With the Full Grill, you have double the surface
area (200 sq. inches or 500 cm
2
) for grilling.
You have the option of cooking different types
of foods on separate plates without combining
their flavours, 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
favourite 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.
Waffle Maker
Use the Griddler
®
Waffle
Plates to cook a variety of
home-made waffles.
Note: The Cuisinart
®
Griddler
®
Waffle Plates
have been treated with a special nonstick
coating. Before the first use, we suggest you
season the grids with cooking spray or
flavorless vegetable oil. If using oil, apply oil
with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may
find it helpful to repeat this process before
each use of the waffle plates.
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 a Full Grill, Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half
Griddle.
