Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off any promotional materials and packaging materials, and check that the cooking plates and accessories are clean and free of dust. Read entire instruction manual for a full understanding of your new appliance.

1Clean the grill, plates and the accessories (see “Cleaning and Care). It is recommended to heat up the grill for about 10 minutes without any food in order to eliminate any grease that may have adhered during the manufacturing process.

2Ventilate the room during this period. When your Panini Maker/Grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

Operation

Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking surfaces at all times while in use or when the unit is hot.

•With unit UNPLUGGED insert plates into unit (insert plates while the unit is in the 180°/ flat position).

Note: Each plate is labeled “Upper” or “Lower” on bottom of grill plates. Insert accordingly.

•With the thermostat set to “Min”, plug the appliance in. The red light will light up.

•Apply a little oil on the cooking plate. Turn the knob to desired temperature level. Preheat the grill to reach the ideal cooking temperature. When the appliance reaches the desired temperature, the green pilot light will light up.

Note: Green pilot light may turn on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to grill to perfection.

•Position the fat collecting tray near the spout on the right side of the appliance.

WARNING: THE METAL TOP COVER GETS VERY HOT. KEEP HANDS AND OTHER OBJECTS AWAY FROM IT. ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL OFF COMPLETELY FOLLOWING OPERATION (USUALLY APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES) BEFORE TOUCHING THE PLATES OR HOUSING.

Inserting/Removing Grill Plates

1Unit should be in the 180 degree/Flat position. To do this hold the handle with you left hand, press the Grill/Griddle Release Button up with your thumb and slowly move the handle back towards the counter. Ensure the appliance is off, unplugged and cool.

2Insert one plate at a time. Plates are labeled “Upper” and “Lower” and are designed to fit into those places. Insert accordingly.

3To insert the lower plate stand directly in front of the unit – the grease drip spout should be at the bottom right hand corner of the base of the unit.

4There are metal brackets at the center of the unit. Line up the cutouts located at the back of the grill plate with the metal brackets at the center of the unit. Slide the plate underneath the metal brackets and push down gently on the front of the plate (you will hear it snap into place).
