BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your grill.
Be sure all parts (listed on page 3, 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.
Before using your Goodful
™
by Cuisinart
®
Grill/
Griddle for the fi rst time, remove any dust from
shipping by wiping the base and temperature
control with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean
the cooking plate and drip tray. The cooking
plate can be submerged in water for cleaning.
Never place the temperature control with
power cord in the dishwasher, nor should you
immerse it in water. Always use a damp cloth to
clean these parts.
ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Place base on a clean, fl at surface where you
intend to cook.
2. The inside of the base has a space provided
for drip tray. Slide the drip tray into the base.
3. The cooking plate has two surfaces.
The Grill side with ribbed surface is intended
for grilling steaks, hamburgers, chicken,
seafood, and vegetables. The Griddle side
with smooth surface is perfect for cooking
bacon and eggs, pancakes, French toast and
toasted sandwiches. Make sure that the drip
hole in the cooking plate lines up with the
front of the base.
4. With the cooking plate correctly
positioned on the base and safety
interlock aligned, insert the temperature
control probe into the socket on right side of
the appliance housing base.
Unit will activate and temperature can be
adjusted as needed.

(120 volts).
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Once the Goodful™ by Cuisinart
®
Grill/Griddle
is assembled properly and you are ready to
begin cooking, turn the temperature control
knob to the desired temperature level. The
indicator light will illuminate to indicate that
the power is on. It may take 6 to 8 minutes to
reach operating temperature, depending on the
temperature level that has been set.
When the thermostat has reached
the desired temperature, the indicator light
will turn off, indicating that the Goodful
™
by
Cuisinart Grill/Griddle 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 control is used to set and
maintain the temperature of the cooking
surface. Temperatures range from about 150°F
on the Warm setting to 400°F on the highest
setting. 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.
CAUTION:
The cooking plate should not be
removed from the base while hot. Allow unit
to cool down for at least 30 minutes before
handling.
The Grill/Griddle has a built-in safety feature
that prevents the unit from operating when the
cooking plate is not on the base. If the base
and plate are not aligned and probe inserted in
safety interlock, unit will not operate.
HEALTHIER COOKING
When cooking with your Grill/Griddle you do
not need to add oil or butter to prevent foods
from sticking. If you wish to enhance the fl avor
and appearance of foods, you need add only
a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of
your cookware.
