HOW TO USE
Grilling
1. Place your Panini Grill on a flat dry surface close to a 120 volt
wall outlet.
2. Close the Grill and plug into a 120 volt A.C. outlet, the Red ‘Power’ Light
will illuminate. As soon as the Grill is plugged into the wall outlet it will
start to heat up. When the Green ‘Ready’ Light comes on, the Grill has
reached the correct temperature to start cooking.
3. Open the Grill and place sandwich on the Bottom Grill Plate. Close the Lid
and press down gently. The Floating Hinge will adjust to the height of
the sandwich and the weight of the Top Grill Plate will gradually and
evenly press the sandwich down during cooking. NOTE: The Green
‘Ready’ Light will turn on and off as the Grill cycles to keep the correct
cooking temperature.
4. DO NOT lock the Locking Tab during cooking. This Locking Tab is for
storage only
5. Grill until food is done to your taste. The toasting time will depend on
the type and thickness of bread and personal taste. Check doneness
during toasting by lifting the Top Plate by the Handle. NOTE: Check
the progress about every 2 minutes as the food is cooking rapidly from
both the top and bottom. NOTE: All parts of the Grill, except the Handle,
will be very hot during and after toasting. DO NOT touch any parts of the
Grill except the Handle until the unit cools.
IMPORTANT:
• Steam may escape from around the edges. Use oven mitts when
opening and closing the Grill.
•DO NOT cut food on the non-stick Grill Plates.
6. When toasting is complete, lift the Top Cooking Plate by the Handle and
remove the sandwich using a plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils as
they may scratch the non-stick cooking plates
7. When finished grilling, unplug the Grill and remove the food.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave empty Grill plugged in.

HELPFUL GRILLING HINTS
1. Always preheat the Grill until the Green ‘Ready’ Light illuminates.
2. It is not necessary to use butter or margarine on the outside of sandwiches
although a thin coating of butter or margarine on the outer surfaces of
the bread will speed up browning and enhance flavour.
3. Most types of bread can be used. Breads with a high sugar content will
brown more quickly.
4. DO NOT use fresh fruit in fillings.
5. DO NOT use the Locking Clip while cooking.
6. DO NOT use non-stick cooking sprays.
7. Sandwich filling can get very hot. Be careful when biting into sandwiches.
CARE AND CLEANING

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The
extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
