OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI GRILL
TO USE AS A PANINI PRESS
1. Insert the power plug into a 110/120v
power outlet. The red ‘POWER’ light
will illuminate.
2. Turn the variable temperature control
to ‘PANINI’ setting. Allow the grill to
preheat with the top cooking plate in
the closed position until the green
‘READY’ light illuminates.
3. During this time prepare the panini. When
the panini grill has pre-heated, place the
panini onto the bottom cooking plate.
Always place paninis towards the rear of
the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate. The top
cooking plate has a floating hinge that
is designed to evenly press down on
the panini. The top plate must be fully
lowered to cook paninis.
NOTE:
Foods may be cooked with the top
cooking plate in the open or closed
position. Cooking with the top plate
closed will create grill marks on
both sides of the food.
5. Toasting should take approximately 5-8
minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
6. When the panini is cooked, use the
handle to open the grill and raise the top
cooking plate. Remove panini with the
help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never
use metal tongs or a knife as these can
cause damage to the non-stick coating.
USING THE ADjUSTABLE
GRILLING HEIGHT CONTROL
FEATURE
Adjustable Height Control feature allows
you to fix the top plate to a range of
positions above the bottom plate. This
allows your grill to be used to grill delicate
ingredients such as fish and hamburger
buns without squashing. It can also be
used for toasting open sandwich melts and
snacks where you don’t need to apply the
weight of the top plate.
1. Turn the variable temperature control to
‘SEAR’ or ‘PANINI’ setting and allow the
grill to pre-heat until the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
2. Place food to be grilled or your panini to
be melted on the bottom plate.
3. Move the Adjustable Height Control clip
on the right hand side of the grill to the
desired height (see fig 2).
fig 2
4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on
the Adjustable Height Control clip.
5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat
to lightly grill foods or melt ingredients
such as cheese. Grilling and toasting
times will be a matter of taste. It will
depend on the height of the top plate.
