If the Griddler
is already in the open position and you
®
wish to adjust it to the flat position, pull the handle
slightly toward you and then lift and hold the hinge
release lever. Push the handle back until the handle
rests on the countertop. Pulling the handle forward
slightly before
lifting the hinge
release lever will
take some of the
pressure off of the
hinge, and you will
be able to adjust
the Griddler
®
more easily.
Smoke-less Mode
To cook in Smoke-less mode, there are two actions
that need to be performed to the unit, depending
upon what position you are cooking in this mode:
1. Create the lower plate / base angle by pulling
out the front foot extension
2. Create upper plate / cover angle by adjusting
the hinge
Flat Position/Full Smoke-less — Upper plate/cover
and lower plate/base are both angled inward, creating
a "V" shape. The upper and lower plates 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.
To adjust the Griddler to this position, locate the foot
extension on the front underside of the base and fold
out toward you, creating the base angle. Next, locate
the hinge release lever on the right arm. With your left
hand on the handle, use your right hand to lift and
hold the hinge release lever. Push the handle back,
until the cover is slightly beyond the open position.
Release the lever and continue to push handle
back until it comes into the next locked position.
The handle will be slightly above the countertop,
creating the upper plate angle.
NOTE: In the flat/full smoke-less position, you may
select to use smoke-less mode for either the upper
plate only, lower plate only, or both.
Closed Smoke-less Position — For smoke-less
grilling in the closed position, you will need to angle
the lower plate/base. To adjust the Griddler to this
position, locate the foot extension on the front
underside of the base and fold out toward you,
creating the base angle.
Open Smoke-less Position — Upper plate/cover is
open slightly beyond a 90-degree angle. Open the
cover to this position before using the Griddler as a
Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the Griddler
for smoke-less cooking in the open position, locate
the foot extension on the front underside of the base
and fold out toward you, creating the base angle.

To insert cooking plates
Adjust the Griddler
to the flat position with the
®
control panel directly in front of you. Insert one plate
at a time. Each plate is designed to fit in either the
upper housing or the lower housing of the Griddler
If you are facing the Griddler
be at the rear of the plate. Locate the metal brackets
at the center of the housing. Tilt the back end of the
plate and line up the cutouts at the back of the plate
with the metal brackets. Slide the plate underneath
the brackets
and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap
into place. Turn the Griddler
second plate on either its grill or griddle side into the
upper housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates
Once the Griddler
has cooled, adjust to flat position.
®
Locate the plate release button on one side of the
unit. Press firmly on button and the plate will pop up
slightly from the base.
Grasp the plate with
two hands, slide it
out from under the
metal brackets, and
lift it out of the base.
Press on the other
plate release button
to remove the other
cooking plate in the
same manner.
To position drip tray
One side of the base has a slot provided for the drip
tray. Slide the drip tray into the base according to the
instructions on the tray.
Grease from the food will run off the plates through
the drip spout and into the drip tray. Slowly remove
the drip tray.
Grease should
be safely
disposed of after
the Griddler
has
®
cooled down
completely. The
drip tray can be
cleaned in the
dishwasher.
