BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove and safely discard any packaging
material or promotional labels before
using your Panini Grill for the first time.
2. Check that the cooking plates are clean
and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over
with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
NOTE:
When the grill is turned on and
heating for the first time, it may emit
a fine smoke haze. This is due to
the protective substances on the
heating elements. It is safe and not
detrimental to the performance of
the grill.
The Panini Grill can be used as a grill
for searing meats and vegetables or as
a panini press for toasting breads and
focaccia. It also features an adjustable
Height Control feature which allows you
to fix the top plate to a range of positions
above the bottom plate.
TO USE AS A GRILL
3. Insert the power plug into a 110/120v
power outlet. The red ‘POWER’ light
will illuminate.
4. Turn the variable temperature control to
‘SEAR’ for fast heat up. Allow the grill to
pre-heat with the top cooking plate in the
closed position until the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
NOTE:
The green ‘Ready’ light will cycle
on and off during the cooking
process indicating that the correct
temperature is being maintained.
5. During this time, prepare the foods to be
cooked. Refer to Grilling Guide (page 13)
or Grilling Recipes (page 18).
When the grill has preheated, place the
foods to be cooked onto the bottom
cooking plate. Always place foods towards
the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
6. Close the top cooking plate. The top
cooking plate has a floating hinge that is
designed to evenly press down on food.
The top plate must be fully lowered to
achieve grill marks on the selected foods
(see fig 1).

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.
7. Grilling times will depend on the food
being cooked. Refer to Grilling Guide
(page 13) or Grilling Recipes (page 18).
8. When the food is grilled, use the handle
to open the grill and raise the top cooking
plate. Remove food 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.
NOTE:
Always allow the grill to
pre-heat until the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
