Notice

• When your Panini Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit a slight smoke or odor.
• This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

HOW TO USE

Before using the appliance for the first time, peel off any promotional materials and packaging materials, and check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe them over with a damp cloth. For best results, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil on to the non-stick plates. Spread over with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.

PREPARING YOUR Panini Maker

• Select the plates (grill plates or griddle plates) you want to use, and to ensure that they are installed.
• Close the Panini Maker and plug it into the wall outlet and the red power light will turn ON, indicating that the Panini Maker has begun preheating. At this time, you can turn the Thermostat Knob to set the temperature to your desired setting: “MIN” for lightly toasted food and “MAX” for darker toasted food. At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust the toasting level according to your preference. Different foods will also cook up differently.
• The Panini Maker will preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes to reach baking temperature, and then the green ready light will tum ON and the Panini Maker is ready for use.

COOKING

To Use as a Contact Grill

• Set the Panini Maker Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the max position. You may later adjust it according to your preference.
• Prepare the burgers, boneless pieces of meat or thin cuts of meat or other foods as directed and place them on the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods.
• When the food is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Panini Maker as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables.
• Use the Panini Maker as a contact grill when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the contact grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time. The ribbed grill plates combined with the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates.

To Use as Panini Maker – Press Grill

• Set the Panini Maker Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting about “4-6”. You may later adjust it according to your preference.
• Prepare the sandwiches as directed and place them on the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook sandwiches.
• Cook for about 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting the time to suit your own individual taste.
• When the sandwich is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the sandwich with the help of a plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cook plates.
• Use the Panini Maker to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.
• The Panini Maker was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with even results.
• When cooking more than one food item in the contact grill, it is important that the thickness of food items is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.

To Use as Open grill

• Place the Panini Maker on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The Panini Maker can be positioned in an open flat position.
• Level the upper plate/cover with the lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates will line up to create one large cooking surface. To place the Panini Maker on this position, locate the hinge release lever on the right arm.
• With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter.
• The unit will stay in this position until you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.
• Use the Panini Maker as an open grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
• Cooking on the open grill is the most versatile method of using the Panini Maker. In the open position, you have doubled the surface area for grilling.
• You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always unplug the Panini Maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when it is slightly warm.
• There is no need to disassemble Panini Maker for cleaning.
• Never immerse the Panini Maker in water or place it in the dishwasher.
• Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove any food residue. For baked on food residue, squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue and clean with a nonabrasive plastic sponge or place a wet kitchen paper towel over the grill to moisten the food residue.
• Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
• Do not use metal utensils to remove your foods, as they can damage the non-stick surface.
• Wipe the outside of the Panini Maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place in the dishwasher.
• Remove and empty the drip tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.

STORAGE

• Always unplug the Panini Maker before storing it.
• Always make sure the Panini Maker is cool, clean and dry before storing.
• The power cord can be wrapped around the bottom of the base for storing.
