Operating your Breville Product

Before first use

Remove and safely discard any packaging material or promotional labels before using your panini grill for the first time.

Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

When the grill is turned on and heating for the first time, it may emit a fine smoke haze. This is due to the protective substances on the heating elements. It is safe and not detrimental to the performance of the grill.

The panini grill can be used as a grill for searing meats and vegetables or as a panini press for toasting breads and focaccia.

It also features an adjustable height control feature which allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate.

To use as a Grill

1.Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet then press the ON/OFF switch to ON.

2.Turn the variable temperature control to SEAR for fast heat up. Allow the grill to pre-heat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green READY light illuminates.

NOTE

The green READY light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

3.During this time, prepare the foods to be cooked. Refer to Grilling Guide

(page 14) or Grilling Recipes (page 19). When the grill has preheated, place the foods to be cooked onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place foods towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.

4.Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on food. The top plate must be fully lowered to achieve grill marks on the selected foods.

NOTE

Foods may be cooked with the top cooking plate in the open or closed position. Cooking with the top plate closed will create grill marks on both sides of the food.

5.Grilling times will depend on the food being cooked. Refer to Grilling Guide (page 14) or Grilling Recipes (page 19).

6.When the food is grilled, use the handle to open the grill and raise the top cooking plate. Remove food with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

NOTE

Always allow the grill to pre-heat until the green READY light illuminates.
