up to create one large cooking surface. The Griddler® is in this position when it is used as a Full Grill, Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half Griddle.

To adjust the Griddler® to this position, locate the hinge release lever on the right arm.

With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter. The unit will stay in this position until you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.

If the Griddler® is already in the open position and you

wish to adjust it

to the flat position, pull the handle slightly

toward you and then lift the hinge release lever. Push the handle back until the cover rests in the flat position. Pulling the handle forward slightly before lifting the hinge release lever will take some of the pressure off of the hinge and you will be able to adjust the Griddler® more easily.

To insert cooking plates

Adjust the Griddler® to the flat position (see page 5) with the controls directly in front of you. Insert one plate at a time.

Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the Griddler®.

If you are facing the Griddler®, the drip spout

should be at the

rear of the

plate. Locate the

metal

brackets at the center of the housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the cutouts at the back of the plate with the metal brackets. Slide the plate underneath the brackets and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place. Turn the Griddler® around and insert the second plate on either its grill or griddle side into the upper housing as you did with the first plate.

To remove cooking plates

Once the Griddler® is cooled, adjust to flat position (see page 5). Locate the plate release button

on one side of the unit. Press

firmly on button and the plate will pop

up slightly from the base.

Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift it out of the base. Press on the other plate release button to remove the other cooking plate in the same manner.

To position drip tray

One side of the base has a slot provided for the drip

tray. Slide

the drip

tray into the base according

to the instruction

on the tray.

Grease from the food will run off the plates through the grease spout and into the drip tray. Grease should be safely disposed of after the Griddler® has cooled down completely. The drip tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Once the Griddler® is assembled properly and you are ready to begin cooking, turn the Selector Dial to the left to choose the Griddle function or to the right to choose the Grill/Panini function, depending on what you intend to cook. When the knob is turned to either function, a red indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the power is on.

If you intend to use the Griddler® as a Contact Grill, Panini Press or Full Grill, turn the Grill/Panini control to the desired temperature for cooking. Settings range from Warm to Sear.
