IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, DO NOT IMMERSE OR PARTIALLY
IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR APPLIANCE in
water or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, or after the appliance has
malfunctioned or has been damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest
authorized service center for examination, repair
or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may result in fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury
to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or
hang over edge of table or counter where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

10. Do not place on or near hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven or in a microwave oven.

11. Preheat the unit until the green "ready" light turns
on.

12. Unplug the unit when finished using.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Extreme caution must be exercised when moving
an appliance containing hot oil or other hot
liquids.

15. To disconnect, turn the control to the OFF setting,
then remove plug from wall outlet. Never unplug
by pulling on the cord.

16. To prevent burns or injury, exercise extreme
caution when disposing of hot grease or other hot
liquids and when removing or transporting the drip
tray as the contents may be hot.

17. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical parts

involving a risk of electrical shock.

18. Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper or other
flammable materials in or on the appliance.

19. While in operation, a fire may occur if the
appliance is covered or touching flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and
the like. Do not store or lay any item on the
appliance during operation.

20. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR

ELECTRIC SHOCK, ONLY AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL SHOULD DO REPAIRS.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Consumer Safety Information

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and
reinsert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

CAUTION

Short cord Instructions: Your Panini Press Grill and

Griddle appliance is fitted with a short power supply
cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury
or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow
children to use or be near this appliance without close
adult supervision. If an extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, (2) 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,
(3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension should be a grounding 3-wire cord.

Electrical Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electric circuit from other
appliances.

Power Indicator Light

Light will illuminate when appliance is plugged in and
mode is set on low, medium, high, or griddle. Power
indicator light will not illuminate when the mode control
is turned to ‘panini’ or to ‘off.’

Mode Control

Use this control to set the temperature for making
panini sandwiches, to select the griddle mode, and to
turn the appliance off. In panini mode, both grill/griddle
plates will be heated to Low, Medium, or High, based
on the selected setting. When the mode is set to
griddle, temperature is controlled by the two
temperature control knobs.

Dual Temperature Control

Dual controls allow you to set different temperatures for
the two grill/griddle plates. The center knob controls the
temperature of the plate on the base, and the right knob
controls the temperature of the plate on the lid. Each
plate can be adjusted independently to temperatures
from 150°F to 450°F. This is ideal when using the panini
grill/griddle in the open flat position, as it allows you to
cook different foods at different temperatures.
