This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt

to defeat this safety feature.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used with care; however,

be sure the marked electrical
rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of this
appliance.

The extension cord should be positioned such that it does
not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this appliance is listed
on the bottom panel of the unit.

About Your Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker

The English translation of Panini means little breads, or rolls and is
equated with sandwiches. In the United States, Panini has come to
denote a grilled Italian sandwich.

The Panini sandwiches of today are generally made using fresh, crusty
Italian breads. Your Wolfgang Panini Maker uses the weight of the
heated upper grill plate to grill both sides at the same time. Use your
Panini Maker to prepare authentic Italian Panini’s and Cuban
sandwiches, as well as to grill poultry, meat, fish, sausages, and a
variety of other foods. Your Panini Maker is designed to sear foods
perfectly. The special hinged top plate inherent on all Panini grills
allows the grill to be used on extra thick sandwiches and food items.

Using Your Panini Maker

Your Panini Maker is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as
French, Italian, and focaccia. The top grill plate is weighted to
compress and grill a Panini to perfection in about 3 minutes
(depending on the bread, filling, and personal taste). Your Panini
Maker can also be used to grill a variety of food items, such as meats,
poultry, fish, and vegetables.

1. Preheat the grill. Close the cover and plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ

AC outlet only.

Caution: The unit is ON whenever it is

plugged in.

Both the green and red lights will turn on indicating
that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 5 minutes,
the green light will go out indicating that the appliance is
preheated and ready for use.

2. Open the lid using the black cool-touch handle only, being careful
not to touch any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates.

3. Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.

4. Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired temper­ature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close the lid
and do not lock latch on handle.

Note: The red warm-up light and green ready light are thermosta­tically controlled and will cycle during cooking to ensure that the
correct temperate is maintained.

Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.

5. Remove the food using plastic or wooden utensils only to avoid
damaging the nonstick coating. Never use metal tongs, forks, or a
knife as these can damage the nonstick surface.

6. When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the
plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely
before cleaning.
