SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE:
Remove all packaging materials and any

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
™
Griddler™for the
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
you want to cook something in a short amount
of time or when you are looking for a healthy
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
the grease to drip from the meat and drain off
the plates.
When the Griddler
™
is used as a
Contact Grill
the grill plates are recommended. Rest the
cover 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.
