• CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE UNIT, CORD OR
PLUG IN WATER
• To clean the grill plates, wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth.
• When cleaning the upper grill plate, it is easiest to use the hinge release button
and open the unit to the open/flat position. This will allow you better access
to the upper grill plate and prevent accidental closing of the unit during
cleaning.
• To remove stubborn food, use a nylon dish brush or other utensil safe for non-
stick surfaces, then wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth.
• Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any surface of the
Grill & Panini Press.
• Remove and empty the drip tray when cool, wash with warm soapy water
and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth.
• Dry all parts thoroughly before using again or storing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Grill & Panini Press will not operate.
• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?
• Is the power supply cord properly seated in the outlet?
• Is this the only appliance using the circuit?
• Has the cord been damaged in some way? If so, DO NOT USE THE AP-
PLIANCE. Contact Customer Service for replacement information.
The upper grill lid will not open fully to the flat position.
• Have you depressed the hinge release button located on the side of the unit?
• Do not attempt to force the unit open without pressing the button, as this will
permanently damage the hinge.
Grilling results are too rare or too well done.
• Have you preheated the unit before cooking begins?
• Individual doneness preferences vary; you may need to experiment when first
using the Grill & Panini Press to achieve your desired results. Cooking times
provided are guidelines.
Food odor remains on the grill plates after I have cleaned them.
• If you cook with aromatic herbs, onions or garlic and have a residual odor, first
clean the unit according to instructions. Make a paste of baking soda and
water and spread it on the cooled surface of the grill plates. Allow it to sit for
a few minutes, then wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth.
Frozen foods are not cooking properly on my Grill & Panini Press
• It is recommended that all food be defrosted before placing on the Grill &
Panini Press. Be sure the grill is preheated before cooking begins.
