ELECTRIC CORD
STATEMENT
Your panini press has a short cord as a
safety precaution to prevent personal injury
or property damage resulting from pulling,
tripping or becoming entangled with the
cord. Do not allow children to be near
or use this appliance without close
adult supervision.
If you must use a longer power cord or an
extension cord when using the appliance,
the cord must be arranged so it will not
drape or hang over the edge of a
countertop, tabletop or surface area
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
To prevent electric shock, personal
injury or fire, the electrical rating of the
extension cord you use must be the same
or more than the wattage of the appliance
(wattage is marked on the underside of
the appliance).

Toasting should take approximately 5-8 5.
minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
When the panini is cooked, use the 6.
handle to open the panini press and raise
the top cooking plate. Remove the panini
with the help of a plastic or wooden
spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife
as these can cause damage to the nonstick coating.
NOTE:
Always allow the panini press to
pre-heat until the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
NOTE:
The locking storage clip should
not be used to clamp down the top
cooking plate when the paninis are
in the panini press. The weight of
the top cooking plate will gradually
press down the sandwich during the
cooking process.
NOTE:
When using the panini press for
the first time you may notice a fine
smoke haze. This is caused by the
heating of some of the components.
There is no need for concern.
THE TEMPERATURE OF
ACCESSIBLE SURFACES MAY
BE HIGH WHEN THE APPLIANCE
IS OPERATING.
FULLY UNWIND THE CORD
FROM THE CORD STORAGE
FACILITY BEFORE USE.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI PRESS
Before first use
Remove any promotional materials and
packaging materials before use. Check
that the cooking plates are clean and
free of dust. If necessary, wipe with a
soft, damp cloth.
When using the panini press for the first
time you may notice a fine smoke haze.
This is caused by the heating of some of the
components. There is no need for concern.
To use as a panini press
Insert the power plug into a 110/120 volt 1.
power outlet. The Red power ‘On’ light
will illuminate.
Allow the panini press to pre-heat with the 2.
top cooking plate in the closed position
until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
During this time, prepare the panini. When 3.
the green 'Ready' light illuminates, place
the panini onto the bottom cooking plate.
Always place panini towards the rear of
the bottom cooking plate.
Close the top cooking plate. The top 4.
cooking plate has a floating hinge that is

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
Bread
Most types of bread can be used; white,
wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain,
raisin loaf and so on. The panini press is
ideal for toasting focaccia, Turkish bread,
baguette as well as bread rolls. Raisin
bread, brioche or other sweet breads which
contain a high sugar content will tend to
brown quicker.
Filings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices
when heated. Be careful when biting into
paninis containing fillings such as cheese
and tomato or jam as they retain heat and
can burn if eaten too quickly.
Versatility
The flat bottom plate design makes the
panini press ideal for toasting plain bread
and Turkish bread without any fillings or
spreads. The flat bottom plate is also
perfect for cooking breakfast items such
as eggs and pancakes.
Fat free snacks
Due to the non-stick flat plate design,
it is not necessary to use any butter or
margarine on the outside of your toasted
snacks.
NOTE:
When using the flat bottom plate
to cook breakfast items, move the
Adjustable Height Control clip so
that the top plate floats above the
food. The top plate will radiate
heat onto the food, shortening the
cooking time.
Adjustable Height Control
Toasts or melts any bread thickness in
minutes.
NOTE:
The Adjustable Height Control
can be moved to accommodate
thick or thin melts by sliding the
clip forwards or backwards along
the arm.
TOASTING OPEN SANDWICH
'MELTS'
Your panini press has an Adjustable Height
Control feature which allows you to fix the
top plate to a range of positions above the
bottom plate. This allows your panini press
to be used as an open toaster ideal for
toasting open sandwich style ‘melts’.
It can also be used for toasting
sandwiches and snacks where you don’t
need to apply the weight of the top plate.
Open sandwich melts
Allow the panini press to pre-heat until 1.
the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
Place sandwich to be melted on 2.
bottom plate.
Move the Adjustable Height Control 3.
clip on the right hand side of the panini
press to the desired height (see Fig. 2).
Slowly lower the top plate until it rests 4.
on the Adjustable Height Control clip.
The top plate will radiate the desired 5.
heat to melt ingredients such as cheese.
Toasting ‘melts’ should take 6.
approximately 3-4 minutes. However
exact toasting time will be a matter of
taste. It will also depend on the height
of the top plate.
NOTE:
The panini press should be used
to heat sandwich fillings and deli
meats or reheat pre-cooked fillings.
Always ensure uncooked meats
are cooked before using them
as sandwich fillings in toasted
sandwiches.

Wrap the cord in the cord storage area 4.
below the appliance (See Fig 4).
The panini press can be stored upright or 5.
flat on a dry, level surface.
NOTE:
The storage clip should not be used
to clamp down the top plate when
paninis are in the panini press.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART
OF THE BREVILLE PANINI
PRESS IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.
Before cleaning, remove the plug from
the power outlet. Allow your panini press
to cool before cleaning.
The appliance is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
Always clean your panini press after
each use to prevent a build up of
baked-on foods.
Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If
cooked on food is not removed by this
method, reheat the unit for 1-2 minutes,
then brush with a little oil or melted
butter. Allow to stand for five minutes
then wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE:
The cooking plates are coated with
a non-stick surface, do not use
abrasives.
Storage
To store your panini press:
Unplug from the power outlet.1.
Allow the panini press to fully cool.2.
Slide the Adjustable Height Control clip 3.
towards the front handle to the LOCK
position so that the top and bottom
cooking plates are locked together
(See Fig 3).
