Before First Use
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information
for future reference.
1. Clean the cooking plates by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water.
2. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ON THE COOKING
SURFACES.
3. Dry with a cloth or paper towel.
4. For best results, lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or cooking spray.
5. Note: When your grill is heated for the first time, it may emit a slight smoke or odour. This is
normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.
Using Your Appliance
1. Place your grill on a clean, flat surface.
2. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply. Make sure that the plug is connected properly.
The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the grill has begun heating.
3. When the grill has reached the correct temperature for cooking, the indicator light will go off.
During this time, prepare the foods to be cooked.
4. Open the grill and place your panini on the bottom cooking plate.
5. 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. The ready indicator light will come on again.
6. Cook between 5 to 8 minutes, until the ready light turns off or the bread is golden brown. It is
recommended to check throughout so that you adjust the time to your own taste.
7. When the food is grilled, unlock the top plate, and use the handle to open the grill and raise
the top cooking plate. Remove the food with the help of a heat-resistant spatula. Never use
metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
Grilling Tips:
Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting most types of bread (white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain
etc, as well as artisan breads (focaccia, panini, flat bread, baguettes, bread rolls etc). Raisin
bread, brioche and breads which contain high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
Fillings
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be
careful when biting into Paninis and sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or
jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
Toasting Bread
The grill is ideal for toasting plain breads and flat bread, without any fillings or spreads.
Try toasting flat bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
Fat Free Snacks
Due to the non-stick Cerastone ceramic cooking plates, it is not necessary to use any butter or
margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.
Grilling Vegetables
Vegetables can be cooked on skewers, or straight on to the grill.
If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water first.
Wash and dry vegetables that you wish to use.
Vegetables such as mushrooms and asparagus can be cooked whole on the grill pan.
Grill vegetables until they are tender and lightly charred all over.
Parboil potatoes, carrots and beets before grilling. Dry them off and brush with oil, then grill.
Vegetables such as courgette and aubergine need to be brushed lightly with oil before grilling.
Bell peppers don’t require any oil.
