Before using your appliance for the first time, clean and season the non-stick cooking
surfaces:
• With the appliance unplugged, clean the cooking surfaces with a cloth and sponge
dampened with hot, soapy water.
DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with a
dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
• To season the cooking surfaces, plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. The red
power indicator light will illuminate. Allow the unit to pre-heat until the green ready
indicator light illuminates. Wipe a small amount of butter or margarine onto the cooking
surfaces, rub light and wipe away any excess.
•
NOTE: When using your Oster
®
Panini Sandwich Press for the first time, you may
notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the
initial heating of internal components.

• Plug the power cord into the appropriate electrical outlet. The red power on indicator
light will illuminate and remain lit while the appliance is plugged in.
• Release the securing latch located on the side of the cast-metal arm.
• Pre-heat the unit until the green ready indicator light turns off.
• Once you have prepared your snack, place the food to be grilled on the cooking
surface.
• Gently lower the top-cooking surface by pulling down the cast metal arm (use the cool
touch grip). The floating hinge system will adjust automatically ensuring that the top-
cooking surface lies evenly on your snack, for perfect grilling every time.
•
NOTE: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking surfaces when in use.
• Allow your snack to grill until done. The unit will heat both sides at the same time.
•
NOTE: The green ready indicator light may turn on and off during cooking. This
indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to prepare
snacks to perfection.
• The cooking surfaces are coated with a durable non-stick coating. Some sandwich
fillings such as cheese may melt and cause the sandwich to stick to the cooking
surfaces. To free the sandwich, use a plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Never use a
sharp metal objet, as this will damage the non-stick surface.
• After you have completed using your Oster
®
Panini Sandwich Press, unplug unit from
the electrical outlet.
