WARRANTY  
LIMITED THREE-YEAR  
WARRANTY  
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return,  
please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling  
of the product.  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You  
are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Griddler®  
Deluxe that was purchased at retail for personal,  
family or household use. Except as otherwise  
required under applicable law, this warranty is  
not available to retailers or other commercial  
purchasers or owners.  
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Griddler®  
Deluxe will be free of defects in materials and  
workmanship under normal home use for 3 years  
from the date of original purchase.  
Please pay by check or money order (California  
residents need only supply proof of purchase and  
should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instruc-  
tions).  
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling  
of any Cuisinart product that is being returned, we  
recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery  
service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for  
in-transit damage or for packages that are not  
delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are  
not covered under warranty.  
We recommend that you visit our website,  
www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to  
complete your product registration. However,  
product registration does not eliminate the need  
for the consumer to maintain the original proof  
of purchase in order to obtain the warranty  
benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of  
purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of  
this warranty will be the date of manufacture.  
Please be sure to include your return address,  
daytime phone number, description of the product  
defect, product model # (located on bottom of  
product), original date of purchase, and any other  
information pertinent to the product’s return.  
Your Cuisinart® Griddler® Deluxe has been manu-  
factured to the strictest specifications and has  
been designed for use only in 120 volt outlets and  
only with authorized accessories and replace-  
ment parts. This warranty expressly excludes any  
defects or damages caused by attempted use  
of this unit with a converter, as well as use with  
accessories, replacement parts or repair service  
other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This  
warranty does not cover any damage caused by  
accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary  
household use. This warranty excludes all inciden-  
tal or consequential damages. Some states do not  
allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages,  
so these exclusions may not apply to you. You  
may also have other rights, which vary from state  
to state.  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY  
California law provides that for In-Warranty  
Service, California residents have the option of  
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store  
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail  
store that sells Cuisinart products of the same  
type.  
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either  
repair the product, refer the consumer to an  
independent repair facility, replace the product,  
or refund the purchase price less the amount  
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage  
of the product. If the above two options do not  
result in the appropriate relief to the consumer,  
the consumer may then take the product to an  
independent repair facility if service or repair  
can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart  
and not the consumer will be responsible for  
the reasonable cost of such service, repair,  
replacement, or refund for nonconforming  
products under warranty.  
Important: If the nonconforming product is to  
be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s  
Authorized Service Center, please remind the  
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at  
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is  
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with  
the correct parts, and to ensure that the product  
is still under warranty.  
California residents may also, according to their  
preference, return nonconforming products directly  
to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement,  
by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for  
the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping  
and handling for such products under warranty.

sandwich Chart  
A sandwich is a beautiful thing - simple and comforting. Add some heat to cheese and bread and create the  
perfect lunch. Like any good meal, the perfect sandwich starts with the best ingredients that you can find.  
Use a nice hearty bread, good oil or butter, and fresh, in-season ingredients. Don't stop there, for your  
pantry probably has some great additions - roasted red peppers can add a lot of flavor to simple grilled  
chicken. Mayonnaise and mustards can do wonders. Have leftover barbequed chicken from the grill last night?  
Shred it and put it on bread. The options are endless. Place on the hot grill, press or top melt, and your  
sandwich will be ready before you can finish setting the table. The extra-large cooking surface allows you to  
make up to four sandwiches at a time.

Steak Tips  
Allow steaks to sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before grilling.  
Allow steaks to rest at 5 minutes after grilling so juices are able to redistribute before cutting.  
Otherwise all of that delicious juice will be on your plate and not in your steak.  
For the larger 2-inch steaks grill all 4 surfaces for even cooking.

RECIPES  
perfect pancakes  
This is a great all-purpose pancake recipe to have up your sleeve for breakfast  
next weekend. It can be dressed up by mixing in fresh or frozen fruit, or nuts  
and chocolate chips.  
Griddler® Deluxe Cooking Position: Flat  
Plate Side: Griddle  
Makes about twelve 4-inch pancakes  
2
large eggs  
¾
½
1
cup reduced-fat milk  
teaspoon pure vanilla extract  
cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached, all-purpose flour  
tablespoon baking powder  
1
1
tablespoon granulated sugar  
½
2
teaspoon table salt  
tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (plus more for griddle plates if desired)  
1. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the griddle plates and preheat both plates to 350°F.  
2. Put the eggs, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk to blend until smooth; reserve.  
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend.  
Add the egg/milk mixture and stir until just blended. Stir in the melted, cooled butter. Do  
not over-mix, or pancakes will be thin and tough – batter should be a bit lumpy.  
3. Using a ¼-cup measure, drop batter onto preheated griddle (if you like extra-buttery  
pancakes, put about ½ tablespoon of butter on each plate and melt before dropping batter  
on plates). Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 2 to 3 minutes; flip and cook until  
done, about 2 minutes longer.  
4. Transfer to warm plates to serve. As you finish each batch of pancakes, you can keep them  
warm on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet in a low oven (200°F). Repeat until all the  
batter is used.

8 to 10 slices challah bread, ¾-inch thick (Depending on the size of the loaf, you will find  
between 8 and 10 slices will soak up all of the batter. Should be about ¾ of a 1-pound  
loaf.)  
confectioners’ sugar for serving  
fresh fruit for serving  
1. Put the eggs, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt into a medium bowl.  
Whisk to fully combine and pour into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.  
2. Soak half of the bread in the milk mixture, turning so both sides are saturated.  
3. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the griddle plates and preheat both plates to 350°F. Once  
preheated, put the soaked bread on the hot griddle.* Cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. If all  
bread does not fit on the griddle plates at one time, soak remaining bread while first batch  
of French toast is cooking.  
4. Remove and reserve the cooked French toast in a warm oven and then repeat with  
remaining soaked bread if necessary.  
5. To serve, dust with confectioners’ sugar and top with fresh fruit and maple syrup, if desired.  
*The French toast can also be cooked in the Closed griddle position. Preheat both plates to  
350°F in the Closed position, put 2 to 4 pieces on the plate, depending on how many fit, and  
close the Griddler. Cooking time will be only about 2 to 3 minutes and you do not need to flip!  
Repeat with the remaining soaked bread.

2. In a medium to large bowl, mix the peppers, green onions, garlic, salt, egg, 1½ cups of the  
panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Dijon, Old Bay and hot sauce (if using). Add the  
crabmeat and very gently mix all of the ingredients together (it is best to do this with clean  
hands to avoid over-mixing, but you can do it with a spoon if you are careful to keep the  
crabmeat intact).  
3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into ¼-cup round cakes (no higher than ½-inch) and  
put them on a clean plate, separating the layers with wax paper. Cover with plastic and  
refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking (this helps keep the crab cakes together when cooking  
and melds the flavors).  
4. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the griddle plates and preheat both plates to 400°F. Brush the  
plates with a little vegetable oil (this will help to crisp and lightly brown the crab cakes).  
5. While the unit is preheating, lightly dredge the crab cakes in the remaining panko.  
6. When the griddle is hot, cook the crab cakes in batches, approximately 8 minutes per side.  
Crab cakes should be a deep golden brown on both sides.  
7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

slices (½-inch thick) French bread (baguette)  
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus 1 teaspoon  
pint grape tomatoes, quartered (about 1½ cups)  
teaspoon kosher salt  
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper  
small garlic cloves, chopped  
3
½
medium fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (chiffonade)  
ounce Parmesan, grated or finely shredded  
1. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 450˚F.  
2. Using 2 tablespoons of the oil, brush all the bread on both sides. Once the unit has  
preheated, put all pieces of oiled bread onto the hot plates and grill about 3 to 5 minutes  
per side, until lightly browned.  
3. While bread is grilling, prepare topping. In a small bowl, stir together the tomatoes, salt,  
pepper, garlic and basil with the remaining oil.  
4. Keeping the upper plate at 450˚F, reduce the lower plate to Warm. Move all toasted bread  
to the lower plate and distribute the tomato mixture evenly on each piece, then top with  
the Parmesan. Setting the cover height adjuster at the highest notch, close the upper plate  
until it is sitting just above the Parmesan, but not touching it. Let the bruschetta cook until  
the cheese is just melted, about 5 minutes.  
5. Serve immediately.

The all-american Burger  
Start with the best beef you can find, then simply season, grill, top with blue cheese,  
and finish cooking. The Cuisinart® Griddler® Deluxe does it all!  
Griddler® Deluxe Position: Closed

1. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 450˚F.  
2. Working the ground chuck as little as possible, mix in a large bowl with the salt, pepper and  
garlic powder. Shape into 6 patties, about 4 inches in diameter. The best way to do this is to  
use a 4-inch round cookie cutter: Divide meat equally into six portions, put each into into  
the cookie cutter and gently press to evenly fill. All burgers should be the same thickness  
for optimal results. Use your thumb to press a dimple into the center of each patty.  
3. When the unit has preheated, place the burgers on the lower grill plate, evenly spaced.  
Using the cover height adjuster, close the upper plate so the hinge is set to the position  
where the upper grill plate is just sitting on the burgers without pressing them.  
4. Contact grill for 5 minutes for rare burgers (this will result in a medium-rare burger by the  
end of cooking). Then open the unit and top with the blue cheese, ½ tablespoon per burger.  
Setting the cover height adjuster, close the upper grill plate so it is sitting over the blue  
cheese but not touching it. Grill for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is just  
melted.

1. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, zest, juice,  
sesame oil and scallion. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Allow to cook until  
mixture is reduced by about half and the liquid has become thick and syrupy – this should  
take around 20 minutes, depending on the stove being used. Set aside to cool slightly.  
2. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 400°F. While grill is  
preheating, season the salmon with the salt and brush with oil on both sides of the fish.  
3. Place the salmon on the lower grill plate, flesh side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the  
edges are cooked (interior of fish will only be cooked about halfway through at this point).  
Flip the fish and then brush with some of the reserved glaze. Using the cover height  
adjuster, carefully close the upper grill plate so the plate is just above the top of the fish, but  
not touching it. Grill until cooked through, an additional 4 to 5 minutes (flesh will flake away  
with a fork, but still be bright pink inside).  
4. With about 1 minute remaining, open the grill and brush the top of the fish with more of  
the glaze and then flip to cook an additional minute. Remove and serve immediately,  
brushing with more glaze and sprinkling with the sesame seeds.

teaspoon pure vanilla extract  
1. Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the griddle plates and preheat to 350°F.  
2. While the grill is preheating combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and  
granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend.  
3. Combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add the  
buttermilk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Do not over-mix.

bubbles form on the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes; flip and cook until done, about 3½  
minutes longer.
