Push the handle back until the cover rests in the flat position. Pulling the handle forward slightly before pressing the hinge release button will take some of the pressure off the hinge and you will be able to adjust the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press more easily. To insert cooking plates Adjust the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press to the flat position. Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press. If you are facing the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press, the drip spout should be at the rear of the plate. Locate the metal brackets at the center of the housing.

It will snap into place. Turn the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press around and insert the second plate into the upper housing as you did with the first plate. To remove cooking plates 1. Once the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press has cooled, adjust to the flat position. Locate the plate release buttons: a. Lower plate release button 1. located on right side of the base. b. Upper plate release button located at the front forward-facing top cover in the center. Press firmly on button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base. 2. Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift it out of the base. 2. To position drip tray Slide the drip tray into the front of the base at the center according to the instruction on the tray. Grease from the food will run off the plates through the grease spout and into the drip tray. Grease should be safely disposed of after the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press has cooled down completely. The drip tray can be cleaned in the dishwasher. To adjust front feet If grilling meats or other food where adequate grease drainage is required, raise the two front feet located at the underside of the grill to engage tilt feature. 5
