20 OPERATING YOUR CATLER PRODUCT
NOTE
For best cooking results when toasting
sandwiches on the PANINI setting.
- Always place sandwiches in the
centre bottom plate.
- Toasting should take approximately
5–8 minutes. Exact toasting time will
be amatter of preference and the
type of bread and llings used. For
more tips and tricks, refer to grilling
tips (page 22) and recipes (page 30).
NOTE
The LCD screen may display HEATING
during the cooking process. This is
normal, indicating that the correct
temperature is being maintained.
11. Use the handle to close the top cooking
plate. The top cooking plate has two
features designed to produce optimum
cooking results:
a) Floating top plate. The top cooking plate
is hinged, allowing the top plate to be
positioned horizontally on the food
surface. This ensures the front of the
food is as evenly cooked as the back. It
also allows the top plate to oat above
the food surface, radiating heat to create
open sandwich style melts.
NOTE
The surfaces of the grill are hot during
and after operation. Always use the
integrated leveling support/PLATE
RELEASE on the front, right side of the
top cooking plate when adjusting the
position of the top plate.
Alternatively, use protective hot pads
or insulated oven mitts.
NOTE
Never use the leveling handle to open
the top cooking plate. Always use
the handle to open and close the top
cooking plate.
WARNING:
The levelling support may get hot
during and after operation. Always
use the levelling support as pictured.
WARNING:
Never grip the levelling support or
use it to open the top cooking plate.
Always use the grill handle to open
and close the top cooking plate.
b) Adjustable height control. This
feature reduces the weight of the top
plate on delicate foods like sh and
accommodates varying thicknesses of
food like artisan breads. Located on the
right side of the top plate, the clip xes
the top plate to arange of positions
above the bottom plate. To set the
adjustable height control, use the handle
to lift the top plate and simultaneously
move the adjustable height control
clip to the desired height. Then slowly
lower the top plate until it rests on the
adjustable height control clip.
