Congratulations on the purchase of your new Russell Hobbs appliance. Each unit is
manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the first time, please
read this instruction booklet carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on the
appliance.
When using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT: Ensure all packaging, labels and tags have been removed before connecting
to the power for the first time.
Position the Panini Press in a well ventilated area, on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface, clear
•
of curtains, drapes and other combustible materials.
Clean the cooking plates thoroughly using a soft damp cloth and dry with absorbent paper
•
towel.
Lightly wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil. This will help to cure and protect the nonstick
•
cooking plates when heated for the first time.
With the lid closed, connect the Panini Press to the power outlet and switch it on.
•
The red power light will illuminate.
•
When the Panini Press has reached operating temperature, the green light will illuminate.
•
The green light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
•
After several cycles of the green temperature light, switch off the power and allow the cooking
•
plates to cool. Wipe the plates clean with a soft cloth.
The Panini Press is now ready for general use.
•
NOTE: When operating the Panini Press for the first time, the unit may emit an odour and a small
amount of vapour as the new elements and cooking plates cure; this is normal.
