How to:

Once the Panini Grill is assembled properly you are ready to begin cooking.

1 Push the center of the control knob to turn on the power, the center light ring will turn on and begin to pulse.

2 For using as a Contact Grill, Panini Press or Flat Grill, turn the control knob to the desired temperature for cooking. Once the Panini Grill reaches the desired temperature the light will remain solid.

Hint: We recommend for proper heat up temperature, pre-heat the Panini Grill in the closed position first, when the center light ring stays solid (stops pulsing), then you are ready to use the Panini Grill in either the open or the closed position.

Note: Once you have opened the Panini Grill and placed your food on the grill, the center light ring will again start to pulse, this is normal operation. The light might continue to pulse during the entire cooking time, this is just the Panini Grill keeping the proper temperature for you.

Always exercise caution when handling the Panini Grill during cooking.

•To open, grasp the center area of the handle with an oven mitt as the Panini Grill will be hot.

•Do not touch them during or immediately following cooking.

•The housing will become hot during use. The Panini Grill is made of stainless steel and will become very hot and should not be touched during or immediately following cooking. If you need to adjust the cover, be sure to use an oven mitt to prevent burns.

•If you need to move the Panini Grill during cooking, be sure to handle it from the base only with oven mitts.

•Allow the Panini Grill to cool down before handling (at least 30 minutes).

NOTE: The first time you use the Panini Grill , it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal and common to appliances with nonstick surfaces.

Care & Cleaning:

User Maintenance:

•Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch the nonstick plates. Instead, use only wooden or heat-proof plastic utensils.

•Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the hot grill plates.

•In between recipes, scrape excess food buildup through grease channels and into drip cups, then wipe off any residue with a paper towel before proceeding with next recipe.

CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE IT HAS COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY (at least 30 minutes).

Cleaning:

1Once you have finished cooking, turn the control knob to the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling.

2Dispose of grease from drip tray. The drip tray can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring pad for

cleaning. The nonstick coating can be damaged.

NOTE: If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cooking plate with lemon juice to prevent seafood flavor transferring to the next recipe.

3Wipe the housing base, cover and control knobs can be with a soft, dry cloth. For tough stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
