sandwiches (see figure B). Choose the 

side you intend to cook on and place 

the cooking plate on the base with the 

chosen side facing up. You can use a 

grill plate on one side and a griddle 

plate on the other side at the same 

time, if you like (see figure C).

 

   It is important that you place the 

cooking plates onto the base correctly, 

or the Griddler

 Combo

 will not work. 

Locate the drip 

holes on one 

end of the 

cooking plate. 

Place the 

cooking plates 

onto the 

base with 

the drip 

holes lining 

up over the 

drip tray.  

Slide cooking 

plate under the 

locking clips at 

centre edge. 

Then press 

down the 

cooking plate and locked by release 

button at handle. This is a safety 

feature that prevents the user from 

operating the Griddler

 Combo when it 

is not assembled correctly.

  4.  Plug the cord into a standard electrical 

outlet. You are now ready to begin 

cooking. 

A cleaning/scraping tool has also been 

included with your Griddler

 Combo. This 

has been designed to aid in cleaning your 

grill, but is not intended for use during or 

immediately following cooking. The cleaning 

/scraping tool should be used only after 

your grill has been turned off and has 

cooled down completely (at least 30 

minutes). It should never be used on a hot 

grill/griddle surface as the heat will cause 

the plastic to melt.

OPERATING 

INSTRUCTIONS

Once the Griddler

 Combo is assembled 

properly and you are ready to begin 

cooking, turn the temperature control knob 

to the desired temperature level. 
The red indicator light will illuminate to 

indicate that the power is on. It may take 10 

to 15 minutes to reach operating 

temperature, depending on the temperature 

level that has been set. When the 

thermostat has reached the desired 

temperature, the red indicator light will turn 

off and the green indicator light will turn on, 

indicating that the Griddler

 Combo is ready 

for cooking.
During operation, the indicator lights 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 

250°F (120°C) on the Low setting to 400°F 

(200°C) on the High setting. You can 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 plates. Refer to the 

Cooked Food 

Temperature Chart

 on page 5 for 

recommendations.

CAUTION:

 Handles will become hot during 

use. The cooking plate should not be 

removed from the base or flipped over while 

hot. Allow unit to cool down for at least 30 

minutes before handling. 

NOTE:

 The first time you use your Griddler

 

Combo, it may have a slight odour and 

smoke a bit. This is normal and common to 

appliances with a nonstick surface. 

To use reverse side of plate

  1.  Turn temperature control knob to 

OFF setting.

  2. Unplug appliance from wall outlet.
  3. Allow unit to cool down completely.
  4.  Carefully slide out the drip tray and 

dispose of its contents. Clean tray and 

replace in base (see Cleaning and 

Care).

  5. Thoroughly clean cooking plates (see 

Cleaning and Care).

  6.  Slide release bottom at handle to 

release the cooking plate. Hold cooking 

plates by the handles when removing 

from base, flipping plates over, and 

returning to base.

  7. Make sure that holes in plate line up 

over drip tray.

  8.  Plug the cord into a standard electrical 

outlet.

User Maintenance

•  Never use the provided cleaning/scraping 

tool on the hot grill or griddle surface. Use 

only when cooking plate is cool.

•  Never use metal utensils, as they will 

scratch the nonstick grill plate. Instead, 

use only wooden or heat-proof plastic 

utensils. 

•  Never leave plastic utensils in contact with 

the hot grill plate.

•  After using, scrape excess food buildup 

through holes and into drip tray, then wipe 

off any residue with a paper towel before 

proceeding with next recipe. 

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING 

APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE IT HAS 

COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.

Once you have finished cooking, turn the 

temperature control knob to the OFF 

setting, and allow the unit to cool down 

completely. Unplug the appliance from wall 

outlet. Carefully slide the drip tray out from 

the base and dispose of its contents. The 

drip tray can be cleaned by hand or in the 

dishwasher.
Use the cleaning/scraping tool to remove 

any leftover food from the cooking plate. 

The cleaning/scraping tool should be used 

only on a cool surface. 
Do not use during or immediately following 

cooking, as the heat from the cooking plate 

will cause the plastic to melt. 
Do not use metallic objects such as knives 

or forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring 

pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can 

be damaged.
Cooking plates are dishwasher-safe.
The housing base can be wiped clean with a 

soft, dry cloth. For tough stains, dampen 

cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or 

harsh pad.

STORAGE

Always dry and assemble the grill (without 

controller) before storing. 
Ensure that the base, cooking plates and 

drip tray are correctly positioned. 
Store the temperature control probe in a 

safe place. Do not knock or drop the probe, 

as this can cause damage.
