Important Safety Instructions
- Always ensure the appliance is connected to a grounded power outlet with the correct voltage (230 Volts).
- Do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
- Keep hands and utensils away from the cooking surface during operation to prevent burns.
- Unplug the grill from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
- Allow the appliance to cool completely before handling or cleaning.
- Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
- This appliance is for commercial use only.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the panini grill from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the appliance for ventilation.
- Power Connection: Verify that the power supply matches the voltage requirements (230 Volts) specified on the appliance label. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the cooking surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any manufacturing residues. Dry thoroughly.
Operating Instructions
- Preheating: Close the grill plates. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired cooking temperature. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the grill is heating.
- Cooking: Once the indicator light turns off (or reaches the set temperature), the grill is ready for use. Carefully place food items onto the bottom cooking plate.
- Grilling: Lower the top plate gently onto the food. The cooking time will vary depending on the food type and desired doneness.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the food to prevent overcooking.
- Completion: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the food using heat-resistant utensils.
- Shutting Down: Turn the temperature control knob to the "OFF" position. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
Note: The smooth cooking surface is designed for even heat distribution and easy cleaning. For best results, lightly oil the plates before each use, especially when cooking items prone to sticking.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Eurodib PDF3000 panini grill.
- Cool Down: Always allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Cooking Surface Cleaning:
- For light residue, wipe the smooth non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth.
- For stubborn food particles, use a plastic scraper or a non-abrasive brush. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick coating.
- A solution of warm water and mild dish soap can be used. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off and the plates are completely dry before next use.
- Grease Tray: Empty and clean the removable grease tray regularly. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry.
- Storage: Store the grill in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the appliance's surfaces.
Troubleshooting
