Your panini grill/griddle offers a number of cooking
options to meet your needs. It can be used in the
closed position as a panini press and contact grill or in
the open flat position as a griddle or table-top grill. In
either cooking position, you can use either side of the
grill/griddle plates – smooth or ribbed. You can also mix
and match the grill/griddle plates for even greater
flexibility in food preparation.

level of Low, Medium, or High. This will control the
temperature of both the top and bottom plates.
