OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI PRESS

BEFORE USE

Before first use remove any promotional
labels and packing materials from the Panini
Press, fully unwind the cord from cord
storage area.
Slide storage lever on the right side of the
Panini Press handle backward to the open
position and check that the cooking plates
are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe
over with a damp cloth.
Make sure that the Panini Press is then in
the closed position for pre-heating.
1. Place on a flat, level surface. 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 6-10
minutes. 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.
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.
