About Your Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker

The English translation of Panini means little breads, or rolls and is equated with sandwiches. In the United States, Panini has come to denote a grilled Italian sandwich.

The Panini sandwiches of today are generally made using fresh, crusty Italian breads. Your Wolfgang Panini Maker uses the weight of the heated upper grill plate to grill both sides at the same time. Use your Panini Maker to prepare authentic Italian Panini’s and Cuban sandwiches, as well as to grill poultry, meat, fish, sausages, and a variety of other foods. Your Panini Maker is designed to sear foods perfectly. The special hinged top plate inherent on all Panini grills allows the grill to be used on extra thick sandwiches and food items.

Using Your Panini Maker

Your Panini Maker is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as French, Italian, and focaccia. The top grill plate is weighted to compress and grill a Panini to perfection in about 3 minutes (depending on the bread, filling, and personal taste). Your Panini Maker can also be used to grill a variety of food items, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables.

1.Preheat the grill. Close the cover and plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC outlet only. Caution: The unit is ON whenever it is plugged in. Both the green and red lights will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 5 minutes, the green light will go out indicating that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.

2.Open the lid using the black cool-touch handle only, being careful not to touch any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates.

3.Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.

4.Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired temper- ature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close the lid and do not lock latch on handle.

Note: The red warm-up light and green ready light are thermosta- tically controlled and will cycle during cooking to ensure that the correct temperate is maintained.

Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.

5.Remove the food using plastic or wooden utensils only to avoid damaging the nonstick coating. Never use metal tongs, forks, or a knife as these can damage the nonstick surface.

6.When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely before cleaning.
