HOW TO USE YOUR PANINI MAKER

elements warm up. This represents no danger to the user and does not indicate a defect in the
appliance. Allow the appliance to heat up until the odor clears.

appliance on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

Plug the appliance into a standard 120 Volt AC outlet.
•
The red light indicator will come on indicating that the unit is heating.

Use this pre-heating time to prepare your panini. When the green indicator light comes on,
place the panini on the bottom cooking plate.
Note: Always place the panini towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
•
Close the top cooking plate.
Note: The top cooking plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the panini.
Caution: The locking storage clip should not be used to clamp down the top cooking plate when the
paninis are in the panini maker. The weight of the top cooking plate will gradually press down the
sandwich during the cooking process.
•
When the panini is cooked, use the handle to open the panini press and raise the top cooking
plate. Remove the panini with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula.
Caution: Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the nonstick coating.
