USING THE ADJUSTABLE ANGLE
Tip: If you are using your Panini press as a grill, you can use the adjustable angle feet at the front of the grill to
angle the cooking surface. This allows fat and grease to drain away from food while it cooks.
1. To use the adjustable angle, simply press on the front of the feet on either side under the front of the grill.
2. This will flip the feet over so the extended part of each is out and the cooking surface slopes toward the
back. Make sure the feet are set firmly in the sloped position before starting to grill.
Important: Always ensure the drip tray is in place to allow grease and other liquids to drain properly
when using the slope.
USING THE OPEN COOKING SURFACE
1. Raise the lid by the handle until it stops.
2. Press the hinge release button on the bottom right side of the handle and lower the lid until the cooking
surface is fully opened.
Care and Cleaning
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow appliance to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Place drip tray into drip tray slot as directed on page 5. Use a plastic spatula to scrape off any excess fat
and food particles left on the cooking plates; runoff will drip into the drip tray.
Note: To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the grill plates.
Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to clean any part of
your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.
2. Remove the drip tray, empty and wash in warm, soapy water or the dishwasher (top-rack only); dry
thoroughly with a paper towel or cloth.
