Operating Instructions

1. Place the panini press on a dry, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The red Power Light ? will illuminate.
3. Close the lid and allow the appliance to preheat. This typically takes 3-5 minutes. The green Ready Light ? will illuminate when the appliance has reached the correct temperature.
4. While the appliance is preheating, prepare your sandwich or panini. Lightly grease the heating plates if desired, though the non-stick coating usually suffices.
5. Carefully open the lid using the handle. Place your sandwich or panini onto the bottom heating plate.
6. Gently close the lid. Do not force it down; allow the weight of the lid to press the sandwich.
7. Cook for 3-7 minutes, or until the sandwich is golden brown and toasted, and the cheese (if used) is melted. Cooking time will vary depending on the type of bread, fillings, and desired crispiness.
8. Carefully open the lid. Use a spatula or tongs (not metal, to protect the non-stick surface) to remove the cooked food.
9. If cooking multiple items, allow the appliance to reheat to the correct temperature (the green light will re-illuminate) before adding the next sandwich.
10. When finished cooking, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. The red Power Light ? will turn off.
11. Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish.
3. Clean the non-stick heating plates by wiping them with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, use a soft brush or plastic scraper. Never use metal utensils.
4. If the drip tray is present, remove it and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
5. Never immerse the appliance or its cord in water or any other liquid.
