[. . . ] Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking. When cooking more than one Panini, it is important that the thickness of each sandwich is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the Panini. Griddle: Use the GriddlerTM as a Griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats. Using the Griddle function 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. When you use the GriddlerTM as a Griddle, open the cover so it lays 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 plates should be used. 3 IB-5280(0, 0) 7pp 6/25/04 8:08 PM Page 5 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Place GriddlerTM on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The GriddlerTM 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 GriddlerTM as a Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the GriddlerTM 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 this is done, the cover will release itself so that it lies flat on the top of the food you are preparing. When you lift the handle to open the GriddlerTM 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 GriddlerTM, without any food in place, and open it again. The upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface. The GriddlerTM is in this position when it is used as an Open Grill or Griddle. To adjust the GriddlerTM to this position, locate the hinge release lever on the right arm. With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. The unit will stay in this position until 4 you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.
