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 5 minutes 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.
• Remove cooked food from the Panini Maker with a plastic
or wooden spatula. 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.
