Care and Use
- Always allow the panini press to pre-heat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
- The adjustable height control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin melts by sliding the clip forwards or backwards on the arm.
- Be aware that the outer surface of the grill may be hot due to the heat generated from the plates. Always exercise caution when the grill is in use.
- Always fully unwind the cord before use.
- Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings on the grill plates as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface of the plates.
Care
- The grill is easier to clean when slightly warm but should always be allowed to cool somewhat before cleaning.
- Always clean the panini press after each use to prevent build up on baked-on foods.
- Wipe the cooking plates with a soft damp cloth.
- If the cooked on food is not removed with the damp cloth, reheat the grill for 1 – 2 minutes then brush the food with a little oil. Allow to stand for 5 minutes with the grill turned off, then wipe with a damp cloth.
- Wipe the outside of the grill with a soft damp cloth and warm soapy water.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh scouring pads on either the plates or the outside of the grill. This can scratch and damage the surfaces.
Grilling Tips
Bread
Most types of bread can be used with the panini press: white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin bread and so on. The panini press is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread and baguettes, as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche and other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
Fillings
Try to use canned or precooked fruit for fillings, as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be very careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn your mouth 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, reducing the fat content of them.
