With the Full Grill, you have double the surface area (200 sq. inches) for grilling. You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The Full Grill also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking. Full Griddle Use the Griddler® as a Full Griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats. When you use the Griddler® as a Full Griddle, open the cover so it lies flat, creating a double, flat cooking surface. In this position, the foods you are preparing will have to be turned over for cooking. When using this cooking function, the griddle side of the plates should be used. Cooking on the Full Griddle is a wonderful way to prepare breakfast for two or for a large family. The large surface area allows you to cook a variety of different foods at the same time, or large amounts of your favorite food. Half Grill/Half Griddle Use the Griddler® as a Half Grill/Half Griddle in order to create full meals like bacon and eggs or steak and potatoes at the same time. When using the Griddler® as a Half Grill/ Half Griddle, simply place the unit in the flat position and insert one plate with the grill side facing up, and another plate with the griddle side facing up. This cooking option allows you to use either the grill/ panini temperature or the griddle temperature selector. assembly instructions Place Griddler® on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The Griddler® can be positioned in three ways: Closed Position - Upper plate/cover rests flat on lower plate/base. This is your starting and heating position when using the Contact Grill or Panini Press functions. Open Position - Upper plate/cover is open and in the 100° position. Open the cover to this position before using the Griddler® as a Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the Griddler® to this position, simply lift the handle until you feel it come to a locking position. The unit will stay in this position until you close the cover or continue to open it to the flat position. The cover will stay in the upright position until you lower the handle for cooking.

When you lift the handle to open the Griddler® after cooking, the cover will remain in the flat position, parallel with the lower plate. In order to lock the cover back into the upright position, you must close the Griddler®, without any food in place, and open it again.
