Minimum food moisture content recommended for the PaniniPro
The PaniniPro uses a combination of microwaves and hot plates to achieve fast cook times. Microwaves
cause water molecules in food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food. If the food placed in the
microwave device doesn’t have enough moisture, the microwaves will not be absorbed by the water
and the excess microwaves will damage the device. Microwaves and heat plates will also reduce the
percent moisture content in the food the longer the microwaves and heat plates are on.
To prevent damage to the PaniniPro when running a menu with microwaves provide, AT A MINIMUM,
one fresh piece of white bread (or the equivalent moisture content) in the cooking cavity for NO
LONGER THAN A 30 second period. Longer cooking times require larger amounts of moisture or there
will be damage to the PaniniPro.
If user is interested in warming or browning a dry food product on the PaniniPro, be sure to
choose/program a cooking menu that does NOT turn on the microwaves.
Please call customer service if you have any questions.
