BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packing materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your grill.
Be sure all parts (listed under
Parts &
Features)
of your new appliance have been
included before discarding any packing
materials. You may want to keep the box and
packing materials for use at a later date.
ATTENTION
Be sure to unpack your new Cuisinart
®
GRIDDLER & DEEP PAN carefully. It comes
with 3 accessories: a pair of detachable
grip handles for the deep pan, an integrated
drip tray inserted at the base of the unit,
and a scraping tool.
The reversible grill and griddle plates are
interchangeable and can be used in
combination.
Remove any dust from shipping by wiping
the base, cover and controls with a damp
cloth. Thoroughly clean cooking plates,
deep pan, drip tray and scraping tool.
NOTE
It may take up to 10 minutes to reach
operating temperature, depending on the
temperature level that was set.
Always exercise caution when handling
the Griddler & Deep Pan during cooking
and after.
The upper and lower housing are
made of plastic and may become very
warm. It is not recommended to be touched
during or immediately following cooking. If
you need to adjust the cover or move the
base, be sure to use an oven mitt to
prevent burns.
Whenever grasping the handle, take extra
precaution with the arms, as they are made
of diecast aluminium and will become very
hot, very quickly.
The first time you use the Griddler & Deep
Pan, it may have a slight odour and may
smoke slightly. This is normal and common
to appliances with nonstick surfaces.
The Griddler & Deep Pan comes with a
black scraping tool to be used for cleaning
the sides of both the grill and griddle plates
after you have finished cooking and only
when the unit has completely cooled down
(at least 30 minutes). Ensure short use of
the cleaning tool on a hot surface to avoid
the plastic melting.
Never use metal utensils, as they will
scratch the nonstick plates.
Never leave plastic utensils in contact with
the hot grill plates. This includes the
provided cleaning tool.
