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 5 of the Operating Instructions section entitled:
“To Use as a Contact Grill (Open Position)” described previously.
2. 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.
3. Using a potholder or oven mitt, pull down the arm and gently lower
the top grill plate. The oating hinge will automatically adjust to the
thickness of the food. Press the handle down rmly, then turn the grill
plate lock clockwise to secure. (g. 4)
4. Adjust temperature control dial as needed. During grilling, the blue
READY indicator light will cycle on and of f 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. Turn the grill plate lock counter-clock wise to unlock. Using an oven
mitt or potholder, 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.

Panini Preparation: Sandwich Assembly
To prepare delicious pressed sandwiches, follow these simple steps. It is
customary to prepare panini from a heart y 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, atbreads, 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 blue
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. 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.
4. Using a potholder or oven mitt, pull down the arm and gently lower
the top grill plate. The oating hinge will automatically adjust to the
thickness of the sandwiches. Press the handle down rmly, then turn the
grill plate lock clockwise to secure.
5. Adjust temperature control dial as needed. During grilling, the blue
READY indicator light will cycle on and of f 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.
6. Turn the grill plate lock counter-clock wise to unlock. Using an oven
mitt or potholder, grasp the handle and carefully lift the top grill plate.
Continue grilling until the bread is toasted and food is cooked to your
liking.
7. 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!
8. Allow panini to cool to a safe handling temperature before slicing.

Panini Hints for Best Results
• Turn the temperature control dial to HIGH 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, atbreads, 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 llings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try
removing the insides of soft rolls to create a cup in which lling
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 avor when using sweet llings.
• Whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads and
should be grilled at lower temperatures.
• After you have removed nished 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. The oating hinge will automatically
adjust to the thickness of the sandwiches. Press the handle down rmly,
then turn the grill plate lock clockwise to secure. Turn the temperature
control dial to LOW 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.
