BEFORE THE

FIRST USE

Remove all packaging materials and any labels or

stickers from your grill. Be sure all parts (see

Features and Benefits

) have been included

before discarding any packaging materials. You

may want to keep the box and packing materials

for use at a later date.

Before using your Cuisinart

®

Griddler

®

Elite for the

first time, remove any dust from shipping by

wiping the base, cover and controls with a damp

cloth. Thoroughly clean cooking plates, drip tray

and scraping tool; all are dishwasher safe. Refer

to Assembly Instructions for

plate removal.

ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS

Place base on a clean, flat surface where you

intend to cook, with the controls directly in front

of you.

To insert the cooking plates:

1.

Choose the side(s) you intend to cook on. The

two cooking plates each have two sides:

a. Grill side: ribbed surface intended for grilling

steaks, hamburgers, chicken, seafood and

vegetables. Also can be used for panini and

other toasted sandwiches.

b. Griddle side: smooth surface intended for

cooking bacon and eggs, pancakes and French

toast. Also can be used for panini and other

toasted sandwiches.

2.

Identify the lower and upper plates. The word

LOWER or UPPER is embossed on both sides

of each plate.

3.

Locate the connector prongs on the plate(s)

and line up with the appropriate connection

blocks. Slide the connector prongs into the

blocks and push down the front end of the

plate(s). They will snap into place.

NOTE:

If the plate(s) are not inserted properly

and completely into the connection blocks, the

plate(s) will not heat up. This is a safety feature

that prevents the user from operating the grill

when it is not assembled correctly.
