this position when it is used as a Full
Grill, Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half
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 you lift the
handle and cover to return it to the
closed position.
If the Griddler is
already in the
open position
and you wish 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 lever 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 page 5) 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.
If you are
facing the
Griddler, the
drip spout
should be at
the rear of
the plate.
Locate the metal brackets at the centre
of the housing. Tilt the back end of the
plate and line up the cutouts at the
back of the 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
second plate on either its grill or griddle
side into the upper housing as you did
with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates
Once the Griddler is cooled, adjust to
flat position (see page 5). Locate the
plate release
button 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.
To position drip tray
One side of
the base has
a slot
provided for
the drip tray.
Slide the drip
tray into the
base according to the instruction on the
tray.
Grease from the food will run off the
plates through the grease spout and
into the drip tray. Grease should be
safely disposed of after the Griddler
has cooled down completely. The drip
tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
