OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For the initial use, run the unit to burn off the mounting residue, smoke and odor will
occur, but this is normal and will not affect the performance of the panini grill.

PANINI GRILL MUST BE USED WITH BOTH UPPER/LOWER PLATES INSTALLED AT
ALL TIMES.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to property, make sure the removable
drip tray is fully inserted into the side of the unit.
1.
Use a heat-proof brush or paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to lightly coat the
upper and lower grill plates to encourage even browning.
IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the
grill plates. Use vegetable or olive oil instead.
