OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Panini Grill may be used in the open or the closed position. Cook burgers, boneless,
thin pieces of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables easily. The non-stick grill plates and drip tray
make cleanup a snap.
TO USE AS A CONTACT GRILL (OPEN POSITION)
NOTE: When your Panini Grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor.
This is normal and should disappear after one or two uses. This does not affect the safety
of the appliance.
1. Check to make sure that the cord is fully unwrapped and does not come in contact
with any exterior parts of the unit. Plug unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet.
The red POWER light will illuminate and remain lighted during use.
2. Slide the grill plate lock on the side of the handle to the OPEN position. (See Figure 3.)
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the MAX setting to preheat. Operate the unit
in the closed position during preheat.
4. While preheating, prepare food for cooking. After approximately 2 minutes,
the green READY light will illuminate, indicating the unit is preheated and is ready for use.
5. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, grasp the handle to hold the top grill plate open when
placing or removing food on the cooking surface to prevent accidental closing and injury.
6. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, center food on the bottom grill plate.
7. Adjust temperature control dial as needed; continue cooking on the open grill until food
is done. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF. Remove the plug from the wall outlet.
TO USE AS A PRESS GRILL (CLOSED POSITION)
NOTE: When cooking more than one piece of food, prepare so that the thickness of food
items is consistent. This will allow food to cook quickly, evenly and produces rich grill marks
both top and bottom.
1. Follow steps 1 through 6 of the Operating Instructions section entitled:
“To Use as a Contact Grill (Open Position)” described previously.
2. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, pull down the arm and gently lower the top grill plate.
The floating hinge will automatically adjust to the thickness of the food.
3. To ensure perfectly grilled food, look to make sure that the top grill plate lies evenly
on the top of the food. Make sure food is centered on the grill plate. If desired,
press the handle down several times while cooking.
4. Adjust temperature control dial as needed. During grilling, the green READY indicator light
will cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining
the proper cooking temperature.
NOTE: The raised ridges and tilted bottom plate allow grease, fat and other drippings
to run off away from your food and into the drip tray.
5. Using an oven mitt or pot holder, grasp the handle and carefully lift the top grill plate.
Always use a plastic or wooden spatula to remove cooked food. Test food for doneness.
Grill until the food is cooked to your liking.
WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface
of the grill plates.
CAUTION: Do not leave appliance unattended during use!
6. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF. Remove the plug from the wall outlet.

PANINI PREPARATION: SANDWICH ASSEMBLY
To prepare delicious pressed sandwiches, follow these simple steps. It is customary to prepare
panini from a hearty loaf of bread. However, panini made from store-bought sliced breads
or rolls can be delicious and simple to prepare. Experiment with a variety of breads, tortillas,
flatbreads, even pitas. For health-conscious cooks, the non-stick coating of the grill plates
assures crisp and delicious toasting without the use of oil or butter. The raised ridges
and tilted bottom plate allow grease, fat and other drippings to run off away from your food
and into the drip tray.
1. Assemble panini. Brush or wipe both sides of the outside of the sandwich with olive oil,
butter or margarine (optional). When the green READY light illuminates,
the Panini Grill is ready to use.
2. Follow steps 1 through 5 of the Operating Instructions section entitled:
“To Use as a Contact Grill (Open Position)” described previously.
3. Center panini, oiled side down, on the bottom grill plate.
4. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, pull down the arm and gently lower the top grill plate.
The floating hinge will automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwiches.
5. To ensure perfectly grilled panini, all sandwiches placed on the Panini Grill at the same
time must be the same thickness. Look to make sure that the top grill plate lies evenly
on the top of the bread. Make sure sandwiches are centered on the grill plate. If desired,
press the handle down several times while cooking.
6. Adjust temperature control dial as needed. During grilling, the green READY indicator light
will cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining
the proper cooking temperature.
NOTE: The raised ridges and tilted bottom plate allow cheese, fat, and other drippings
to run off away from your panini and into the drip tray.
7. Using an oven mitt or pot holder, grasp the handle and carefully lift the top grill plate.
Continue grilling until the bread is toasted and food is cooked to your liking.
8. To remove your grilled panini sandwiches, always use a plastic or wooden spatula.
WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface
of the grill plates.
CAUTION: Do not leave appliance unattended during use!
9. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF. Remove the plug from the wall outlet.
10. Allow panini to cool to a safe handling temperature before slicing.

PANINI HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Turn the temperature control dial to MAX to preheat the Panini Grill before each use.
• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.
• A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, rye, fruit breads, tortillas,
flatbreads, even pitas.
• With the Panini Grill’s non-stick grill plates, it is not necessary to butter or oil the outside
of the bread. However, spreading a small amount of butter or olive oil is recommended
to encourage even browning of the bread.
•NOTE: The Panini Grill is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use non-stick sprays
as they can cause build-up on the grill plates. Use olive oil instead.
•WARNING: Do not use non-fat spreads. They may burn and damage the non-stick
grill plates.
• When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try removing the insides
of soft rolls to create a cup in which filling can be added.
• Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. If the recipe calls for canned fruit,
drain and pat fruit dry with a clean paper towel.
• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.
• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini crispier
and adds flavor when using sweet fillings.
• Whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads and should be grilled
at lower temperatures.
• After you have removed finished panini, close the top grill plate to retain heat while
assembling more sandwiches.
• Use the Panini Grill to keep food warm. Place grilled sandwiches onto the grill,
lower the top grill plate. Turn the temperature control dial to MIN or to a lower setting
before serving.
• To avoid food contamination, wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel
to wipe the grill plates clean after each use.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: Unplug from electrical outlet and allow to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Never immerse appliance in water or other liquids. Never place Panini Grill or drip tray
in dishwasher.
2. The grill plates should be wiped clean, and if necessary, conditioned before heating.
3. To condition plates: pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the non-stick grill plates.
Spread with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil. Recondition
after cleaning or as needed.
4. To protect the premium quality non-stick grill plates: use only plastic, nylon
or wooden utensils.
5. Inside cleaning: remove stubborn stains with a plastic mesh puff or pad, then wipe off
with a paper towel or soft cloth. For best results, use only products with directions
stating that it is safe for cleaning non-stick cooking surfaces. Do not use steel wool
or coarse scouring pads. Allow the run off to drip into the drip tray.
6. Pull drip tray out and away from the front of the Panini Grill. Empty the drip tray
and clean with warm soapy water. Wipe dry.
7. The exterior finish should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft, damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly.
8. Make sure to hold the top grill plate open while cleaning to prevent accidental closing
or injury.
STORAGE
1. Make sure unit is unplugged and fully cooled.
2. Attach clean drip tray to the unit.
3. Lower top grill plate. Slide the grill plate lock located on the side of the handle
to the LOC position. (See Figure 3.) Store the Panini Grill in the locked position
for neat and compact storage.
4. Store the cord on the bottom of the Grill by wrapping it around the back 2 legs
and the central hub. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could
cause the cord to fray and break.
