CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Prior to cleaning, turn the panini grill/griddle off and
unplug it.
• Allow ample time for all surfaces of the panini
grill/griddle to cool completely.
• Empty the drip tray. Carefully slide the drip tray out
the back of the panini grill/griddle and dispose of the
contents appropriately. Wash the drip tray by hand or
in the top rack of the dishwasher. Be sure the drip
tray is dry before inserting it back into the panini
grill/griddle.
• Wash the grill/griddle plates in the dishwasher or
wash by hand in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
Be sure plates are thoroughly dry before placing
back in the panini grill/griddle.
• For daily cleaning, wipe the outside surface with a
clean, damp cloth. To further enhance the lid’s
