多功能煎烤機
無所不能:
煎烤機為主要的廚房電器，為您提供四種獨立
的烹飪選擇。僅需改變烹飪盤，調節鉸鏈，就
可將其用作扒爐、三明治烤盤機、敞開式烤架
或煎鍋。參見“裝配說明”和“操作說明”。
扒爐：
將 Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機 用作扒爐，可烹
飪漢堡包、無骨肉片和薄肉切片與蔬菜。
當您想短時間內烹飪某種食品或尋找健康的
烤肉方法時，扒爐可發揮最出色的功能。在
扒爐上烹飪時，食品會很快烹飪好，因為您
同時燒烤食物的兩面，並且烹飪時能使油份
從肉上滴落然後沿烹飪盤排出。
將煎烤機用作扒爐時，建議使用烤盤。將蓋
子均衡放在食品頂部，直至達到需要的烹飪
溫度。煎烤機配備一個獨特的把手和允許蓋
子調節食品厚度的鉸鏈。您可輕鬆燒烤所
有的東西，從切得薄薄的土豆到厚厚的牛腰
肉，都可達到均勻效果。
在扒爐內烹飪多個食物時，重要的是食物的
厚度要一致，這樣蓋子會均勻地封閉食物。
Panini三明治烤盤機：
將 Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機 用作三明治烤盤
機，可燒烤三明治、麵包和酥餅。
單詞“Panini”為意大利語，表示烤三明治
的意思。三明治可包含任何組合成分，如蔬
菜、肉和鋪在兩片鮮烤麵包之間的干酪片。
然後，將三明治壓在兩個烤盤或烤架之間，
以烘烤麵包，並給三明治加溫。通過多次實
驗，你會做出各種風味極佳的三明治或甜三
明治。我們建議採用新鮮的麵包，以烤制出
味道最好的三明治。通常用於
三明治的麵包
為focaccia 麵包（一種扁平麵包，烘焙時頂部
經常放迷迭香、鹽和洋蔥）
、michetta麵包 （
外表酥脆的小圓面卷） 、ciabatta 麵包（外
型 稍顯半球形的矩形麵包）和經典意大利麵
包厚片。
把煎烤機用作三明治
烤盤機時，建議使用
烤架。我們推薦烤
架，是因為傳統風格
的三明治會使麵包
上出現烤架痕跡。然
而，根據您制備的
三明治的類型，您可
能希望使用烤盤。作

為三明治烤盤機使用時，使用方法和扒爐一
樣。 Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤 機配備 一個獨特
的把手和允許蓋子調節所制備三明治厚度的
鉸鏈，使蓋子平穩地擺放。向把手輕輕施加壓
力，按您的想法擠壓與加熱三明治。
烹飪多個三明治時，重要的是各三明治的厚
度要一致，這樣蓋子會均勻地封閉三明治。
敞開式烤架：
Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機 用作敞開式烤架，
烹飪漢堡包、牛排、家禽（我們不推薦烹飪
帶骨雞肉，因為這樣的雞肉在敞開式烤架上
烹飪地不均勻）、魚和蔬菜。
在敞開式烤架上烹飪是使用煎烤機的最通用
方法。在敞開位置，可用於燒烤的面積為表
面積的二倍（1290平方厘米）。您可選擇在
單獨烤盤上烹飪不同類型的食品（不用擔心
它們串味）或烹飪大量同類食品。敞開位置
也適合厚度不一的各種肉片，使您按自己的
口味燒烤每片肉。
“ 敞開式烤架”指使用煎烤机時把蓋子平放，
產生兩倍的平坦烹飪表面。在這個位置，您
在燒烤的食物必須翻轉烹飪。將煎烤机用作
敞開式烤架時，應使用烤架。
烤盤：
將Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機用作煎鍋來烹飪
薄烤餅、雞蛋、法式吐司、薯餅和早餐肉。
使用烤盤功能是為兩口之家或大家庭準備早
餐的完美方法。大表面積使您可同時烹飪不
同類型的食品或大量您喜歡的食品。
將煎烤機用作煎鍋時，打開蓋子，把蓋子平放，
產生兩倍的平坦烹飪表面。使用這個烹飪功能
時，應使用烤盤；烹飪時，建議多翻轉食物。
裝配說明：
將Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機放在您想烹飪的
清潔平坦的表面上。
可用三種方法放置煎烤機：
閉合擺放 － 上
盤/蓋子平放在下
盤 / 底 座 上 。 這 時
可使用扒爐或三明
治烤盤機功能。
打開擺放 －
要把煎烤機調節
到這個位置，直
接提起把手直至
您感到它到了鎖
定位置。該產品
一直保持在這個
位置，除非您關
閉蓋子或繼續將
其打開到平坦擺放。
在降低把手進行烹飪之前，蓋子將保持垂直
狀態。降低把手之後，蓋子會被釋放並平放
在所烹制食物的頂部。這樣，您可均勻從
上下兩個面烹飪食物。當烹飪完成後提升把
手，打開煎烤机時，蓋子仍處於平坦位置，
與下盤平行。為了將蓋子鎖定到垂直位置，
您必須在沒有食物時關閉煎烤机，然後再將
其打開。
平坦擺放－ 上盤/蓋子與下盤/底座在同一
水平。上盤和下盤排列起來形成一個大烹飪
表面。
此時煎烤機可用作敞開式烤架或煎鍋。要把
煎烤機調整到這個位置，將右臂上的鉸鏈釋
放桿設置解除。左手放在把手上，用右手將
釋放桿向自己的方向滑動。並把把手向後推
至蓋子平放在櫃台上成水平狀態。在推動把
手和蓋子令其放回到關閉位置之前，該設備
將一直處於這個位置。
如果煎烤機已經
處於打開狀態，
並希望將其調節平
坦擺放，則將把手

Be sure all parts (listed under Parts and
Features) of your new appliance have been
included before discarding any packaging
materials. You may want to keep the box and
packing materials for use at a later date.
Note: Drips cups are located on outside of left
polyfoam insert.
Before using your Cuisinart®Griddler 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 trays and scraping tool. The grill and
griddle plates, drip trays and cleaning tool
are dishwasher safe. Refer to Assembly
Instructions for plate removal.
THE GRIDDLER DOES IT
ALL:
The Griddler is the ultimate kitchen appliance,
offering you four separate cooking options.
Simply change the cooking plates and adjust
the hinge to use as a Contact Grill, Panini
Press, Open Grill or Griddle. See Assembly
Instructions and Operating Instructions.
Contact Grill:
Use the Griddler as a Contact Grill to cook
burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts
of meat and vegetables.
The Contact Grill function works best when
you want to cook something in a short amount
of time or when you are looking for a healthy
method of grilling. When cooked on the Contact
Grill, food will cook quickly because you are
grilling both sides of the food item at the same
time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with
the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow
the grease to drip from the meat and drain off
the plates.
When the Griddler is used as a Contact Grill the
grill plates are recommended. Rest the cover
evenly on top of the food until it has reached
the desired cooked temperature.
The Griddler was designed with a unique
handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust
to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill
anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick
sirloin steak with even results.

When cooking more than one food item in the
Contact Grill, it is important that the thickness
of food items is consistent so the cover will
close evenly on the food.
Panini Press:
Use the Griddler as a Panini Press to grill sand-
wiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word “Panini” is an Italian term for grilled
sandwich. Panini can include any combination
of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and
cheese layered between two pieces of fresh
baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed
between two grill or griddle plates to toast the
bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to
make a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches
for any meal. We recommend using fresh
baked bread to produce the best tasting Panini.
Popular breads used for Panini are focaccia
(a flat bread frequently baked with rosemary,
salt and onion on top), michetta (a small round
roll with a crisp crust), ciabatta (a rectangular
bread with a slightly domed crust) and thick
slices of classic Italian bread.
When the Griddler is used as a Panini Press,
the grill plates are recommended. We recom-
mend the grill plates because a traditional-style
Panini sandwich will have grill marks on the
bread. However, depending upon the type of
sandwich you are preparing, you may wish to
use the griddle plates. The Griddler functions
as a Panini Press in the same manner that it
functions as a Contact Grill. The Griddler was
designed with a unique handle and hinge that
allows the cover to
adjust to the thickness
of the sandwich you
are preparing, and
to rest there evenly.
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 thick-
ness of each sandwich
is consistent so the cover will close evenly
on the Panini.
Open Grill:
Use the Griddler as an Open Grill to cook
burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend
cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook
evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
Cooking on the Open Grill is the most versatile
method of using the Griddler. In the open
position, 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 cook-
ing large amounts of the same type of food. The
open position also accommodates different cuts
of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you
to cook each piece to your liking.
“Open Grill” refers to using the Griddler with the
cover laying flat, creating a double, flat cook-
ing surface. In this position, the foods you are
grilling will have to be turned over for cooking.
When the Griddler is used as an Open Grill, the
grill plates should be used.
Griddle:
Use the Griddler 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 fam-
ily. 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 Griddler 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.

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 this is
done, the cover will release itself so that it lies
flat on the top of the food you are preparing.
This allows you to cook your food evenly from
both top and bottom. 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.
Flat Position – Upper plate/cover is level with
lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates
line up to create one large cooking surface.
The Griddler is in this position when it is used
as an Open Grill or Griddle.
To adjust the Griddler 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. Push
the handle back until the cover rests flat on the
counter. The unit will stay in this position until
you lift the handle and cover to return it to the
closed position.
If the Griddler is
already in the open
position and you wish
to adjust it to the flat
position, pull the
handle slightly toward you and then lift the
hinge release lever. Push the handle back until
the cover rests in the flat position. Pulling the
handle forward slightly before lifting the hinge
release switch will take some of the pressure off
of the hinge and you will be able to adjust the
Griddler more easily.
To insert cooking plates:
Adjust the Griddler to the Flat Position
(see above) with the controls directly in front of
you. Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is
designed to fit in either the upper housing or the
lower housing of the Griddler. The word “lower”
or “upper” is embossed into each grill or griddle
plate to let you know where to attach the plate.
Pick up the lower grill/griddle plate with the cut-
outs for the heating element facing down.
If you are facing the
Griddler the drip
spout should be at
the forward right-
hand corner of the
plate. Locate the
metal brackets
at the center of the
housing. Tilt the back
end of the plate and line up the cutouts
at the back of the plate with the metal brackets.
Slide the plate underneath the brackets and
push down the front end of the plate. It will
snap into place. Turn the Griddler around and
insert the matching grill or griddle plate into the
upper housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler to
Flat Position (see
above). Locate the
plate release but-
tons on one side
of the unit. Press
firmly on button
and the plate will
pop up slightly
from the base. Grasp the plate with two hands,
slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift
it out of the base. Press on the other plate release
button to remove the other cooking plate in the
same manner.

Position drip cups:
When using
the Griddler
as a Contact
Grill or Panini
Press, only
one drip cup
is needed.
Place the cup directly below the grease spout
while cooking. Grease from the food will run off
the plates through the grease spout and into the
drip cups. Grease should be safely disposed of
after cooking. The drip cups can be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
When using the Griddler as an Open Grill or
Griddle, both drip cups should be used. Place the
cups at either end of the unit directly below the
grease spouts.
Once the Griddler is assembled properly,
plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. You
are now ready to begin cooking.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS:
Once the Griddler is assembled properly and you
are ready to begin cooking, turn the Selector to
the left to choose the Griddle function or to the
right to choose the Grill/Panini function, depend-
ing on what you intend to cook. When the knob is
turned to either function, a red indicator light will
illuminate to indicate that the power is on.
If you intend to use the Griddler as a Contact
Grill, Panini Press or Flat Grill, turn the Grill/ Panini
Control to the desired temperature for cooking.
Settings range from Warm to Sear.
If you intend to use the Griddler as a Griddle, turn
the Griddle Control to the desired
temperature for cooking. Temperature settings
range from 100°C to 230°C.
If you intend to use the Griddler as a Flat Grill
or Griddle, but you do not need the entire sur-
face, use the bottom plate.
It may take up to 10 minutes to reach operating
temperature, depending on the temperature level
that was set. When the thermostat has reached
operating temperature,a green indicator light inside
the chosen control will indicate that the Griddler is
ready for cooking. During operation, the light will
continue to turn on and off as the thermostat
regulates the temperature. This is normal.
The temperature controls are used to set and
maintain the temperature of the cooking surface.
You may vary the setting of the control knob at
any time during cooking, and may wish to do so
depending on the types of foods on the cooking
plate.
Always exercise caution when handling the
Griddler during cooking. To open the Griddler
grasp the black plastic area of the handle. This
part of the handle stays cool to the touch while
cooking. The arms are made of die-cast aluminum
and will become hot during use. Do not touch
them during or immediately following cooking.
The Griddler housing will become hot during
use. The cover is made of stainless steel and will
become very hot and should not be touched dur-
ing or immediately following cooking. If you need
to adjust the cover be sure to use an oven mitt to
prevent burns.
The lower housing is made of plastic, and while it
will become very warm it will not burn you. If you
need to move the Griddler during cooking be sure
to handle it from the base only. Do not touch the
cover.
Allow the Griddler to cool down before handling
(at least 30 minutes).
NOTE: The first time you use the Griddler, it may
have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is
normal and common to appliances with nonstick
surfaces.
The Griddler comes with a black cleaning/scrap-
ing tool.This can be used for cleaning the grill and
griddle plates after you have finished cooking and
the unit has cooled down completely (at least 30
minutes). Using the cleaning tool on a hot surface
for too long will cause the plastic to melt.
User Maintenance:
* Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch
the nonstick plates. Instead, use only wooden or
heat-proof plastic utensils.
* Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the
hot grill plates. This includes the provided
cleaning tool.
* In between recipes, scrape excess food buildup
through grease channels and into drip cups,
then wipe off any residue with a paper towel
before proceeding with next recipe.
* Allow the Griddler to cool down completely
(at least 30 minutes) before cleaning.
CLEANING AND CARE:
CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING APPLIANCE,
MAKE SURE IT HAS COOLED DOWN
COMPLETELY.
Once you have finished cooking, turn the Selector
Control to the OFF position and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down for at
least 30 minutes before handling.
Use the cleaning/scraping tool to remove any
leftover food from the cooking plate. The scraping tool
can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Dispose of grease from drip cups. The drip cups can be
cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.
Press the Plate Release Buttons to remove plates
from
the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled
completely before handling (at least 30 minutes). The
cooking plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do
not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for
cleaning. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning. The
11

nonstick coating can be damaged.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the
cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent seafood
flavor transferring to the next recipe.
The housing base, cover and control knobs can
be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough
stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner or harsh pad.
STORAGE:
Always make sure the Griddler is cool and dry
before storing.
The power cord can be wrapped around the back
of the base for storing.
One set of cooking plates should be stored in the
Griddler when not in use. The other set can be
stored in a drawer or cabinet, along with the drip
cups and scraping tool.
