OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is a good idea to apply a light coating of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the non-stick
cooking plates before each use.
Connect the Panini Press to the wall 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).
Raise the top cooking plate using the handle and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking
•
plate.
Lower the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge and will
•
automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich as it closes.
A sandwich may take 6-8 minutes to cook, depending on the preferred level of browning
•
required and the type of bread used.
Carefully monitor the cooking process as the cooking times required for different bread
•
types can vary significantly.
When the sandwich is cooked as desired, lift the top cooking plate using the handle.
•
Remove the sandwich using a plastic, silicone or wooden utensil.
•
CAUTION: Never use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.
When finished, switch off the wall power outlet and remove the plug.
•
Allow the unit to cool and wipe the plates clean.
•
Close the top lid into the closed position for storage.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
TyPEs Of brEad:
The Panini Press can be used to toast any shape, thickness and most types of bread;
•
White, Wholemeal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, Focaccias, Turkish Bread, Sourdough,
Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls.
Each bread type will require a different amount of time cooking, so be sure to monitor your
•
sandwich whilst cooking.
Dense breads such as Sourdough, Turkish Bread or Rye Bread will take longer to toast than
•
lighter breads such as White, Wholemeal or Bread Rolls.
Sweet breads, such as Fruit Bread, that have a higher sugar content will tend to brown
•
quicker than non-sweetened bread.
fIllINgs:
You can toast any filling you like in your sandwich, sweet or savoury.
•
The flat plate design also makes the Panini Press ideal for toasting bread without any fillings
•
or spreads.
CAUTION: Always take care when biting into a freshly toasted sandwich containing
fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as they retain heat and could scold your mouth.
It is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snack
•
because the Panini Press has non-stick plates.
TIP: When toasting ingredients that melt when heated and can spill out the sides of your
snack (such as cheese, mayonnaise or jam), a very light coating of cooking oil, butter or
margarine on the plates will assist with cleaning the plates and prolong the lifespan of
the non-stick surface, whilst adding minimum fat to your sandwich.
