Operation
Your Panini Sandwich Grill should be turned on prior to usage to allow the cooking surface to warm up; 5 minutes is sufficient for preheating.
To get efficient use out of this unit while in intermittent use, it is recommended that the grill plates remain closed and that the thermostat is turned down, when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for quicker heat response when needed.
Cecilware recommends that the cooking surface be lightly greased before each use.
A temperature setting of between 390ºF and 430ºF will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for particular food types, individual needs, or experience.
Simply place the food product on the bottom grilling surface, lower the top plate down, and cook to your needs.
