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
A.
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
B.
(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.
C.
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.

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.
