TOASTED PANINIS

1. Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet and then turn the power ON. The red POWER light will illuminate.

3. During this time, prepare the panini. When the panini press has prpreheatedplace the panini onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place the panini towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the panini.     
5. Toasting should take approximately 5-8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and the type of filling used.
6. When the panini is cooked, use the handle to open the panini press and raise the top cooking plate. Remove the panini with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife, as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

6. Toasting melts should take approximately 3-4 minutes. However exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the height of the top plate.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

BREAD
Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin
loaf and so on. The panini press is ideal for toasting focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes, as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit, as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato m as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
VERSATILITY
The flat bottom plate design makes the panini press ideal for toasting plain bread and Turkish bread without any fillings or spreads. The flat bottom plate is also perfect for cooking breakfast items such as eggs and pancakes.

FAT-FREE SNACKS
Due to the non-stick flat plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine
on the outside of your toasted snacks.

CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE

Before cleaning, remove the plug from the power outlet. Allow your panini press to cool
before cleaning. The appliance is easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean your panini press after each use to prevent a buildup of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked food is not removed by this method, reheat the unit for 1-2 minutes, then brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five minutes, then wipe with a damp cloth.

STORAGE
To store your panini press:

1. Unplug from the power outlet.
2. Allow the panini press to fully cool.
3. Slide the adjustable height control towards the front handle to the LOCK position so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together.
4. Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the appliance.
5. Store on a flat, dry, level surface.
