The surfaces so marked become hot during use.
BEFORE FIRST USE
After transporting or storing in cold conditions, the device must be allowed to
acclimate at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
1. Read the manual before use and save it for future reference.
2. Remove the packaging material from the device.
3. Wipe the cooking surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge and a little common dishwashing detergent,
followed by clean water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
4. Wipe the external surface of the appliance using wet cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water and do
not pour water on the grilling plates!
5. Dry the surfaces and body of the appliance with a cloth or paper towel.
Note:
You may note a slight odour of smoke when you use the panini maker for the first time. This is normal
for most appliances with heating elements and does not present a threat to safety of your appliance.
For this reason, we recommend that you "burn" the cooker without food until the smell or smoke fades
before using it for the first time. When burning it off keep the panini maker closed.
PREPARING SANDWICHES
1. First, prepare the pastry filled with ingredients.
2. Close the panini maker and plug it into a power outlet. Note that both the red and green lights turn on.
3. It takes about 3–5 minutes to reach the baking temperature, then the green light goes out.
4. Open the lid.
5. To achieve an even better golden brown colour, you can lightly brush the surface of the pastry that is in
contact with the plate with butter.
6. Put the bread on the grilling plate.
Note:
Do not overfill the bread, the filling could spill onto the grilling areas.
Carefully fold the upper baking surface over so that the panini maker is completely closed. Do not close
the panini maker by force or it may be damaged.
7. The light comes on again. Bake for 3–8 minutes until golden, or until the light goes out again. The baking
time depends on the ingredients used and your personal taste.
8. When your meal is ready, open the lid of the panini maker using the handle. To remove the food, use a
plastic spatula.
Warning:
Never use metal tools or sharp kitchen utensils. You could damage the non-stick surface of the
baking plates.
9. Unplug the cord from the outlet after you are finished using the panini maker.
Note:
The green indicator light flashes on and off, signalling readiness for grilling, depending how is the
correct temperature of the grilling plates maintained. The correct temperature is indicated by the
indicator light going off.
GRILLING
Use as a contact grill
1. Prepare hamburgers, boneless or thin pieces of meat or other foods according to the recipe and place
them on the lower grill plate.
2. Close the top grilling plate. The plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press the food to be
cooked. The top plate must be laid freely to ensure that the food is properly grilled.
3. When your meal is ready, open the lid of the panini maker using the handle. To remove the food, use a
plastic spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as they can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
