OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
We recommend a ''trial run'' at a high temperature to eliminate any protective sub-
stance or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping.
1. Carefully unpack the Panini Press and remove all labels and packaging materials
2. Check that the grilling plates are clean and free of dust. You may wipe the Panini
Press and Griddler body with a clean, damp cloth. Never use metal scouring pads,
harsh or abrasive materials on the grilling plate of the Panini Press as this may
damage the non-stick surfaces. Do not immerse the Panini Press body, cord or
plug in water or other liquid.
3. Place the Panini Press and Griddler on a clean, level and stable surface.
4. Plug your unit into a standard 120v wall outlet and let the Panini Press run for 10 to
15 minutes. You may notice some smoking coming from your Panini Press during
this initial phase. This is normal during the trial run and may occur the first two or
three times that the product is used.
USING YOUR PANINI PRESS
Your new Panini Press can be used in two different grilling configurations:
the Contact Position (see Figure 1) or the Flat Position (see Figure 2).
Figure 1
When cooking foods containing a lot of fats or oils, we recommend raising the adjust-
able feet of the Panini Press and Griddler to ensure that the grease runs towards the
rear of the grill into the drip tray. To raise the adjustable feet., swing out the feet to the
raised position as shown below.
