COOKING POSITIONS
Your griddle has 3 cooking positions that you can use which are explained below.
Closed position
This is as the name suggests, when the griddle is closed and the upper grill plates rest on the lower
grill plates. This is the position always used for preheating the griddle and cooking foods such as
chicken breasts, kebabs, fish fillets, paninis and toasted sandwiches. This can be adjusted using the
upper grill plate angle button to allow for cooking foods which are thicker.
Open position
To use the griddle in this position simply open up the griddle using the handle until the upper grill
plate locks into an upright position. This is also the position to use when adding or removing foods
to be cooked.
Flat position
To open it out into the flat position, as shown below, for either fitting the grill plates or for cooking
on both grill plates, simply open the griddle up to the open position and then press the upper grill
plate angle button which allows you to open the upper grill plate out completely flat. This allows
you to cook different foods on the separate grill plates at the same time, or to cook large amounts
of the same food.

THE CONTROL PANEL AND PROGRAMMES
Your Lakeland Griddle Control Panel Explained
1. Upper grill plate power button
2. Upper grill plate temperature control
3. Upper grill timer power button
4. Lower grill plate temperature control
5. Lower grill plate power button
6. Lower grill plate timer button
7. LCD Screen
Your Lakeland griddle has both upper and lower cooking grill plates which can be used together or
on their own. The control panel is very straightforward to use and consists of a large LCD screen in
the centre, which will display the cooking temperatures clearly for both grill plates. On either side
of this are identical controls for which the left side controls the upper grill plates and the right side
control the lower grill plates. Once the griddle is plugged in at the mains socket, you will see the
LCD screen flash blue once and beep once, both of which are a sign that the griddle is plugged in.
Upper and Lower Grill Plate Power Button
The upper and lower grill plate power buttons simply turn the upper or lower grill plates on. Once
they are turned on the LCD screen will turn blue and constantly display a flashing 150 which is the
default heat setting and so this will show every time you turn the griddle on.
Upper and Lower Grill Plate Temperature Control
The upper and lower grill plate temperature control buttons allow you to choose a heat setting
from 150c to 180c, 200c, or 220c. You can use either upper and lower grills at the same
temperature, or if cooking different foods, you can select different temperatures for the upper and
lower grill plates. Simply press the button until you reach the desired temperature and the chosen
temperature will flash constantly whilst preheating. The screen will then stop flashing and beep
once when the grill plates have reached the desired temperature.
Upper and Lower Grill Plate Timer Button
The upper and lower grill plate timer buttons allow you to set the timer for either or both of
the upper and lower grill plates from 1 minute to 30 minutes and at the end of that time, the
griddle will automatically turn itself off. The griddle can also be used without the timer being set if
preferred. Simply press the button until you have the number of minutes displayed that you want
to cook for and the griddle will do the rest.
OTHER FEATURES
Automatic Power Off
Your griddle will automatically power itself off at the end of cooking if using the timer setting and
also, after 2 hours if accidentally left turned on.

Preheating the griddle empty before use.
Once you have familiarised yourself with your griddle it is advisable to prepare the griddle and heat
the griddle up empty for the very first use. This is because it is common for the griddle to produce
some smoke on its first use which then disappears with future use.
To do this;
1. Open the griddle up by pulling the handle upwards. Remove and then wash the grill plates and
drip tray thoroughly in hot soapy water, either by hand or on the top rack of the dishwasher.
2. Ensure grill plates and drip tray are totally dry before refitting to the griddle.
3. Wipe over the outside of the griddle using a soft dry and clean cloth.
4. Close the griddle shut and turn it on by plugging it into a mains socket. You will then hear
the griddle beep once and see the LCD screen flash blue once, both of which indicate that the
griddle is plugged in. Then the LCD screen will go out.
5. Press the upper grill plate and lower grill plate power buttons on (see control panel diagram)
and the LCD screen will light up blue and automatically flash 150, which is the default heat
setting.
6. Adjust the heat levels on both the upper and lower grill plates to 220 and leave the griddle to
preheat, during which time the number 220 will flash constantly on either side to indicate it
is preheating.
7. NOTE:During theinitialuse ofthisgriddle itmay producesomesmoke whichisperfectly
normal. There is nothing to worry about and this will disappear with future use.
8. Leave the griddle to preheat for approximately 3- 4 minutes and once it has reached 220 the
LCD screen will beep and the number 220 will stop flashing and remain fixed on the screen
for both upper and lower grill plates. Your preheating of the griddle empty is now complete.
9. Press the upper and lower grill plate power buttons off and unplug the griddle from the
mains socket and leave to cool completely before using.
You are now ready to use your griddle.

How to use the Griddle
1. Make sure the griddle is shut and then connect it to the electricity supply by plugging it into
a mains socket. You will then see the LCD screen flash blue once and also beep once before
going out, both of which indicate that the griddle is plugged in.
2. Press the upper grill plate or lower grill plate (or both) power buttons on (see control panel
diagram) and the LCD screen will light up blue and flash 150. This indicates that the grill
plates are switched on and they will begin to heat up to 150C automatically.
3. To vary the cooking temperature, which ranges from 150c, 180c, 200c to 220C, and then
back down again, simply adjust the upper and lower grill plate’s temperature control button
accordingly (see control panel diagram). Whilst preheating, the temperature selected will
constantly flash on the LCD screen until it is reached.
4. When the correct temperature is reached, the flashing will stop and that temperature will
appear as a fixed number on the LCD screen to indicate that the griddle is preheated and
ready for use.

5. If you do not want to use the timer facility your griddle is now ready for cooking on.
6. If you want to use the timer, once the griddle has reached the desired temperature, the timer
can be set on both the upper and lower plates. Set the timer from 1-30 minutes, as required,
and after cooking, the griddle will automatically power itself off.
7. Use the handle to carefully lift up the upper grill plate to the open position, remembering that
they will become very hot and place your food to be cooked on the grill plate using wooden
or plastic heat resistant cooking utensils. Alternatively, open the griddle up to the flat position
andplacefoodtobecookedonbothgrillplates.CAUTION:Neverusemetalcookingutensils
with your griddle as they will damage the non-stick coating of the griddle.
8. Lower the upper grill plates over the food using the handle or alternatively, keep the griddle

before serving.
9. If cooking in the closed position, carefully lift the handle to open up the griddle, taking care
of the hot grill plates and also of any steam that may be released. Heat resistant gloves are
recommended for safety at this stage.
10. Carefully remove the cooked food using the recommended cooking utensils and if cooking is
complete, unplug the power cord from the mains socket and leave the griddle until completely
cool before cleaning.
A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS

2. In a bowl combine all of the salsa ingredients until well mixed, then season to taste and set
aside.
3. Preheat the griddle fitted with the grill plates to 220c. Thread the marinated chicken onto
8 wooden skewers. When the griddle is preheated, open up the griddle, add the chicken
skewers to the grill plates and cook in the closed position for 8-10 or until cooked through.
4. Serve the tandoori chicken kebabs in pitta breads or wraps with the mango chilli and lime
salsa to accompany them.
Cooks tip – For an even quicker marinade, why not stir 2 tbsp readymade tandoori paste into the
natural yogurt.
