Instructions for First Time Use

In order to protect the plates of your new grill during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface prior to shipment. This oil is harmless, but must be removed before you begin to use. To
remove, preheat the grill until the oil liquefies. Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth. Once all of the oil is removed, you can begin to use your grill.

Operating Instructions

Be sure power cord is properly connected to a proper source (120V, 60 Hz)
Turn the machine on using the power switch(es). The switch will light up to indicate power is available.
Set to desired temperature (heating indicator light will come on). Warm-up time is approximately 20 minutes. Heating indicator will cycle at set temperature.
When set temperature is reached, the heating indicator light will turn off. Lift top grill using black handle and lightly grease grill plates with vegetable oil. Place food on grill and lightly press handle down. Excess oil will collect in the grease collection tray. Remove food when cooked. The heating elements will automatically cycle as needed. Turn machine off when no longer needed and unplug from power source.

Timer Instructions

Note : The timer does not turn off the grills. The timer will beep continuously until the “reset” button is hit. The grills will continue to heat.

To program the timer of your panini grill, plug in and turn on the grill. Set the time using the up and down arrow buttons. To move through the time with fast scroll, hold down the up or down arrow for 3 seconds. The timer will beep twice. The timer can be set for up to 15 minutes.
After setting your time, hit the “start/stop” button to begin the timer. To pause the timer, hit the “start/stop” button.
When the timer beeps, hit the “reset” button to turn it off.
Hitting the “reset” button will return the set time to the last inputted time. To change set time, use the up/down arrows again to adjust.
