the scraping/cleaning tool in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.

Refer to the section“Cleaning and Storage”for more information.

B. Installing the cooking plates

• Place the appliance on a clean, ﬂat and dry surface. The control

panel should be facing you.

ﬁnely sliced meats, ﬁsh and shellﬁsh.

the base of the appliance (Fig. 1). Then press each plate in until it is

ﬁrmly in place.

• To remove the plates, press the release button for the plates located

on the side of the appliance.Then pull the plates towards you (Fig.2).

C. Advice for use

Thanks to its exclusive ﬂoating hinge, the Griddler Cuisinart lets you

cook your food in the closed or in the open, ﬂat position, this way

doubling the available heating surface. Before you start to cook,

select the conﬁguration that is best adapted to your recipe.

Important: Preheating lasts for 15 minutes. The end of the Griddler

Pro’s pre-heating period is indicated by the lights stopping ﬂashing

and remaining lit.

• GRILL/PANINI POSITION

by turning the middle knob to the right. Select the desired cooking

temperature using the right knob. The red indicator light will go on

when the unit has reached the selected temperature. Place the food

on the lower plate then close the grill. The distance between the two

cooking plates will adjust automatically to the thickness of the food.

• PLANCHA POSITION

Insert the Griddle cooking plates then open the cooking surface

to the ﬂat position by pulling the button located on the right of

the handle. Turn the selection knob to the left to the mode.

Select the desired cooking temperature using the left knob.The red

indicator light will go on when the unit has reached the selected

located on the right of the handle. Select the mode by turning

the middle knob to the left. Select the desired cooking temperature

using the left knob. The red indicator light will go on when the unit

has reached the selected temperature. Place the food evenly on the

plates.

D. Installing the drip tray

At the back of the appliance base there is slot for the drip tray.

• Slide the drip tray from right to left into this slot.

• The fats and juices from cooking the foods ﬂow over the plates and

are collected in the drip tray.

• Empty the drip tray after the Griddler Pro has cooled completely.

• The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher.

4. ADVICE FROM CHEFS

• To preserve the non-stick quality of the cooking plates, do not let

them remain heated and not in use for too long and do not use

abrasives to clean.

• Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to turn your food and

avoid cutting it on the plates.

• Cut the food evenly to obtain even cooking.

• With practice, you will become accustomed to the cooking times

and settings necessary to cook food to taste.

• Prepare spice-based marinades or condiments for your meat or

ﬁsh; grilled foods will be fragrant and plancha-cooked foods more

tender.

• If you grilled ﬁsh or shellﬁsh on the plates, rub a little lemon juice

on them with a cloth, this will prevent the characteristic odour from

remaining on the plates the next time you use them.

5. CLEANING AND STORAGE

• When you have ﬁnished cooking, turn the button to“O”and unplug

the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool completely (minimum

1/2 hour) before cleaning it.

• Use the cleaning tool to remove food residues that remain on the

cooking plates.

• Discard fat that has run into the drip cup.

• Remove the plates from the appliance by pressing the ejection

buttons.

• The cleaning tool, drip cup and plates can be washed in hot, soapy

water or in the dishwasher.

• Do not use metal objects such as a knife or fork, or abrasive sponges

or cleaning products that could damage the coating.

• To clean the housing, lid and handle of the appliance, use a damp

cloth and a little soft detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges or

products.

• Cleaning the appliance regularly prevents substantial build-up.

The Griddler remains easy to clean and it will continue to perform

properly.

• Before storing your grill, put the plates and the drip tray back

in position, close the lid then wind the cable around the hooks

intended for this purpose.

6. QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

WHAT DO I DO IF: ANSWERS

The appliance smokes the ﬁrst time I use it? It's normal for the appliance to smoke a little during the ﬁrst use. Clean with a

damp cloth before turning it on.

The appliance turns itself oﬀ? Check that the middle control is not in the“O”position and that the appliance is

plugged in.

It is possible that the appliance has overheated. Unplug the appliance and allow to

cool for at least 15 minutes. Turn it on as usual and start your cooking again.

The food does not cook? Check the plug is ﬁrmly in the outlet and that the cooking mode has been

selected.

The barbecued food does not sear, it is

diﬃcult to cook?

Check that the selected temperature or the cooking mode are appropriate for the

food.

I have diﬀerent kinds of food to be cooked? Use the grill in the ﬂat position (Plancha, barbecue or combined position) and

cook each food on a diﬀerent plate, this way the ﬂavours of the foods will not

mingle.

A little cooking juice leaks onto the body of

the appliance?

Wait until the appliance has cooled completely then wipe with a hot damp cloth.

Never immerse the base of the appliance in water.

There's a lot of smoke during cooking? Avoid using too much grease when cooking. Fat releases smoke. Use a brush to

grease dry foods.
