BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging materials, promotional
labels and stickers from your Grill & Griddle.
Make sure all parts (see Parts & Features)
of your GreenPan Grill & Griddle have
been included before discarding packaging
materials.
Before your first use, wipe the base, cover and
controls of your GreenPan Grill & Griddle with
a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean the ceramic
nonstick plates and drip tray. The ceramic
nonstick plates and drip tray are dishwasher
safe. For information on plate removal, see
Assembly Instructions.
ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
To get started, place Grill & Griddle on a clean,
flat surface. The Grill & Griddle has three
different positions:
CLOSED POSITION –
Top plate/cover rests flat
on lower plate/base. This
is the standard starting and
heating position for the
contact griddle or panini
press functions.
OPEN POSITION –
Top plate/cover is open.
Open the cover to this
position before using
the Grill & Griddle as a
contact griddle or a panini
press.
To adjust the Grill &
Griddle into the open
position, lift the handle until you feel it move
to a steady position. The griddle will remain in
the steady position until you close the cover or
move it to the flat open griddle position.
The top plate/cover will stay in an upright
position until you lower the handle for cooking.
When you lower the handle for cooking the
hinge will self-release to allow the top plate/
cover to lie flat on your food and ensure total
contact and cook your food evenly.
The cover will remain parallel with the lower
plate when you lift the handle to open the Grill
& Griddle after cooking.
FLAT POSITION –
Top plate/cover is opened
so that the top and lower
plates are level and create
a single cooking surface.
When opening the cover

to the flat position, hold onto the handle until
the grill touches the countertop.
INSTALLING COOKING PLATES
Put the Grill & Griddle in the flat position. Insert
each plate individually.
Find the metal holding brackets at the center of
the housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and
line up the cutouts with the metal brackets. Slide
the plate beneath the brackets and push down
on the front end of the plate. You should hear it
snap into place. Turn the Grill & Griddle 180°
and install the matching plate into the upper
housing the same way.
NOTE: The Grill & Griddle offers a variety
of cooking options using removable cooking
plates. If your model includes waffle plates,
simply unplug the Grill & Griddle, let it cool,
remove the griddle plates and install the plates
of your choosing.
REMOVING COOKING PLATES
Put your Grill & Griddle in the flat position. Find
the plate release buttons on one side. Press one
button firmly and the cooking plate will pop up
from the base. Grab the cooking plate with both
hands, slide it from under the metal brackets and
lift from the base. Press on the other button to
release the other cooking plate the same way.
DRIP TRAY
Excess grease and fats from your food will
run off the cooking plates, through the grease
spout and into the drip tray. Dispose of grease
and fats safely after cooking. The drip tray is
dishwasher safe.
OPERATION
Once your Grill & Griddle is properly
assembled, plug the cord into a standard
electrical outlet and you will be ready to get
cooking.
The LED will illuminate with OFF, just to show
there is power to the Grill & Griddle, but no
cooking function is selected yet.
Put your Grill & Griddle in the preferred
cooking position and use the temperature
control to choose your cooking temperature.
Settings range from Low (175°F) to Sear
(450°F).
If you wish to use the Grill & Griddle in the flat
position but you do not need the entire surface,
it is recommended that you use the bottom
plate.
To start using your Grill & Griddle, press the
function of which plate(s) you will need, both
upper or lower. Default timer and temperature
will appear on the LED display. Turn the dial
to adjust your temperature. To adjust your
countdown timer, push the dial in, and turn the
dial to select the number of minutes. Press the
start button, and you will notice the LED screen
will display Pre. Once it’s done preheating,
it will beep five times and temperature and
time will flash on the LED display. Press start
and add your food to the plate(s). (Note: If the
start button is not pressed within 15 seconds
of setting time and temperature, the Grill &
Griddle will go into standby mode and OFF
will appear on the display.)
When the countdown timer runs out, the Grill
& Griddle will beep again five times and the
LED screen will display done. Press the Cancel
button at any time to stop cooking, and the LED
screen will display OFF.
As the Grill & Griddle will become hot during
use, always use caution when operating the
Grill & Griddle. Always use the front handle
to open the Grill & Griddle, as this part of the
handle is designed to stay cool to the touch
while cooking. The top cover will become hot
during use—
DO NOT TOUCH THE COVER OR
ARMS DURING OR IMMEDIATELY
AFTER COOKING
The top cover should not be touched during or
immediately after cooking. Use an oven mitt if
you need to adjust the cover to prevent burns.
The base of the Grill & Griddle will become
warm, but it will not burn you. If you need to
move the Grill & Griddle for any reason during
cooking, handle it from the base only.
Allow the Grill & Griddle to cool before
handling (at least 30 minutes).
NOTE: During first use, the Grill & Griddle
may have a slight odor and it may smoke
a little. This is perfectly normal and will
disappear with use.

EXPLORE NEW
CULINARY
TERRITORY
The Grill & Griddle delivers ultimate versatility
with six different cooking modes. Use it as a
contact grill, contact griddle, panini press, open
grill,
or open griddle, or grill on one side and
griddle on the other. See Assembly Instructions
and Operating Instructions for additional
information on use.
CONTACT GRIDDLE (CLOSED POSITION)
Perfect for sausages, boneless chicken and
veggies, the contact griddle saves time because
you’re griddling both sides of your food at once.
The Grill & Griddle was designed with
convenience in mind, so our handle and hinge
let the cover adjust to your food so you get total
contact. Evenly griddle everything from thin hash
browns to a thick steak. When cooking multiple
items, it’s important to take the thickness of your
food into consideration. Make sure your food
is a consistent thickness so the cover will close
evenly.
CONTACT GRILL (CLOSED POSITION)
Get classic sear marks faster with the closed
grill position. Utilizing two grill plates, you
can get classic grill flavor in half the time. Just
put your food in and close the grill to cook
both sides at the same time. That means faster
burgers, steaks, pork chops, and so much more.
Always consider the thickness of your food
before using this mode. Keeping your food to
the same thickness will ensure it all cooks evenly.
PANINI PRESS (CLOSED POSITION)
Crispy paninis and wraps are easy with the Grill
& Griddle.
The Grill & Griddle is designed with a self-
adjusting handle and hinge that lets you cover
your sandwich or wrap completely so it cooks
evenly. You can apply light pressure to the
handle to press your food to your liking.
Remember to take the thickness of your
sandwiches into consideration when cooking
so the cover will close evenly.
FLAT GRILL (OPEN POSITION)
Bring outdoor flavor inside with the flat grill
position. Just open the cover flat against the
counter. This position utilizes two grill plates to
deliver a full-sized healthy ceramic nonstick grill.
Sear a classic steak, make a juicy burger, and
make hot dogs for the kids all on the same device.
The extra room and easy to clean grill plates
make getting the perfect sear marks effortless.
FLAT GRIDDLE (OPEN POSITION)
Flat griddle refers to using both griddle plates
with the cover flat against the counter to create
a spacious flat top cooking surface. This setting
is perfect for a huge array of options, including
classics like French toast and pancakes to
everyday cooking like chicken and veggies.
All your favorites can be cooked on the Grill &
Griddle. With both plates lying flat, you have
double the surface area for griddling. You can
also cook different foods at the same time on
separate plates without worrying about combining
their flavors. The flat griddle position also allows
you to cook food of varying thicknesses at the
same time.
MIXED GRILL & GRIDDLE
(OPEN POSITION) Mix it up for your meal with both
grill and griddle plates in the open position. This
mode lets you optimize your time in the kitchen.
Grill breakfast sausage and make eggs at the
same time, grill meats while searing veggies, Fish
and chips, fajitas…the options are endless.
This is the Grill & Griddle’s most versatile
position—heat the plates to different temperatures
to make sure your griddle and your grill are ideal
for your meal. You can sear on the grill, then
finish on the griddle plate to get maximum flavor.
Like the flat griddle position, this position lets you
cook a variety of foods with different thicknesses.
Waffle - Available on some models
(CLOSED POSITION)
To use your Grill & Griddle to makes waffles,
insert the top and bottom waffle plates. Select
both plates for your heating option, and set
the temperature to 400 degrees. Each cycle
should take about 3-4 minutes. Adjust time
and/or temperature according to your cooking
preference.

Cheeseburgers Grill Closed Same as above, but once the burgers are nearly cooked, with about 1.5 mins
remaining, carefully open upper plate, place a piece of cheese on top of the
burgers, and move the upper plate so that it’s right above the cheeseburger, but
not touching it. Cook until cheese is just melted.
Sausages
(uncooked) Grill or Griddle Both 450˚F. Put the links on the preheated grill/griddle plates—the grill ribs are perfect for holding the links in plate and allow for easy turning for even
cooking. Grill for about 5 mins per side in the Open position or about 12 mins
(turning halfway through) in the Closed position, depending on the thickness of
the sausages.
Panini Grill or
Griddle Closed Preheat both plates to 350˚F. Put the prepared sandwiches on the preheated lower grill/griddle plates. Close the top. Cook sandwiches for about 4 to 6 mins

adjust adjuster, close the upper plate until it is sitting right above the top of the
sandwich, not touching it. Cook sandwich and cheese on top is fully melted and
lightly browned.
Quesadillas Grill or
Griddle Closed Preheat both plates to 400˚F. Put the prepared quesadilla on the preheated lower plate. Close the top and using the cover height adjuster, set the upper
plate so it is just sitting on top of the quesadillas. Grill for about 2 to 3 mins,
depending on the thickness and filling of the quesadillas.

2 to 3 mins.
Steak & Eggs Grill and
Griddle Open Preheat lower plate to 350˚F; upper plate to 450˚F. Put the seasoned steak(s) on the preheated upper grill plate. Grill for about 4 to 6 mins per side, depending
on thickness and desired doneness. After flipping steak(s) to cook the second
side, add the eggs to the preheated griddle plate and cook for 2 to 3 mins per
side. At that time, the steaks should be done as well.
Vegetables Grill Both 400˚F. Grill until tender. This will vary depending on the types of vegetables
used, but should take between 20 and 30 mins.
Pizza Grill Closed Grill dough on SEAR with the unit closed. Then let the temperature revert to
450˚F. Open to add toppings and using the cover height adjuster, close the
upper plate until it’s sitting above the top of the pizza, but not touching it. Cook
until cheese/toppings are melted and browned, 10 to 15 mins.
