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
center edge.
Then press
down the
cooking plate and locked by release
button at handle. This is a safety
feature that prevents the user from

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 on the Low setting to 400°F 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.

The first time you use your Griddler
™
Combo, it may have a slight odor and
smoke a bit. This is normal and common to
appliances with a nonstick surface.
