BEFORE THE FIRST USE:

Remove all packaging materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your grill.
Be sure all parts (listed under Parts and
Features) of your new appliance have been
included before discarding any packaging
materials. You may want to keep the box and
packing materials for use at a later date.
Note: Drips cups are located on outside of left
polyfoam insert.
Before using your Cuisinart
first time, remove any dust from shipping by
wiping the base, cover and controls with a
damp cloth. Thoroughly clean cooking plates,
drip trays and scraping tool. The grill and
griddle plates, drip trays and cleaning tool
are dishwasher safe. Refer to Assembly
Instructions for plate removal.
THE GRIDDLER DOES IT
ALL:
The Griddler is the ultimate kitchen appliance,
offering you four separate cooking options.
Simply change the cooking plates and adjust
the hinge to use as a Contact Grill, Panini
Press, Open Grill or Griddle. See Assembly
Instructions and Operating Instructions.
Contact Grill:
Use the Griddler as a Contact Grill to cook
burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts
of meat and vegetables.
The Contact Grill function works best when
7
you want to cook something in a short amount
2
of time or when you are looking for a healthy
8
method of grilling. When cooked on the Contact
Grill, food will cook quickly because you are
grilling both sides of the food item at the same
time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with
the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow
7
the grease to drip from the meat and drain off
1
the plates.
When the Griddler is used as a Contact Grill the
grill plates are recommended. Rest the cover
5
evenly on top of the food until it has reached
the desired cooked temperature.
The Griddler was designed with a unique
handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust
to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill
anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick
sirloin steak with even results.
