Flat Position
Flat Position
– Upper plate/cover is level with lower
plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to
create one large cooking surface.
The Panini Grill is in this position when it is used as
an Open Grill or Griddle.
To adjust the Panini Grill to this position:
1
Locate the hinge knob on the right arm.
2
with your left hand on the handle, use your right
hand to turn the knob away from you to the
open/flat position.
3
Lift up handle and before opening fully to the full
flat position, check that the catch tab is engaged
and holding the upper plate in place.
4
Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on
the counter. The unit will stay in this position
until you lift the handle and cover to return it to
the closed position.
If the Panini Grill is already in the open position and
you wish to adjust it to the flat position:
5
Before opening the Panini Grill to the full flat
position, check that the catch tab is engaged and
holding the upper plate in place.
6
Pull the handle slightly toward you
7
Push the handle back until the cover rests in the
flat position.
Note:
Pulling the handle forward slightly before
lifting the hinge release switch will take some of the
pressure off of the hinge and you will be able to
adjust the Panini Grill more easily.
Drip tray
Grease from the food will run off the plates through
the drain hole and into the drip tray. Grease should
be safely disposed of after cooking. The drip tray can
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Once the Panini Grill is assembled properly, plug the
cord into a standard electrical outlet. You are now
ready to begin cooking.
