Grilling Tips :

1. Never touch the grilling surface while the power is on or the cooking surface is hot.
2. Never use pots and pans on the grill surface. The grill surface was designed to cook food, not to heat pots.
3. Your Panini/Sandwich Grill as designed to prepare food, do not use it for any other purpose.
4. Never place foil or plastic on the grill surface.

Operation :

1. Before using the Panini/Sandwich Grill for the first time, it should be “burned in”. First, wash the grill surface
   with soap and water, then dry thoroughly.

2. Use non-stick spray on the surface of the plate.

3. Use the handle to raise and lower the top of the Panini/Sandwich Grill to avoid injury.

4. The grill preheats in 2-3 minutes. To preheat, simply set the desired cooking temperature and close the top.

5. Sandwiches will take between 2-5 minutes to heat through. The cooking time depends on the bread used and the ingredients on the sandwich.

6. Most of your sandwiches should be grilled at temperatures between 480°F – 540°F.

7. Use light pressure when lowering the top grill plate to assure a perfectly cooked sandwich. Excessive pressure will not speed up the cooking process and product quality may be compromised.

8. To keep the grill clean between sandwiches, simply wipe the grill surfaces with a clean, oiled paper towel.

9. To disconnect the appliance, turn controls to off and remove the plug from the outlet.

Cleaning :

** WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Allow equipment to cool before moving or cleaning to avoid injury or burns.
NOTE:** Proper maintenance plays an important part in the life span and functioning of the unit.

1. Allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the grill plates.
3. Cleaning the appliance on a daily basis is the key to keeping it in perfect working condition and prolonging its life. Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth using water and mild soap that is not abrasive. Such abrasive cleaners should not be used to clean the floor near the appliance as their fumes may deposit on the steel surfaces and damage them. If the grill is very dirty, use a synthetic scrub sponge, rinse it off with clean water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Never use direct water jets to clean the grill as this could result in water entering into the grill and damaging it.
