THE USE OF ACCESSORY ATTACHMENTS NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER MAY CAUSE INJURIES.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Regularly inspect cord and appliance. If

damaged, immediately stop use and contact Breville Customer Service 1-866-Breville.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI PRESS

TOASTING OPEN SANDWICH ‘MELTS’

BEFORE USE, FULLY UNWIND THE CORD FROM CORD STORAGE ARE

Your Panini Press features an adjustable toast height control that allows you to fix the top plate into a range of positions above the bottom plate. You can use your Panini Press as an open toaster, ideal for toasting ‘melts.’ You can also toast sandwiches and snacks that don’t need the weight of the top plate.

1. Allow the Panini Press to pre-heat until the green ‘ready’ light turns on.

2. Place sandwich to be melted on bottom plate.

3. Move the toast height control lever on the right side of the Panini Press to desired height. (See Fig 2.)

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the height control lever.

5. The top plate will produce the desired heat to melt ingredients.

6. Toasting ‘melts’ should take approximately 3-4 minutes. Exact toasting time, however, is a matter of taste. It will also depend on the height of the top plate.

BEFORE USE

Remove any promotional labels and packing materials from the Panini Press.

Slide storage lever on the right side of the

Panini Press handle backward to the open position. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe lightly with a damp cloth.

Make sure that the Panini Press is in the

closed position for pre-heating.

1. Place on a flat, level surface. Insert the appliance plug into a 120V power outlet. The red power ‘on’ light will illuminate.

2. Allow the Panini Press to pre-heat in the closed position until the green ‘ready’ light illuminates.

3. While pre-heating, prepare the sandwich or snack and place it onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches toward the rear of the bottom cooking plate.

Fig 1.

4. Close the top cooking plate. This plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. (See Fig 1.)

5. Toasting should take approximately 6-10 minutes. Exact toasting time is a matter of taste. It also depends on the type of bread and filling used.

6. When the sandwich is cooked, open the lid. Remove it with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife because these utensils can damage the non-stick coating.

The storage lever should not be used to clamp down the top

plate when the sandwiches or snacks are in the Panini Press. The weight of the top cooking plate will gradually press down the food during the cooking process. The toast height control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin melts by sliding the lever forward or backward along the arm. Always allow the Panini Press to pre-heat until the green ‘ready’ light illuminates. When using the Breville Panini Press for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. Do not be concerned.

Your Panini Press features an Adjustable Toast 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.

1. Allow the Panini Press to preheat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

2. Place sandwich to be melted on bottom plate.

3. Move the Toast Height Control clip on the right hand side of the Panini Press to the desired height. (See Fig 2.)

Fig 2.

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the height control clip.

5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to melt ingredients such as cheese.

The Toast Height Control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin melts by sliding the clip forwards or backwards along the arm.

FULLY UNWIND THE CORD FROM THE CORD STORAGE FACILITY BEFORE USE.

6. Toasting ‘melts’ should take approximately 4-5 minutes. However exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the height of the top plate.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used.

• The marked electrical rating of the cord

set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

• The cord should be arranged so that it

will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by

children or tripped over unintentionally. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

CARE AND CLEANING

BREAD

Most types of bread can be used; white, whole wheat, cracked wheat, whole grain, raisin bread and so on. The Panini Press is ideal for toasting focaccia, pita bread, baguettes as well as rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.

Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

TOASTING BREAD

The unique flat plate design make the Panini Press ideal for toasting plain breads, and pita bread, without any fillings or spreads. Try toasting pita bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

REHEATING

If the sandwich is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven, about 100˚C (200˚F). The sandwich will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.

FAT FREE SNACKS

Due to the non-stick cooled flat plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

• Before cleaning, turn the power off at

the power outlet and then remove the plug. Allow your Panini Press to cool slightly. The unit 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.

The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.

Do not use spray-on nonstick coatings as this will effect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

TO STORE YOUR PANINI PRESS:

1. Slide the storage clip towards the front handle so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together.

2. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area below the unit. (See Fig 3.)

Fig 3.

3. Store on a flat level surface.

The storage clip should not be used to clamp down the top plate when sandwiches are in the Panini Press.

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE BREVILLE PANINI PRESS IN

WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
