Page 10: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE Read and remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the panini grill except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit. Be sure that all accessories are accounted for before throwing away any packaging. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any packaging residue. - Page 11 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO INSERT THE COOKING PLATES The cooking plates are removable, reversible, and interchangeable, so each plate can be inserted on either side of the unit. To insert the plates: Orient the unit with its control panel facing you. Open the unit 180° to its flat position by sliding the hinge release lever forward with your right hand and simultaneously pulling the handle up and back with your left hand until it rests flat on the counter.
- Page 12 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO REMOVE THE COOKING PLATES Make sure the panini grill is completely cooled and opened 180° to its flat position. (Slide the hinge release lever forward while pulling the handle up and back.) Orient the unit with its control panel facing you. Press the plate eject button on the side of the base to release the first cooking plate.
- Page 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Press the POWER button. The unit will beep and the button will illuminate red. NOTE: When using the panini grill for the first time, a slight odor or smoking might occur. This is normal and will dissipate with use. Use the default temperature (400°F) or adjust the temperature by turning the knob.
- Page 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS When the timer ends, the unit will beep three times and automatically turn off. If you're not using the timer, you can cook for up to 60 minutes, at which point the unit will automatically turn off. When cooking is finished, open the lid and carefully remove the food using a silicone or wooden spatula or tongs.
- Page 15 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO COOK WITH OPEN PLATES The panini grill opens 180° to create one large, flat cooking surface that works just like a grill, griddle, or half grill/half griddle. It’s great when cooking larger quantities of the same food for a crowd, or when making different foods at once without mixing the flavors.
- Page 16 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If you’d like to cook additional batches, brush away any crumbs or food residue left on the plates first. If using the timer, re-set the temperature, preheat the grill, place food, and re-set the timer as you did for the first batch. NOTE: The preheat time will be shorter on the second and subsequent batches because the unit is already hot.

Page 17: Cooking Tips
COOKING TIPS • Preheat the panini grill closed when cooking with closed plates and open when cooking with open plates. (Heat dissipates when preheating the unit open, so preheating will take 3–4 minutes longer.) • The cooking positions and sides of the cooking plates you use will depend on the food being cooked, as well as personal preference. - Page 18 COOKING TIPS • Do not overcrowd the cooking plates. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can result in uneven cooking and inhibit browning. Cook food in batches instead. • To achieve greater flavor and a browned, crispy crust on the surface of meats, engage the SEAR function at the beginning or end of cooking.

Page 19: Cleaning And Maintenance
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE With its nonstick cooking plates, removable drip tray, and included scraping tool, the panini grill is super easy to clean. Turn off and unplug the unit when done. Let it cool completely before cleaning. Use the scraping tool to remove any leftover food from the cooking plates or to push any excess grease from the plates into the drip tray, if necessary. -
