GRILLING IN THE FLAT (OR OPEN) POSITION
Cooking in the FLAT position allows for more space to grill. This configuration can be
used to grill vegetables, meats, fruits, and thinly sliced fish.
IMPORTANT: Always preheat the Panini Press and Griddler in the CLOSED position.
NOTE: When cooking on both Lower and Upper grilling plates in FLAT mode ensure
that your food is spread evenly amongst both plates. Always place the food with
longest cooking time on the Lower plate. When cooking on one plate, only use Lower
plate. In the FLAT position the Upper plate will run 75˚F cooler than the Lower plate.
WARNING: Open the grill using the handle only. Be careful not to touch any hot sur-
face such as the housing or grill plates. We recommend the use of oven mitts or pot-
holders to prevent the risk of injury. Extreme care must be used when operating this
appliance as surface temperatures get extremely hot.
1. Ensure that your drip tray is in the sliding position and fully inserted under the grill
in the center of the lower housing (see Figures 5 and 6).
2. Following the procedures outlined in the ''Operating Instructions," raise the front
two adjustable feet. This will enable the oil to flow into the grease drain in the
center of the flattened grill plates, and then into the drip tray.
3. Before using the Panini Press and Griddler, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom grilling plates with vegetable oil.
4. Close the top housing and plug into a 120-volt 60Hz AC grounded outlet only.
5. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approxi-
mately 3 minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance is pre-
heated and ready for use.
6. Press the Grill Lock Button to create a full ribbed contact grill. Wear protective
oven mitts grasp the handle and open the Panini Press and Griddler.
7. When the grill plates are in an opened, flat position, it may be necessary to
adjust the angle of the upper grill plate. Press the grill plate down on the center
grease drain to adjust the angle
