Operating the Griddler Deluxe Standard Cooking

1. Make sure the Griddler Deluxe is in the PREHEAT position. It is recommended you preheat with grill in the closed position.
2. Turn the UPPER PLATE and/or LOWER PLATE temperature to the desired setting – from Warm to 450°F.
3. A red indicator light on the selected control will illuminate to indicate that the power is on. It may take up to 12 minutes to reach operating temperature, depending on the temperature level that was set. NOTE: The first time you use the Griddler Deluxe, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appliances with nonstick surfaces.
4. When the thermostat has reached operating temperature, a green indicator light inside the chosen control will indicate that the Griddler Deluxe is ready for cooking.
5. You may vary the setting of the control knob at any time during cooking.
6. To turn the plate(s) off, simply turn the temperature dial(s) to the OFF position. NOTE: If the unit is on and heated for more than 2 hours, it will automatically shut off. This is a safety feature of the Griddler Deluxe. To reactivate, simply turn either dial.
