OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Once the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press is
assembled properly, plug the cord into a
standard electrical outlet. The red indicator light
will illuminate to indicate that the power is on.
If you intend to use the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini
Press in the flat position, but you do not need
the entire surface, it is recommended to use the
bottom plate.
We recommend you preheat in the closed
position. It may take up to 8 minutes to reach
operating temperature. When the thermostat has
reached operating temperature, the green
indicator light will indicate that the Griddler
®
Grill
& Panini Press is ready for cooking. During
operation, the light will continue to turn on and
off as the thermostat regulates the temperature.
This is normal
.
Always exercise caution when handling the
Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press during cooking, as
the housing will become hot during use. To open
the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press, grasp the black
plastic area of the handle. This part of the handle
stays cool to the touch while cooking. The arms
are made of die-cast aluminum and will become
hot during use. Do not touch them during or
immediately following cooking.
The cover is made of stainless steel and will
become very hot and should not be touched
during or immediately following cooking. If you
need to adjust the cover, be sure to use oven
mitts to prevent burns.
The lower housing is made of plastic, and while
it will become very warm, it will not burn you. If
you need to move the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini
Press during cooking, be sure to handle it from
the base only while wearing oven mitts. Do not
touch the cover.
Allow the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press to cool
down before handling (at least 30 minutes).
NOTE: The first time you use the Griddler
®
Grill
& Panini Press, it may have a slight odor and
may smoke a bit. This is normal and common
to appliances with nonstick surfaces.
USER MAINTENANCE
• Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch
the nonstick plates. Instead, use only wooden
or heat-proof plastic utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with
the hot grill plates.
• In between recipes, use a wooden or heat-
proof plastic utensil to scrape excess food
buildup through grease channels and into drip
cup, then wipe off any residue with a paper
towel before proceeding with next recipe.
• Allow the Griddler
®
Grill & Panini Press to
cool down completely (at least 30 minutes)
before cleaning.
• Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING APPLIANCE,
MAKE SURE IT IS UNPLUGGED AND HAS
COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.
Once you have finished cooking, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit
to cool down for at least 30 minutes before
handling.
Dispose of grease from the drip tray once
cooled. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand
or in the dishwasher.
Press the plate release buttons to remove
plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates
have cooled completely before handling (at
least 30 minutes). The cooking plates can be
washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metal
objects such as knives or forks for cleaning. Do
not use a scouring pad for cleaning; the
nonstick coating can be damaged.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the
cooking plates with lemon juice to prevent the
seafood flavor from transferring to the next
recipe.
The housing base and cover can be wiped
clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains,
dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or
harsh pad.
