7. Preheat the Panini Maker. Plug the unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The red POWER
light will illuminate and remain lighted during use.
8. While preheating, prepare food to be cooked.
9. When the blue READY light illuminates, center food on the open grill plate(s). Foods with
high fat content should be placed on the front grill plate to enable grease to empty into
the drain in the center of the 2 grill plates.

HINT:
To achieve attractive grill marks, place food on the grill at a 45˚ angle. Allow food
to cook, undisturbed, until browning occurs along the sides. Lift a corner, and when you
can see browned grill marks, flip the food over, setting it at the opposite angle to the grill
lines. Continue cooking until food is cooked to your liking.
CAUTION:
To prevent risk of burns, always use oven mitts. Be careful not to touch any
hot surfaces such as the upper housing or grill plates, or any hot liquid in the drip tray.
Extreme care must be taken as the surface temperatures get dangerously hot.
11. Cook foods according to recipe time or consult the General Cooking Chart for reference.
Recipes may vary in cook time and brownness. Note the perfect grill times for each food
for future reference.
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY
AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.
12. Wearing oven mitts, remove grilled food from the grill plate(s) using a non-metallic
utensil. A plastic spatula will help to remove delicate food in one piece. Scratch-proof
tongs are helpful when grilling meats or sausages.
WARNING:
Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of
the grill plates.
13. When food is finished cooking, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED. OTHERWISE, THE
PANINI MAKER WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT UNTIL UNIT IS UNPLUGGED.
14. Allow the Panini Maker to cool completely before removing the drip tray or grill plates or
to clean the unit
