Figure 3
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.
5
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.
