FLAT GRIDDLE (OPEN POSITION)

Flat griddle refers to the Sizzle Griddle position 

with the cover opened flat against the counter to 

create a spacious flat top cooking surface. Flip the 

foods you’re cooking to make sure they’re cooked 

on both sides.

All of your diner favorites 

can be cooked on the 

Sizzle Griddle. This is 

the Sizzle Griddle’s most 

versatile position—with 

both plates lying flat you 

have double the surface 

area for cooking. 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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

To get started, place Sizzle Griddle on a clean, 

flat surface.

The Sizzle 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

Lift the handle until 

the upper plate is 

perpendicular to the lower 

plate. Use this position to 

place food on the lower 

plate when using the 

appliance as an

open griddle or grill.

OPEN FLAT 

POSITION 

Top plate/cover is opened 

so that the upper and 

lower plates are level and 

create a single cooking 

surface. 

To put the Sizzle Griddle 

in the open position, 

use the hinge release 

lever on the right arm 

(See diagram to left).

Keeping one hand on the handle, use your other hand to 

pull the lever towards you. Push the handle backwards 

until the cover rests flat against the counter. The Sizzle 

Griddle will remain in this position until you lift the 

handle and return it to the closed position. 

If you want to bring your Sizzle Griddle from the open 

position to the flat position, pull the handle toward 

you with one hand and lift pull the hinge release lever 

with your other hand. Push the handle back until the 

cover rests flat against the counter. Pulling the handle 

towards you before lifting the hinge release lever will 

take pressure off the hinge.
