Griddle (model CGH902 only)
The appliance can also be used as a griddle to prepare
pancakes, eggs, cheese, fritters and bacon and sausages for

a fantastic breakfast for two or for all the family. The large

prepared simultaneously, or to cook more of the same food.
When the appliance is used as a griddle, the cover must be
fully opened to create a double at cooking surface.
In this position, you need to turn the food during cooking.
When using this function, insert the griddle plates.
USE
When the appliance has been prepared correctly and you are
ready to cook, turn the mode selector to the left to choose
the griddle function with griddle or grill plate, or to the
right to choose the grill/panini function.
After selecting one of the two positions, the red light comes
on to indicate that the appliance is on.
To use the appliance as a contact grill, panini press, turn the
thermostat dial to the required temperature.
You can set a temperature of between 175°F (80°C) to 450°F
(230°C). To use the appliance as a griddle plate or open grill,
turn the griddle thermostat dial to the required temperature.
You can set it from position WARM to SEAR.
The appliance takes up to eight minutes to heat up depending
on the set temperature. When the thermostat reaches the
required temperature, the green light comes on to indicate
the appliance is ready to use. It is normal for the light to
go on and o during use as the thermostat regulates the
temperature.
The thermostat dials adjust the temperature of the cooking
surface. The temperature can be varied at any time during
cooking, depending on the type of food being prepared. Take
great care when cooking.
To open the appliance, hold the black part of the handgrip
which remains cold. The die-cast aluminium parts become
very hot, avoid touching them during and immediately after
cooking. If you need to adjust the position of the cover during
cooking, always use an oven mitt to avoid burns.
The upper plate housing is made from plastic and even
though it may become very hot, there is no risk of burns.
Before performing any operation on the appliance, leave to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Please note: The rst time you use the appliance, it may
give o a slight odour and a little smoke. This is normal
and common to all appliances with non-stick surfaces. The
appliance is supplied with a black cleaning tool to clean the
plates when the appliance has completely cooled down after
use (after at least 30 minutes). If you use the tool for a long
time on plates which are still hot, the plastic may melt.
COOKING POSITIONS
Rest the appliance on a clean at surface where you want
to cook. The appliance can be used in the three following
positions:
Closed position - The lower plate/cover rests on the upper
plate/base. This is the starting position and also one of the
cooking positions when the appliance is used as a contact
grill.
Open position - The lower plate/cover is open and at 100°
with respect to the base. The cover must be opened to this
position before using the appliance as a contact grill.
To place the cover in this position, just lift by the handgrip
until you hear a click. The cover automatically adjusts to the
thickness of the food on the plate. The cover remains in the
open position until the handgrip is lowered. This releases the
cover which is lowered until it covers the foods to be cooked.
The food will thus be cooked evenly on both sides.
When the handgrip is raised after cooking, the cover remains
parallel to the base.
To bring it back to the vertical, after removing the food, close
and re-open the appliance.
Flat position (fully open) - The lower plate/cover is level
with the upper plate/base. The upper and lower plates are
both at the same level, forming a large cooking surface.
In this position, the appliance can be used in barbecue mode
with either the grill plate or the griddle plate.
To place the appliance in this position, rst identify the hinge
