SA vE  ThESE  INSTRUCTIONS .
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (120v Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To 
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized 
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the 
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to 
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to 
prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric 
shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized 
service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a)  A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to  
be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled  
in or tripping over a longer cord.
b)  Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available  
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c)  If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
  1)   The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord  
    or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating  
    of the appliance,
  2)   If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should  
    be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
  3)   The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the  
    countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped  
   ove r.
Note:  If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified 
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

PREhEATING 
1. Close the lid.
2.  Unwind the cord and plug it into a standard 
electrical outlet. The red power indicator light on 
the front left corner will turn on (E). 
3.  Turn the temperature control dial to the desired 
setting	(see	COOKING	CHARTS	on	pages	7-10	for 	
recommended settings) (F).   
	 •	 The	temperature	ranges	from	250ºF	to	425ºF. 		
	 •	 To	increase	temperature,	turn	the	dial 	 
	 	 clockwise	toward	the	HIGH	setting.
	 •	 To	decrease	temperature,	turn	the	dial 	 
    counterclockwise toward the LOW setting. 
Note: The temperature can be changed at any time by turning the dial to the 
desired setting.
4.  Allow to preheat for at least 8 minutes. If desired, use a kitchen timer. When 
the selected temperature is reached, the green ready light will turn on.
Note: The light will turn on and off during use as the temperature is 
maintained; this is normal.
USING ThE FLOATING hINGE POSITION (G) Tip: The floating hinge position is used for preparing 
Panini and other grilled sandwiches. It can also be 
used for grilling. In this position the top plate rests 
on top of the food.
1. Attach the top and bottom Panini plates and 
preheat. Prepare your sandwiches as the 
appliance heats up.
2.  Using a pot holder, carefully open the lid.
3.  Before first use, if desired, lightly oil the plates.
Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on the nonstick surface. The 
chemicals that allow the spray to come out of the can build up on the surface 
of the plates and reduce their efficiency.
4.  Carefully place foods to be cooked on the bottom plate. This appliance 
usually accommodates 2 to 3 servings. 
Important:  Do not overload the cooking plate.
5.  Close the lid in the floating hinge position with the lid closing directly onto 
the food.

  6. Allow food to cook for the desired time. If desired, use a kitchen timer.
Note:	Use	the	suggested	cooking	times	found	in	the	COOKING	CHARTS	on 	
pages 7-10 as a guide.
Important: Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.
Tip: You can use light pressure on the handle to press and heat the food to 
your liking.
Important: Do not use heavy pressure on the lid at any time. 
  7.  After the selected time, the food should be done. If you would prefer 
longer cooking, simply follow the steps beginning at step 4.
  8.  Using a pot holder, carefully open the lid.
  9.  Remove food using a nylon coated spatula.
Important: Always use heatproof plastic, silicone or wood utensils to 
avoid scratching the nonstick surface of the plates. Never use metal 
skewers, tongs, forks or knives.
10.  Unplug to turn the appliance off.
Important: The heat continues to be ON until the appliance is unplugged.
11.  Allow drip tray to cool completely before removing. Wash and dry the drip 
tray after each use.
Caution: Do not attempt to remove the plates while the appliance is hot.  
Always allow them to cool to room temperature before removing for 
cleaning.
USING ThE ADJUSTABLE ANGLE
Tip: If you are using your appliance as a grill, you can use the adjustable angle 
feet at the front of the grill to angle the cooking surface. This allows fat and 
grease to drain away from food as it cooks.
1. To use the adjustable angle, simply press on the 
front of the feet on either side under the front of 
the grill (h). 
2.  This will flip the feet over so the extended part of 
each is out and the cooking surface slopes toward 
the back. Make sure the feet are set firmly in the 
sloped position before starting to grill.
Important: Always ensure the drip tray is in place to allow grease and 
other liquids to drain properly when using the slope.

TROUBLEShOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Finish on plates is 
scratched or has cut 
marks.  Metal utensils have 
been used.
Always use silicone, 
heatproof plastic or 
wood utensils to avoid 
scratching nonstick 
surface of the plates.  
Never	
use	metal	 spatulas,	
skewers, tongs, forks or 
knives.
The green ready light 
turns on and off. The heating 
elements are cycling. This is normal. The green 
light turns on when the set 
temperature is reached. 
However,	
it	will	 cycle	 on	
and off to indicate the 
correct temperature is 
being maintained.
Marks on food are 
very light. The food 
looks steamed. Appliance was not 
fully preheated 
before use.Always preheat at least 8 
minutes before cooking 
any foods.
There is food buildup 
on the plates. Plates were not 
properly cleaned 
after use.Use nylon scrubbing pad 
and hot, soapy water to 
clean the plates. Do not 
use steel wool scrubbing 
pads or abrasive cleaners. 
Food is dry and burnt. Food is overcooked.Particularly for the floating 
hinge position since food 
is cooking from both 
sides, it cooks much faster 
than in a skillet or under 
a broiler. Use COOKING	
CHART	 as a guide and 
check food at lowest time 
stated on chart.
Appliance does not 
turn on. Appliance is not 
plugged in.Check to be sure appliance 
is plugged into working 
outlet.
Plates have white 
spots. The water from 
cleaning has dried 
on the surface of the 
plates.Dry plates immediately 
after washing.
