Helpful Hints
• Be sure to always wash the grill plates after each use to remove any
residue that may have accumulated.
• Do not use sharp objects or attempt to cut food on top of the grill
plates.
• Always preheat for 8 minutes until the green ready light illuminates
before use. Have all ingredients in place before cooking starts.
• For best results, spread mayonnaise on both outer sides of panini
sandwiches before cooking. This will give darker, crustier grill marks
on the bread.
• Do not use metal utensils, as this may damage the nonstick surface
of the grill plates.
• If additional sandwiches are desired, lower the lid to preserve the
heat while you prepare the additional sandwiches.
• Let sandwiches cool slightly before eating. Cheese, especially,
becomes very hot. Soft or melted fillings will firm slightly.
• The “High” setting on the dial was designed for searing and
blackening. It is also excellent for grilling tuna steaks. Simply place
a 1- inch tuna steak on ribbed grill plates for 1 - 2 minutes for
a perfect medium rare, or to desired doneness.
