cease use of the appliance and call
Breville Customer Service at
1-866-BREVILLE.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one •
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is

ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT
Your grill 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).

packaging material before use. Check that
the cooking plates are clean and free of
dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp
cloth.
To use as a Grill
Place the Panini Grill on a flat, dry surface 1.
such as a bench top.
Insert the plug into a 110/120V power 2.
outlet. The red power ‘ON’ light will
illuminate.
Turn the variable temperature control to 3.
‘High’ to heat the grill quickly.

Place meat or foods to be cooked on the 5.
bottom cooking plate. Refer to Grilling
recipes or Grilling Guide for cooking times.
NOTE:
Foods may be cooked with the top
cooking plate in the open or closed
position. Cooking with the top plate
closed will create grill marks on both
sides of the food.
Close the top cooking plate, which has a 6.
floating hinge that is designed to evenly
press down on the food.
When the food is cooked, use the handle 7.
to open the lid. Remove the food using a

Variable Temperature Control dial
The Breville Panini Grill features a Variable
Temperature Control dial which allows a
variety of foods to be cooked.
When the dial is set to 'High' the
temperature is correctly suited to grill meats
or other foods.
When the dial is set to 'Low' the
temperature is correctly suited to toasting
paninis.
Hints for grilling meat
For the best grilling results, use meat cuts
which are not too thick. The top cooking
plate should rest completely on-top of the
entire cut of meat.
Recommended Cuts
Beef Sirloin (New York), rump, rib eye,
filet.
Lamb Trim lamb leg steaks, filet, eye of
loin, cutlets and diced lamb.
Pork Butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs,
leg steaks, filet, diced pork.
Tougher cuts such as beef blade, •
topside steak, lamb forequarter or
neck chops can be used. To tenderize
these cuts, marinate them for a few
hours or overnight in a marinade with
wine or vinegar to help break down the
connective tissue.
Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will •
draw out the juices toughening the meat.
If using a marinade recipe or pre-•
marinated meats from your meat retailer,
drain excess marinade off and dab with
kitchen paper before placing on the
Panini Grill. Some marinades contain
high sugar levels, which can scorch on
the Grill plate when cooked.
Do not over cook meat; even pork is •
better served pink and juicy.
Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut •
meat while cooking. This will let the juices
escape, resulting in a tougher dry steak.
Use tongs instead.
When removing fish pieces, use a flat •
heat resistant plastic spatula to support
the food.
Pre-boiling sausages can alleviate the •
need to pierce sausages before cooking.
Using the extendable feet
Your Panini Grill features extendable feet,
which are designed to level the bottom
cooking plate when cooking foods such
as sausages. This ensures the sausages
do not roll off the grill but still drain the
maximum amount of fat while cooking.
The extendable feet are also perfect to use
while toasting paninis.
Simply flip the feet forward to level the
bottom cooking plate (fig 2), or flip the feet
backwards to angle the bottom plate.
NOTE:
Always allow the Panini Grill to
preheat until the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
Adjustable Grilling Height Control
feature
Your Panini Grill features an Adjustable
Grilling Height Control feature which
allows you to fix the top plate to a range of
positions above the bottom plate.
This allows your Panini Grill to be used to
grill delicate ingredients such as fish and
hamburger buns without squashing.
Allow the Panini Grill to preheat until the 1.
green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
Place the food to be grilled on the 2.
bottom plate.
Move the Adjustable Grilling Height 3.
Control clip on the right hand side of
the Panini Grill to the desired height
(see fig 1).
Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on 4.
the height control clip.
The top plate will radiate the desired heat 5.
to lightly grill foods.
NOTE:
The Adjustable Grilling Height
Control can be moved to
accommodate thick or thin foods
by sliding the clip forwards or
backwards along the arm.

Before cleaning, disconnect the Panini •
Grill from the power outlet.
Allow your Panini Grill to cool before •
cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
Always clean your Panini Grill after each •
use to prevent a build up of baked-on
foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft
cloth to remove food residue.
For baked-on food residue, squeeze
some warm water mixed with detergent
over the food residue then clean with a
plastic washing pad or nylon washing
brush.
The included Cleaning Spatula can
also be used to remove baked-on food
residue.
NOTE:
The cooking plates are coated with
a non-stick surface; do not use
abrasives.
Do not leave plastic cooking utensils
in contact with the Panini Grill while
cooking.
Cleaning the drip tray
Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each
use and wash the tray in warm, soapy
water. Do not use metal (or other abrasive)
cleansers or harsh detergents as they may
damage the surface.
Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft
cloth and replace.
CARE & CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI GRILL
CARE & CLEANING
your Breville Panini Grill
Quantanium scratch resistant coating
Your Panini Grill features a special scratch
resistant non-stick coating.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF
THE BREVILLE PANINI GRILL IN
WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside
the Panini Grill. Breville will not be liable for
damage to the non-stick coating where
metal utensils have been misused.
Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes
the need for oil, food does not stick and
cleaning is easier.
Any discoloration that may occur will
only detract from the appearance of the
Panini Grill and will not affect the cooking
performance.
When cleaning the non-stick coating, do
not use metal (or other abrasive) cleansers.
Wash with warm soapy water. Remove
stubborn residue with a plastic washing
pad or nylon washing brush.
