BEFORE THE FIRST USE:

Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers from your grill. Be sure all parts (listed under Parts and Features) of your new appliance have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.

Note: Drips cups are located on outside of left polyfoam insert.

Before using your Cuisinart™ Griddler for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the base, cover and controls with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean cooking plates, drip trays and scraping tool. The grill and griddle plates, drip trays and cleaning tool are dishwasher safe. Refer to Assembly Instructions for plate removal.

THE GRIDDLER

DOES IT ALL:

The Griddler is the ultimate kitchen appliance, offering you four separate cooking options. Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the hinge to use as a Contact Grill, Panini Press, Open Grill or Griddle. See Assembly Instructions and Operating Instructions.

Contact Grill:

Use the Griddler as a Contact Grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.

The Contact Grill function works best when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the Contact Grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food item at the same time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates.

When the Griddler is used as a Contact Grill the grill plates are recommended. Rest the cover evenly on top of the food until it has reached the desired cooked temperature. The Griddler was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with even results.
