Helpful Hints
•
Be sure to always wash the grill plates after each use to remove any
residue that may have accumulated.
•
Do not use sharp objects or attempt to cut food on top of the grill
plates.
•
Always preheat for 10 minutes until the green ready light
illuminates before use. Have all ingredients in place before
cooking starts.
•
For best results, spread mayonnaise on both outer sides of panini
sandwiches before cooking. This will give darker, crustier grill marks
on the bread.
•
Do not use metal utensils, as this may damage the nonstick surface
of the grill plates.
•
If additional sandwiches are desired, lower the lid to preserve the
heat while you prepare the additional sandwiches.
•
Let sandwiches cool slightly before eating. Cheese especially,
becomes very hot. Soft or melted fillings will firm slightly.
•
For cheeseburgers, simply grill the hamburgers in the FLOAT
or FLAT position. Once complete, open the grill and add cheese.
Then select the FIXED HEIGHT position to melt the cheese.
