SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
GROUNDED PLUG: As a safety feature, this appliance is equipped with a
grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor
may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION
CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:
AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:
- Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL possible.
- The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
- Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
- If the product is of the grounding-type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
Remove all packaging material, labels, and stickers. Ensure that no packaging
material remains on the appliance or heating elements.

FEATURES
The panini grill with reversible plates offers five functions in one
appliance.
This versatile appliance offers a wide range of possibilities: a level,
floating cover system and one set of reversible heating plates turn the panini
grill into a contact grill, a panini press, a full grill, a full griddle, or
half grill/half griddle.
The temperature control dial and indicator lights make this product easy to
use.
Removable, dishwasher-safe plates and integrated drip tray for hassle-free
cleaning.
ASSEMBLY
The panini grill features two removable heating plates. This allows you to
remove the top and bottom cooking plates separately for easy cleaning or to
reverse plate positions.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the silicone covers (provided) are inserted into
plates during the use of this appliance.
PLATE RELEASE

- Once heating plates are released, gently slide the plates off the panini grill.
- Ensure the silicone covers from the heating plates are securely placed into each plate locking cavity.
- When using the panini grill as a contact grill or sandwich press, set the adjustable height (floating hinge) to reduce the weight of the top plate on delicate foods. Also, the height can be adjusted high enough for open melts (broil).
