    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	CHART	on	pages	7,	8,	9	and 	
    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 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 grilling 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	CHART	on 	
    pages 7, 8, 9 and 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 the plastic spatula provided or 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 Panini press 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 while 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.

    PROBLEM
    POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
    Finish on cooking 
    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 cooking 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.
    Cooking plates have 
    white spots. The water from 
    cleaning has dried 
    on the surface of the 
    plates.Dry plates immediately 
    after washing.
