PANINI GRILL
Intended Use
This Panini Grill is intended for toasting small bread
rolls and sandwiches or for grilling other foodstuffs.
It is intended for domestic use only, it is not intended
for use in commercial applications.
Safety instructions
How to avoid the risks of an
electrical shock
• The Panini Maker may only be used in dry rooms
indoors. Protect the appliance from spray water
– even when it is switched off.
• Use the appliance only if the local mains voltage
complies with the rated voltage of the appliance.
• Do not connect the appliance to a multiple con-
nection power socket on which other electrical
devices are operating at the same time; this could
lead to an overload of the power circuit.
• Switch the appliance off after every use.
Additionally, disconnect the power plug.
• When cleaning, ensure that water cannot permeate
into the appliance. NEVER clean the appliance
under running water.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
• Protect the power cable from damage. Be careful
not to pinch/squeeze it, and keep it away from
hot objects. Do not allow the power cable to
hang freely from a table or workcounter.
• NEVER open the housing of the appliance.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Repairs may only be carried out by experienced
specialists or workshops authorised to do so by
the manufacturer.
How to avoid the risk of fire and
injury
• Place your Panini Maker on a flat, non-slip and
heat-resistant surface and not on or close to other
appliances that could emit a significant level of
heat (e.g. toasters, kitchen ovens).
• Do not operate the appliance close to easily
flammable objects, such as curtains or next to
rolls of paper towels.
Even when used properly, some parts of the
appliance become very hot (such as the top
and bottom housing plates). After switching the
appliance off, take care not to touch these sur-
faces until they have cooled down completely.
• To avoid a dangerous overheating, ALWAYS
unwind the full length of the power cable.
• During use, the Panini Maker can be opened and
closed without risk by using the heat-insulated grip.
• This appliance is not intended for use by indivi-
duals (including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not operate this appliance by means of an
external time switch or a separate remote control
system.
• After switching it off, allow the appliance to cool
completely before cleaning and storing it.
You can thus prevent the appliance
from being damaged
• To avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the
Sandwich Maker, remove your cooked foods
only with a plastic or wooden spatula or some
other suitable, non-metallic implement.
• For the same reason, do not use abrasive cleaners
and sharp objects to clean the appliance.

Commissioning
1. Take the appliance out of the packaging. Remove
all additional transport packing, e.g. plastic wrap
or cable holders.
2. Before the first usage, check that all items have
been delivered and there are no visible damages.
3. Read these operating instructions carefully.
4. Set up the appliance according to the safety
instructions.
5. Open the safety lock 4 .
6. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth as de-
scribed in "Cleaning and Care".
7. Close the appliance.
8. Insert the plug into a power socket and allow the
appliance to heat up at its maximum temperature
setting for approx. 5 minutes.
Note:
Due to manufacturing residues, this initial heating up
could result in a light production of odour and smoke.
This is completely normal and is not dangerous.
Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open
a window.
9. After being heated up, remove the plug from
the wall socket and allow the appliance to
cool down.
10. Clean the appliance once more with a damp
cloth.
Operation
1. Close the appliance lid at the grip 6.
2. Push the grease catchment tray 7into the app-
liance.
3. Insert the power plug into a wall power socket.
The red control lamp “Power” 2glows.

4. Select the desired level with the heating level se-
lector 1. As soon as the selected heating level
has been reached, the green control lamp “Rea-
dy” 5glows.
Note:
The green control lamp „Ready“ 5also lights up
when the heat level regulator 1is at position „0“.
As soon as you have set the heat level regulator 1
to the required position, the green control lamp
“Ready” 5will go off until the desired temperature
has been attained.
Note:
The green control lamp “Ready” 5can repeatedly
switch itself off. This means that the programmed
temperature has fallen, and the appliance is auto-
matically heating itself up again!
5. Open the appliance lid and place the foodstuff
to be toasted/grilled on the lower hotplate 9.
6. Close the appliance lid. Due to the positioning
of the upper hotplate 9being variable, even
with thick items it is always parallel to the lower
hotplate 9. This ensures an optimal cooking result.
7. After a short period check the browning of the
foodstuff. To do this, open the appliance lid.
Note:
Start with short cooking times and expand on them
until you have discovered the ideal duration.
8. When you are satisfied with the browning, open
the lid and remove the foodstuff.
Warning:
Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the
foodstuff. They could damage the surfaces of the
hotplates 9!
9. Turn the heat level regulator 1to “0” and
remove the plug from the power socket.
Warning:
When the appliance is not in use, always remove
the plug from the power socket. It is not sufficient
to simply place the heat level regulator 1 in the
position “0”!
Tips and Tricks
• To make meat softer and to speed up grilling, it
can be marinaded beforehand. Suitable as the
basis for this are, for example, sour cream, red
wine, vinegar, buttermilk, or the fresh juice from
papayas or pineapples. Subject to taste, add
herbs and spices. Do not add salt, salt extracts
water from the meat and makes it hard. Place
the meat in the marinade so that it is completely
covered and then close the receptacle. It is best
to let it stand overnight.
• The hotplates 9are non-stick coated, thus extra
fat is not needed. Should you nonetheless wish
to use extra fat, take note that "light" margarines
and various vegetable oils are not suitable for
grilling. Amongst these are cold-pressed olive oil
and thistle, flax, wheatgerm, maizecorn, sesame,
walnut and hazelnut oils. Use these oils only for
cold dishes. For grilling you can use for example
butter, pork fat, margarine or ghee (butterfat).
• If you are not sure if the foodstuff is cooked in
the middle, use a standard commercial meat
thermometer.

Cleaning and Care
Important!
Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket
and wait until the appliance has cooled down com-
pletely. Risk of injury!
Important!
Never clean the appliance under running water,
and never submerge it in water. The appliance
could be irreparably damaged!
• Draw the cleaning scraper 0, after the hotpla-
tes 9have cooled, over the hot plates 9so
that the fat and other residues are gathered to-
gether so that you can better remove it.
• Wipe the hotplates 9with a moist cloth. For
stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the
cloth. To avoid destroying the non-stick coating,
do not use aggressive detergents, rough spon-
ges or sharp objects.
• It is best to lay a wet dish cloth on encrusted re-
sidues in order to soften them.
A damp cloth is also sufficient for cleaning the outer
surfaces of the appliance.
Be sure to allow all parts to dry completely before
using the Panini Maker again.
Wipe the cleaning scraper 0with a moist cloth.
For stubborn soiling, apply a mild detergent to the
cloth.
Storage
Store the cleaned appliance at a dry location.
Close the safety lock 4 .
Wrap the power cable 3around the cable retainers
on the underside of the appliance.
