About Your Wolfgang Puck
Panini Maker
and Multipurpose Grill
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.
With the purchase of the optional waffle plates or flat griddle plates, you can expand the versatility of this unit even further.
Adding and Removing Plates
Caution: Always ensure that your Panini Grill is unplugged and has completely cooled prior to removing or adding plates.

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 Completely pull out Drip Drawer prior to use. Place drip tray
underneath grease runoff so that any drippings will fall into the tray.
2 Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. Close the cover and
plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC outlet only. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 8 minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.
3 Open the lid using the black handle only, being careful not to touch
any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates. We recommend the use of oven mitts or potholders to prevent the risk of injury.
4 Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.
5 Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired temper-
ature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close the lid and do not lock latch on handle.
Note: The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct temperature is maintained.
Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.
6 When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the
plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely before cleaning.
