The panini maker is equipped with a clamping mechanism. Lower the upper grilling plate carefully
onto the bread until the auto-lock mechanism clamps it onto the lower grilling plate.
Note: During the grilling process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time.
This indicates that the heating elements switch on and off to maintain the correct temperature.

Note: The grilling time depends on the type of bread, the filling and your personal taste.
9 Remove the paninis with a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) (Fig. 8).
Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils, as they damage the non-stick coating.

heating-up light goes out.
