IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
and knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electrical shock,
and injury to persons, DO NOT
IMMERSE CORD, plug, or unit in water
or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest Customer
Service (see Warranty for details) for
examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may result in
fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Unplug the unit when finished cooking.

12. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.

13. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.

then plug cord into the wall outlet.
To disconnect, remove plug from

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is to be 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 unintentionally, 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Before using your Cuisinart® Griddler™
overstuffed sandwich maker for the
first time, remove all protective paper
and wrapping. Remove any dust from
shipping by wiping the plates with
a damp cloth.

2. Preheat the sandwich maker. Close
lid and plug cord into a 120V AC wall
outlet. The red light will go on to signal
power. The green indicator light will go
on when unit is ready to use.

Note: The first time you use your

sandwich maker, it may have a slight
odor and may smoke a bit. This is
normal, and common to appliances
with a nonstick surface.

Note:

The cooking plates of this
Cuisinart® Griddler™ overstuffed
sandwich maker have been treated with
a special nonstick coating. Before the
first use, we suggest you season the
grids with cooking spray or oil. If using
oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry
brush. You may find it helpful to repeat
this process before each use of the
sandwich maker.

3. When the green indicator light goes
on, place ingredients on bottom plate
according to recipes. Close the lid and
lock it.

4. It may take several seconds for the
green light to go off. This is normal.

5. Once the food is ready to eat, the green
light will come on again.

6. Remove food by gently loosening the
edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula.
Never use metal utensils, as they may
damage the nonstick coating.

7. Always disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet once cooking is completed.
