Your Panini Press features an Adjustable
Toast Height Control feature which allows
you to fix the top plate to a range of positions
above the bottom plate. This allows your
Panini Press to be used as an open toaster
ideal for toasting open sandwich style
‘melts’. It can also be used for toasting
sandwiches and snacks where you don’t
need to apply the weight of the top plate.
1. Allow the Panini Press to preheat until the
green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
2. Place sandwich to be melted on
bottom plate.
3. Move the Toast Height Control clip on the
right hand side of the Panini Press to the
desired height. (See Fig 2.)
4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on
the height control clip.
5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat
to melt ingredients such as cheese.
6. Toasting ‘melts’ should take approximately
4-5 minutes. However exact toasting time
will be a matter of taste. It will also depend
on the height of the top plate.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable
power-supply cord) is to be provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord is used.
•The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and
•The cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.

the green ‘ready’ light turns on.

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on
the height control lever.
5. The top plate will produce the desired
heat to melt ingredients.
6. Toasting ‘melts’ should take approximately
3-4 minutes. Exact toasting time,
however, is a matter of taste. It will also
depend on the height of the top plate.
BEFORE USE
Remove any promotional labels and packing
materials from the Panini Press.
Slide storage lever on the right side of the
Panini Press handle backward to the open
position. Check that the cooking plates are
clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe
lightly with a damp cloth.
Make sure that the Panini Press is in the
closed position for pre-heating.
1. Place on a flat, level surface. Insert the
appliance plug into a 120V power outlet.
The red power ‘on’ light will illuminate.
2. Allow the Panini Press to pre-heat in the
closed position until the green ‘ready’
light illuminates.
3. While pre-heating, prepare the sandwich or
snack and place it onto the bottom cooking
plate. Always place sandwiches toward the
rear of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate. This plate has
a floating hinge that is designed to evenly
press down on the sandwich. (See Fig 1.)
5. Toasting should take approximately
6-10minutes. Exact toasting time is a
matter of taste. It also depends on the
type of bread and filling used.
6. When the sandwich is cooked, open the
lid. Remove it with the help of a plastic or
wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or
a knife because these utensils can
damage the non-stick coating.
The storage lever should not
be used to clamp down the top
plate when the sandwiches or
snacks are in the Panini Press. The
weight of the top cooking plate will
gradually press down the food during
the cooking process. The toast height
control can be moved to accommodate
thick or thin melts by sliding the lever
forward or backward along the arm.
Always allow the Panini Press to
pre-heat until the green ‘ready’ light
illuminates. When using the Breville
Panini Press for the first time, you may
notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused
by the heating of some of the
components. Do not be concerned.
The Toast Height Control can
be moved to accommodate
thick or thin melts by sliding
the clip forwards or
backwards along the arm.
