With the Full Grill, 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 Full Grill also accommodates
different cuts of meat with varying
thicknesses, allowing you to cook each
piece to your liking.
full Griddle
Use the Griddler
®
as a Full Griddle to
cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash
browns and breakfast meats.
When you use the Griddler
®
as a Full
Griddle, open the cover so it lies 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 side of the plates should be used.
Cooking on the Full Griddle 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.
Half Grill/Half Griddle
Use the Griddler
®
as a Half Grill/Half
Griddle in order to create full meals like
bacon and eggs or steak and potatoes at
the same time.
When using the Griddler
®
as a Half Grill/
Half Griddle, simply place the unit in the
flat position and insert one plate with the
grill side facing up, and another plate with
the griddle side facing up. This cooking
option allows you to use either the grill/
panini temperature or the griddle
temperature selector.

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.
