If you intend to use the Griddler

®

 as a Full 

Griddle, turn the Griddle control to the 

desired temperature for cooking. Settings 

range from 200°F to 425°F.
If you intend to use the Griddler

®

 as a Half 

Grill/Half Griddle, you may use either the 

grill/panini temperature or the griddle 

temperature.
If you intend to use the Griddler

®

 as a Half 

Grill/Half 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 pages 16–17 of the 

Recipe Book for recommendations.
Always exercise caution when handling 

the Griddler

®

 during cooking, as the 

Griddler

®

 housing will become hot during 

use. 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 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 

can become very warm. If you need to 

move the Griddler

®

 during cooking, be 

sure to handle it from the base only while 

wearing an oven mitt. 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 both the grill and griddle 

sides of the 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.

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. This includes 

the provided cleaning tool.

•  In between recipes, use a wooden or 

heat-proof plastic utensil to scrape 

excess food buildup through grease 

channels and into drip tray, then wipe 

off any residue with a paper towel 

before proceeding with next recipe. 

•  Allow the Griddler

®

 to cool down 

completely (at least 30 minutes) before 

cleaning.
