OPERATING yOUR BREvILLE PROdUCTBEfORE fIRST USERemove 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 GRILL1. 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.
