B Selecting The Cooking Position - Cuisinart GR4CU Manual

B Selecting the cooking position
Once you have fitted the cooking plates you intend to use, you need to select the cooking
position.
fully open position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the fully open position to
create a double cooking surface.
To adjust the Griddle & Grill to the fully open position, lift the
handle using your left hand, then use your right hand to push the hinge lock located on
the right side of the product upwards. As you do this, push the handle back, until it is
resting on the work surface and the upper and lower plates are level.
Half open position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the half open position. To adjust
the appliance to this position, simply lift the handle until it comes
into the fully upright position. The unit will stay in this position
until you close the cover or continue to open it to the fully open
position.
Closed position
The Griddle & Grill can be used in the closed position as a contact
grill/panini press and is is ideal for quick cooking as the heat
comes from both sides of the plates.
The floating hinge design means that the space between the top
and bottom plate adjusts to the thickness of your food. When
cooking more than one item at a time, try to ensure the thickness
of the food is consistent to ensure even cooking for each piece
of food.
To achieve this position simply place food on the bottom plate, place your left hand on the
handle, use your right hand to push up the hinge lock with light pressure and push down
on the lid until the lid is level with the base unit and is resting on your food. You can apply
light pressure using the handle to press whilst cooking to lock in flavour.
