For using the griddle you have to open the grill totally by pushing on the safety button at the side (10). Then you can open the grill totally and the upper flat plate (9) can rest on the handle (2)

Keep in mind that your grill has a grill plate (6) and a flat plate (9). You can see on the picture how to use the drip cups (11). The griddle knob (3) can be changed into different temperatures.

The griddle is ideal to cook whole dinners. On the lower grill plate you can put meat and on the upper flat plate vegetables for example.

On the flat plate you can also cook pancakes, eggs, french toast. Besides the variety of different foods the griddle also gives you the opportunity to cook large amounts of a certain food at the same time. The use of this appliance is also a healthy way of cooking because the gravy is floating directly into the drip cups.

The Panini grill knob (5) has 4 settings: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and MAXIMUM. The temperature will variety from start position 100^ Celsius up to MAXIMUM 250^ Celsius. These are temperatures based on a closed grill and without any food on it. Make sure you open the grill by grabbing the plastic part of the handle (2). The cover and the metal parts can be very hot.

The Panini grill is extremely useful for grilling sandwiches and bread. Panini is a Italian word for grilled sandwich. For example you can take two slices of bread and in between you put different ingredients like meat or cheese. Put this on the lower plate then close the grill with the upper flat plate and press it a little, so the slices and the ingredients become warm.

Besides the sandwiches you can also bake hamburgers e.g. when the appliance is in closed position. For meat you have to use the griddle knob (3) This will go more fast then when using the open/ flat position. When you want the grilling motif on both sides you have to turn the bread/ meat.

Cleaning

Make sure the appliance is totally cooled down before cleaning. Turn the selector knob (4) to the off position, the grill and griddle knob to the starting position and wait for about 30 minutes. The plates (6&8), drip cups (11) and the grill cleaner (12) are suitable for the dishwasher.
