Important Safeguards

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

1 Read all instructions carefully.
2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles only.
3 To protect against risk of electric 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. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7 Never use this appliance without the drip tray in place underneath

grease spout.

8 The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the

appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

9 Do not use outdoors.

10 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

11 Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
13 This appliance is for household use only.

Save These Instructions

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.

Wolfgang Puck, owner of the famous Spago restaurants and one of

the most influential chef-restauranteurs in America, is credited with reviving
California’s rich culinary heritage. His cooking innovations, a result of
blending fresh California ingredients with his classical French techniques,
are enjoyed by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established
other trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on Main
in Santa Monica, Granita, Vert and Trattoria del Lupo. Home chefs can
also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and, of course,
through his appliances!

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 Assemble drip tray before use. Place drip tray underneath grease

spout so that any drippings will fall into the tray.

2 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 red light will go out
indicating that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.

3 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.

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

5 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.

6 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.

7 When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the plug

from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely before
cleaning.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials.
Wash the grill surfaces with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
When cleaning the nonstick grill plates, always ensure that the unit is not
plugged in.

Caution: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water.

To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging,
wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of
the appliance.

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.
