ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION: HOT SURFACES. This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning OFF. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner’s Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

5. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.

TR456_ 1/28/03 4:02 PM Page 5

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

CAUTION:

NOTE:

Before using your Breadman® Panini Maker, clean and pre-heat the non-stick Grilling Plates.

1. Carefully unpack Panini Maker.

2. Release the Securing Latch located on the side of the Metal Arm.

Wipe all surfaces with a cloth or sponge dampened with hot, soapy water. NEVER IMMERSE THE PANINI MAKER IN WATER.

Rinse with a dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.

3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface where it can be easily plugged into an electrical outlet. Plug the Panini

Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

4. The red Power ON Indicator Light and the Green READY Light will both illuminate.

To avoid burns, care should be taken when handling the Panini

Maker. The sides of the Grilling Plates are exposed and may be hot.

Use oven mitts or potholders when handling hot surfaces.

5. You may notice a fine smoke haze and a slight odor while residues burn off.

Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this is normal and should disappear after one or two uses.

6. Allow the Panini Maker to pre-heat for approximately

4 - 5 minutes until the Green READY Indicator Light turns off.

7. While the Panini Maker is preheating, we suggest that you prepare your panini and fillings.

PANINI PREPARATION

Follow these simple steps to prepare the perfect panini for your friends or family. It is customary to prepare panini from a hearty loaf of bread. However, panini made from store-bought sliced breads or rolls can be delicious and simple to prepare.

Panini Bread

Technique

1. With a serrated knife, carefully trim off the top crust of the bread to make a flat surface. Leave as much bread as possible.

Flip the loaf over and repeat.

STEP 1

2. Place your hand firmly on top of the loaf so you can feel the position of the knife as it cuts evenly through the bread. Cut the loaf horizontally into 2 (1/2” thick) slices.

STEP 2

TR456_ 1/28/03 4:02 PM Page 9

PANINI PREPARATION (Continued)

NOTE:

NOTE:

3. Assemble panini. Brush or spray both sides of the outside of the sandwich with olive oil, butter or margarine. When the Green

READY Light goes out, your panini are ready to grill.

4. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, hold the top cover (Lid) open when placing or removing food on the cooking surface to prevent accidental closing and injury.

5. Using a pot holder or oven mitt, center one or two panini, oiled side down, on the bottom Grilling Plate.

6. Grasp the Cool Touch Grip and pull down the Metal Arm to gently lower the top Grilling Plate. The Floating Hinge system will adjust to the thickness of your panini automatically. To ensure a perfectly grilled sandwich, make sure that the top

Grilling Plate lies evenly on the top of the oiled panini.

7. During grilling, the Green READY Indicator Light will cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to grill panini to perfection.

Make sure that the cord is kept well away from the Grilling Plates when in use.

8. Grill until the bread is toasted to your liking.

9. To remove your grilled panini, always use a plastic or wooden spatula.

Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the Grilling Plates.

10. Allow panini to cool to a safe handling temperature before slicing.

11. Disconnect the plug from wall outlet when not in use.

TR456_ 1/28/03 4:02 PM Page 10

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always preheat the Panini Maker before each use.

• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.

• A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, fruit breads, and white bread.

• With the Panini Maker’s Non-Stick Grilling Plates, it is not necessary to butter the outside of the bread. However, to encourage even browning of the bread, spreading a small amount of butter or margarine is recommended.

NOTE: The Panini Maker is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use nonstick sprays as they can cause build-up on the Cooking Plates. Use cooking oil instead.

• When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Bread can be slightly toasted before filling is added.

• Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. It is preferable to used canned fruit; drain and pat fruit dry with a clean paper towel.

• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.

• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini crispier and adds flavor when using sweet fillings. Prepare delicious panini desserts with custard or cream.

• Remember that whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads.

• After you have removed finished panini, close the Lid to retain heat while assembling more sandwiches.

• Wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel to wipe the Grilling

Plates clean after each use to avoid food contamination.

To keep your Panini Maker operating properly, clean regularly.

1. Unplug the Panini Maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. NEVER IMMERSE THE PANINI MAKER IN WATER OR ANY

OTHER LIQUID.

3. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

4. To remove any remaining food on the Grilling Plates, wipe with a soft, damp cloth or absorbent paper towel. If rubbing with a damp cloth fails to remove burnt-on food, use a non-metallic scrubbing pad to clean the Grilling Plates. Dry thoroughly.

5. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners or utensils to clean either the inside or the outside of this Panini

Maker as they will damage the surfaces.

6. Make sure to hold the Lid by hand while cleaning to prevent accidental closing and injury.

Plates together and press the Securing Latch on the side of the

Metal Arm.

2. Use the Cord Wrap on the bottom of the Panini Maker.

Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.

3. Store the Panini Maker in closed position (handles pointed up) for neat and compact storage or in its box or in a clean, dry place.

2 tablespoons lemon juice
