Operating Instructions
Preheating the Appliance:
- Close the lid and plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The red power indicator light will illuminate.
- Allow the appliance to preheat. The green 'ready' indicator light will illuminate when the desired cooking temperature is reached. This typically takes 3-5 minutes.

The appliance's heating elements are visible, indicating the unit is actively heating up.
Cooking with the Panini Press:
- Once the green 'ready' light is on, carefully open the lid using the cool-touch handle.
- Place your sandwich, panini, or other food item onto the bottom grill plate. Do not overfill the appliance.
- Gently close the lid. The floating hinge design allows the top plate to adjust to the thickness of your food.
- Cook for approximately 3-8 minutes, or until your food is golden brown and cooked to your preference. Cooking time may vary based on ingredients and desired crispness. The green light may cycle on and off during cooking as the appliance maintains temperature.
- When cooking is complete, open the lid and carefully remove the food using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet after use.
