Check to make sure your unit is plugged into a functional outlet.

Contact Customer Service at 1-800-726-0190.

If the PLATE SELECT dial is not turned to ON within 10 minutes of the
unit being plugged in, the Griddler
lights will turn off. Turn the PLATE SELECT dial to ON to “wake up” the
unit and operate the unit as normal.

It is possible the unit overheated. Wait for the unit to cool down and try
again. If it does not turn back on, contact Customer Service at 1-800­726-0190.

If already cooking and you want to change the temperature of the
current plate selection, you do not need to hit START/STOP button
again. Doing so will turn the unit off. Simply change the temperature
dial for the current plate selection and the unit will adjust automatically.

Can I sear when I’m
already cooking?

Can I adjust my SEAR
cycle time?

Yes. Simply press the SEAR button(s) and the plates will preheat to sear
temperature. We recommend you take the food off during preheating to
SEAR. Once the SEAR cycle is complete, the unit will revert back to
previously selected temperatures.

You can only sear for 2 minutes max. However if you would like to sear
for less than 2 minutes, simply press the down arrow button.

IMPORTANT!

Do not throw away. Keep for future reference.

In order to ensure safe operation and optimum performance,

please read the entire Instruction Booklet.
