How to Change Preset Temperatures
The AccuSteam griddle comes with two different preset temperatures for convenient cooking. PRESET TEMP 1 is set to 375° F (190° C), and PRESET TEMP 2 is set to 400° F (205° C). If you need to change the preset temperatures to better suit your kitchen’s needs, here are the steps to follow:

- Step 3—Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the temperature as needed.
- Step 4—Once you’ve reached your desired temperature, press and hold the PRESET button of the setting you want to change (PRESET TEMP 1 or PRESET TEMP 2). The unit will then automatically shutdown to save the new setting.
- Step 5—Turn the unit back on, then press and hold the same PRESET key for 3 seconds. The new setting is ready to be used.
