A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer 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.

Do not modify the plug in any way.

Your new Cuisinart® Griddler™ Panini & Sandwich Press lets you make authentic panini at home. The secret is the adjustable floating hinge that keeps the upper plate parallel to the lower plate, moving it up or down to press the panini as it cooks. A preset temperature ensures every panini you grill will be crisp, golden brown, and delicious!

PANINI PRESS
Use your Griddler™ Panini & Sandwich Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word “panini” is an Italian term for grilled sandwiches. Panini can include a combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of freshly baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the filling. Experiment with a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using freshly baked bread to produce the best-tasting panini. Popular breads for panini are focaccia, michette, ciabatta, and thick slices of Italian bread.

the sandwich to your liking. |

When cooking two or more panini, it is |

important that the thickness of all |

sandwiches is the same so the cover |
will close evenly on the panini.

Always exercise caution when handling the Griddler™ Panini & Sandwich Press during cooking. To open the Griddler™ Panini & Sandwich Press grasp the black plastic area of the handle. This part of the handle stays cool to the touch while cooking. The arms are made of die-cast
aluminum and will become hot during use. Do not touch them during or immediately following cooking.
