Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 risk of electrical shock,
do not immerse appliance, cord, or plug in
water or other liquid.
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 the appliance.
6.
Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer service number for information on
examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer for use with this model
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11.
Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product
is provided with either a polarized (one
wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized or
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or by using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not
immerse the unit in water.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not use another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the panini press.
The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the appliance.
If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a groundingtype, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over. An extension
cord should be connected to the appliance
first, before it is plugged into the outlet.
Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when
opening the panini press.
CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause
burns.

Panini Press Tips
•
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE
PANINI PRESS 6 MINUTES
BEFORE USING.
•
Read the Use and Care Guide before
using the panini press.
•
Use vegetable cooking spray for
convenient, stick-free cooking. Or if
you prefer, brush cooking surfaces
with vegetable oil before preheating.
•
Use plastic utensils on the nonstick
cooking surfaces. Do not use metal
utensils since they will damage the
nonstick surface.
•
Thicker sandwiches may shift when
being pressed. Use a plastic spatula
to reposition. Place sandwich in
center of press.
•
When a recipe calls for fruit, lock
the cover in place above the fruit so
that it heats but does not contact
the fruit.
•
There is no need to press down on
the handle. The weight of the cover
will grill the top of the sandwich.
•
Cleanup is easy! Let panini press
cool down. Wipe cooking surfaces
with damp paper towel or dish
cloth.
• Do not latch the storage latch with
anything between the grids—this
could break the storage latch.

Cleaning
1. Unplug panini press from electrical
outlet and allow to cool.
2. Wipe cooking surfaces with a paper
towel to remove drippings.
3. Use plastic spatula to scrape away
cooked-on food or grease.
4. Use a damp sponge with a small
amount of
dishwashing
detergent to
scrub cooking
surfaces. See
illustration.
Rinse out
sponge and
wipe surfaces
clean. Use a clean, damp cloth to
wipe surfaces again.
5. Do not use steel wool or any type
of abrasive cleaner to clean the
panini press, since it will damage the
nonstick cooking surface and void
the warranty.
6. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe
clean the outside of panini press.
7. The unit can be stored with the lid
latch locked,
sitting upright
on the hinge
side.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning.
Do not immerse cord, plug, or base
in water or other liquid.
