Using Your Panini Maker
Your Panini Maker is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as French,
Italian, and focaccia. The top grill plate is weighted to compress and
grill a Panini to perfection in about 3 minutes (depending on the bread,
filling, and personal taste). Your Panini Maker can also be used to grill a
variety of food items, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables.
1 Completely pull out Drip Drawer prior to use. Place drip tray
underneath grease runoff so that any drippings will fall into the tray.
2 Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. Close the cover and
plug
into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC outlet only. The red power indicator will
illuminate whenever the unit is plugged in. After approximately 8
minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance is
preheated to the selected temperature and ready for use. Always
preheat with the grill in the closed position.
3 Open the lid using the black handle only, being careful not to touch
any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates. We recommend
the use of oven mitts or potholders to prevent the risk of injury.
4 Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.
5 Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired
temperature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close
the lid and do not attempt to lock latch on handle.
Note: The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and
will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is maintained.
Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.
6 When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the
plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely
before cleaning.
Before Your First Use
Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials.
Wash the grill surfaces with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
When cleaning the nonstick grill plates, always ensure that the unit is
not plugged in.
Caution: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water.
To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging,
wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of
the appliance.
About Your Wolfgang Puck
Panini Maker
The English translation of Panini means little breads, or rolls and is
equated with sandwiches. In the United States, Panini has come to
denote a grilled Italian sandwich.
The Panini sandwiches of today are generally made using fresh, crusty
Italian breads. Your Wolfgang Panini Maker uses the weight of the
heated upper grill plate to grill both sides at the same time. Use your
Panini Maker to prepare authentic Italian Panini’s and Cuban sandwiches,
as well as to grill poultry, meat, fish, sausages, and a variety of other
foods. Your Panini Maker is designed to sear foods perfectly. The special
hinged top plate inherent on all Panini grills allows the grill to be used on
extra thick sandwiches and food items.
