Before Your First Use
Using Your Panini Maker
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.
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.
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.
1
Completely pull out Drip Drawer prior to use. Place drip tray
underneath grease runoff so that any drippings will fall into the tray.
Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of
the appliance.
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.
About Your Wolfgang Puck
Panini Maker
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.
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.
4
5
Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.
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.
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.
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.

Helpful Hints
Care and Cleaning
Other than the cleaning mentioned in this manual, no other servicing or
maintenance of this appliance is required. Repairs, if necessary must be
performed by an authorized service center.
•
•
•
•
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.
Caution: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water.
Always preheat for 8 minutes before use or until green ready light
illuminates. Have all ingredients in place before cooking starts.
Before cleaning and when finished using your appliance, unplug power
cord from outlet and allow to cool completely. Wipe the inside and the
edges of the grilling plates with a clean, damp cloth. To remove
stubborn stains or food, use the nylon brush included with your unit, or
other utensils regarded as safe for nonstick surfaces. Do not use steel
wool or scouring pads. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Wipe the exterior
with a clean, damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly before using again or
storing. The cleaning blade and drip tray can be cleaned in the top rack
of the dishwasher or hand washed in warm soapy water.
For best results, spread mayonnaise or butter 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.
•
For easy storage, use the cord
wrap on the underside of the unit. Your
Panini Maker is designed to stand verti-
cally, taking up the least amount of
storage space. See figure 4.
•
For easy cleanup, you can lay your
food on the bottom half of parchment
paper, evenly spaced leaving a two inch
border on each side. Place a second
piece of parchment paper over your
food, and fold sides in and press to
make a sealed seam. Fold in one more
time and press. Load packet onto the
panini with open end positioned over
the drip tray so fat can freely flow into
the tray.
