Lid Height Adjustment and Lock
This feature allows you to set the lid height at four
different stopping points for more cooking flexibility.
This is ideal when cooking delicate foods such as fish
or panini sandwiches with soft or delicate ingredients.
To adjust, rotate height adjustment knob clockwise
(toward the back) to one of four height settings.
This feature also allows you to lock the lid in its closed
position for safe and easy transport. To lock, turn knob
counter-clockwise (toward the front).
Open-Flat Hinge Release Button
When using the panini grill/griddle as a panini press or
press grill, the lid will stop in the upright position to
allow you to add or remove food from the cooking
surface. For use as a griddle or table-top grill, press the
open-flat hinge release button while grasping the
handle and rotate the lid all the way open until the
handle rests on the table or counter.

Grill/Griddle Plates
The grill/griddle plates are removable, reversible, and
dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Either plate will fit
both the top and bottom position. One side of each
plate has raised ribs for making panini sandwiches and
grilling; the other side is smooth for using as a griddle
or flat grill. Any combination of grill/griddle plate
configurations can be used in either the closed or open
flat position. Be careful to avoid scratching the non-
stick surface to prolong the life of the coating.
Drip Tray
The drip tray catches grease and drippings and should
be emptied and cleaned after each use.
Removing and Installing
Grill/Griddle Plates
Be sure plates are cool before attempting to remove
them. Open the panini grill/griddle to the flat position
and press the grill/griddle plate release buttons. Lift
each plate up and out from under the metal tabs
located between the two plates.
To install the plates, open the panini grill/griddle to the
flat position and slide one plate at a time under the
metal tabs located between the two plates. Next, press
each plate down to latch the side clamps. Be sure the
plates are properly secured before use.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to move or transport the panini
grill/griddle while it is still hot or when there is
