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.

When cooking more than one food item in the Contact Grill, it is important that the thickness of food items is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.

Open Grill:

Use the Griddler as an Open Grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables. Cooking on the Open Grill is the most versatile method of using the Griddler. In the open position, you have double the surface area (200 sq. inches) for grilling. You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking. Open Grill refers to using the Griddler with the cover laying flat, creating a double, flat cooking surface. In this position, the foods you are grilling will have to be turned over for cooking. When the Griddler is used as an Open Grill, the grill plates should be used.

Panini Press:

Use the Griddler as a Panini Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas. The word Panini is an Italian term for grilled sandwich. Panini can include any combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of fresh baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill or griddle plates to toast the bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to make a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using fresh baked bread to produce the best tasting Panini. Popular breads used for Panini are focaccia (a flat bread frequently baked with rosemary, salt and onion on top), michetta (a small round roll with a crisp crust), ciabatta (a rectangular bread with a slightly domed crust) and thick slices of classic Italian bread. When the Griddler is used as a Panini Press, the grill plates are recommended. We recommend the grill plates because a traditional-style Panini sandwich will have grill marks on the bread. However, depending upon the type of sandwich you are preparing, you may wish to use the griddle plates. The Griddler functions as a Panini Press in the same manner that it functions as a Contact Grill. The Griddler was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing, and to rest there evenly. Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking. When cooking more than one Panini, it is important that the thickness of each sandwich is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the Panini.

Griddle:

Use the Griddler as a Griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats. Using the Griddle function is a wonderful way to prepare breakfast for two or for a large family. The large surface area allows you to cook a variety of different foods at the same time, or large amounts of your favorite food. When you use the Griddler as a Griddle, open the cover so it lays flat, creating a double, flat cooking surface. In this position, the foods you are preparing will have to be turned over for cooking. When using this cooking function, the griddle plates should be used.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Place Griddler on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The Griddler can be positioned in three ways: Closed Position Upper plate/cover rests flat on lower plate/base. This is your starting and heating position when using the Contact Grill or Panini Press functions. Open Position Upper plate/cover is open and in the 100 position. Open the cover to this position before using the Griddler as a Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the Griddler to this position, simply lift the handle until you feel it come to a locking position. The unit will stay in this position until you close the cover or continue to open it to the Flat Position. The cover will stay in the upright position until you lower the handle for cooking. When this is done, the cover will release itself so that it lies flat on the top of the food you are preparing. This allows you to cook your food evenly from both top and bottom. When you lift the handle to open the Griddler after cooking the cover will remain in the flat position, parallel with the lower plate. In order to lock the cover back into the upright position, you must close the Griddler, without any food in place, and open it again. Flat Position Upper plate/cover is level with lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface. The Griddler is in this position when it is used as an Open Grill or 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 4

you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position. If the Griddler is already in the open Hinge Release position and you wish Lever 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 switch 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 above) 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. The word lower or upper is embossed into each grill or griddle plate to let you know where to attach the plate. Pick up the lower grill/griddle plate with the cutouts for the heating element facing down. If you are facing the Griddler the drip spout should be at the forward right-hand corner of the plate. Locate the metal brackets Upper Plate Release at the center of the Button housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the cutouts Lower Plate at the back of the Release Button 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 matching grill or griddle plate into the upper housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler to Flat Position (see above). Locate the plate release buttons 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.

Position drip cups:
When using the Griddler as a Contact Grill or Panini Press, only one drip cup is needed. Place the cup directly below the grease spout while cooking. Grease from the food will run off the plates through the grease spout and into the drip cups. Grease should be safely disposed of after cooking. The drip cups can be cleaned in the dishwasher. When using the Griddler as an Open Grill or Griddle, both drip cups should be used. Place the cups at either end of the unit directly below the grease spouts. Once the Griddler is assembled properly, plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. You are now ready to begin cooking.
Griddler during cooking. To open the Griddler 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 Griddler housing will become hot during use. 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 an oven mitt 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 during cooking be sure to handle it from the base only. Do not touch the cover. Allow the Griddler to cool down before handling (at least 30 minutes). NOTE: The first time you use the Griddler, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appliances with nonstick surfaces. The Griddler comes with a black cleaning/scraping tool.This can be used for cleaning the grill and griddle plates after you have finished cooking and the unit has cooled down completely (at least 30 minutes). Using the cleaning tool on a hot surface for too long will cause the plastic to melt.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Once the Griddler is assembled properly and you are ready to begin cooking, turn the Selector 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 Flat Grill, turn the Grill/ Panini Control to the desired temperature for cooking. Settings range from Warm (150) to Sear (450). If you intend to use the Griddler as a Griddle, turn the Griddle Control to the desired temperature for cooking. Temperature settings range from 200 to 425. If you intend to use the Griddler as a Flat Grill or Griddle, but you do not need the entire surface, use the bottom plate. It may take up to 10 minutes to reach operating temperature, depending on the temperature level that was set. When the thermostat has reached operating temperature,a green indicator light inside the chosen control will indicate that the Griddler is ready for cooking. During operation, the light will continue to turn on and off as the thermostat regulates the temperature. This is normal. The temperature controls are used to set and maintain the temperature of the cooking surface. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking, and may wish to do so depending on the types of foods on the cooking plate. Refer to the Cooked Food Temperature Chart on page 17 of the Recipe Book for recommendations. Always exercise caution when handling the 5

User Maintenance:

PANINI PRESS

Use your Griddler Panini & Sandwich Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas. The word panini is an Italian term for grilled sandwiches. Panini can include a combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of freshly baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the filling. Experiment with a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using freshly baked bread to produce the best-tasting panini. Popular breads for panini are focaccia, michette, ciabatta, and thick slices of Italian bread. The Griddler Panini & Sandwich Press was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing. This allows for even toasting and heating. Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking. When cooking two or more panini, it is important that the thickness of all sandwiches is the same so the cover will close evenly on the panini.
