Before using your Cuisinart

& Panini Press for the first time, wipe the
base and cover with a damp cloth .
Thoroughly clean cooking plates and drip
tray . The plates and drip tray are dishwasher
safe . Refer to Assembly Instructions (page

Contact Grill
Use the Griddler
® Grill
& Panini Press as a
Contact Grill to cook
burgers, boneless
pieces of meat, thin
cuts of meat and
vegetables .
The Contact Grill function works best when
you want to cook something in a short
amount of time or when you are looking for
a healthy method of grilling . When cooked
on the Contact Grill, food will cook quickly
because you are grilling both sides of the
food at the same time . The ribs on the grill
plates combined with the grease spout at
the rear of the plates allow the grease to
drip from the meat and drain off the plates .
Rest the cover on top of the food until it has
reached the desired cooked temperature .
The Griddler
® Grill & Panini Press was
designed with a unique handle and hinge
that allow the cover to adjust to the
thickness of the food .
You can easily grill anything with even
results, from a thinly-sliced potato to a
sirloin steak .
When cooking more than one food item in
the Contact Grill, it is important that the
thickness of food items be consistent so the
cover will close evenly on the food .
Panini Press
Use the Griddler
® Grill
& Panini Press as a
Panini Press to grill
sandwiches, breads
and quesadillas .
The word “panini” is
Italian for grilled sandwiches . Panini can
include any combination of ingredients such
as vegetables, meat and cheese layered
between two pieces of fresh-baked bread .
