3. • To use open as a barbecue for burgers, hot dogs, bacon,
sausage, etc., lift the handle so that the Griddle stands
upright. (C)
3. • To use the Griddle side for pancakes, eggs, French toast,
grilled cheese sandwiches, or to warm burger/frank
buns, it must be flat. With the Griddle sitting up
vertically, pull straight up on the handle, then lower it
down so that the Griddle rests flat. (D) This side is also
great for sautéing onions or other vegetables as
garnishes for steaks, fish, or meats.
4. Once plugged in, the Grill side (ridged) will heat to
maximum temperature. The Griddle (flat) side will only
heat when the Temperature Control is adjusted. For most
foods, use the maximum setting. Lower temperatures work
well to keep foods warm or to reheat cooked foods.
5. When using the Griddle side, be sure the Grease Chute is
positioned over the Grease Tray. NOTE: The Grill side will
continue to heat to maximum temperature.
6. The surface of the Grill side is angled so that grease drains
to the middle away from the food into the Grease Tray.
7. Consult the cooking charts as a guide for food amounts and cooking times. Watch foods and
turn frequently for more even cooking.
