BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future reference.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
  Always use the Grill on a dry level surface.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for circulation.
• On surfaces where heat may cause a problem, an insulating mat is recommended.
• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle to lift the top plate.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or become knotted.
• This appliance is not intended for use near or by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children or infirm persons should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with or misuse the appliance.

• Always remove the plug from the power outlet before attempting to move the appliance, when the appliance is not in use, before cleaning and storing.

• Do not use harsh abrasives, caustic cleaners or oven cleaners when cleaning this appliance.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual appliance for any damage. If found damaged in any way, immediately cease use of the appliance and call Breville Customer Service at 1-866-BREVILLE.
• 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, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

UNPLUG FROM OUTLET
WHEN NOT IN USE AND
BEFORE CLEANING. ALLOW
TO COOL BEFORE PUTTING
ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS,
AND BEFORE CLEANING THE
APPLIANCE.

THE USE OF ACCESSORY ATTACHMENTS NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER MAY CAUSE INJURIES.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

FULLY UNWIND THE CORD FROM THE CORD STORAGE FACILITY BEFORE USE

• No user-serviceable parts inside.
  Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

NOTE:

Your appliance comes with the exclusive Breville Assist Plug™, conveniently designed with a finger hole in the power plug, for easy and safe removal from the outlet. For safety reasons it is recommended you plug your Breville appliance directly into the power outlet.

DO NOT use in conjunction with a power strip or extension cord.

ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT

Your grill has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this appliance without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer power cord or an extension cord when using the appliance, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more than the wattage of the appliance (wattage is marked on the underside of the appliance).

OPERATING

your Breville Panini Grill

Remove any promotional material and packaging material before use. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.

To use as a Grill

1. Place the Panini Grill on a flat, dry surface such as a bench top.
2. Insert the plug into a 110/120V power outlet. The red power 'ON' light will illuminate.
3. Turn the variable temperature control to 'High' to heat the grill quickly.
4. Allow the Panini Grill to preheat until the green 'Ready' light illuminates.
5. Place meat or foods to be cooked on the bottom cooking plate. Refer to Grilling recipes or Grilling Guide for cooking times.

NOTE:

Foods may be cooked with the top cooking plate in the open or closed position. Cooking with the top plate closed will create grill marks on both sides of the food.

1. Close the top cooking plate, which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the food.
2. When the food is cooked, use the handle to open the lid. Remove the food using a plastic spatula.

NOTE:

The green 'Ready' light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

To use as a Panini Press

1. Insert the plug into a 110/120V power outlet. The red power 'ON' light will illuminate.
2. Turn the variable temperature control to 'Low'.
3. Allow the Panini Grill to preheat until the green 'Ready' light illuminates.
4. During this time, prepare the panini and place it onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place paninis towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
5. Close the top cooking plate, which has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the panini. The top plate must be fully lowered to cook paninis.
6. Toast for 5-8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of filling used.
7. When the panini is cooked use the handle to open the lid. Remove the panini with a plastic spatula.

Always allow the Panini Grill to preheat until the green 'READY' light illuminates.

Adjustable Grilling Height Control feature

Your Panini Grill features an Adjustable Grilling Height Control feature which allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate.

This allows your Panini Grill to be used to grill delicate ingredients such as fish and hamburger buns without squashing.

1. Allow the Panini Grill to preheat until the green 'READY' light illuminates.
2. Place the food to be grilled on the bottom plate.
3. Move the Adjustable Grilling Height Control clip on the right hand side of the Panini Grill to the desired height (see fig 1).
4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the height control clip.
5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to lightly grill foods.

NOTE:

The Adjustable Grilling Height Control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin foods by sliding the clip forwards or backwards along the arm.

Using the extendable feet

Your Panini Grill features extendable feet, which are designed to level the bottom cooking plate when cooking foods such as sausages. This ensures the sausages do not roll off the grill but still drain the maximum amount of fat while cooking. The extendable feet are also perfect to use while toasting paninis.

Simply flip the feet forward to level the bottom cooking plate (fig 2), or flip the feet backwards to angle the bottom plate.

Variable Temperature Control dial

The Breville Panini Grill features a Variable Temperature Control dial which allows a variety of foods to be cooked.

When the dial is set to 'High' the temperature is correctly suited to grill meats or other foods.

When the dial is set to 'Low' the temperature is correctly suited to toasting paninis.

Hints for grilling meat

For the best grilling results, use meat cuts which are not too thick. The top cooking plate should rest completely on-top of the entire cut of meat.

Recommended Cuts

Beef Sirloin (New York), rump, rib eye, filet.

Lamb Trim lamb leg steaks, filet, eye of loin, cutlets and diced lamb.

Pork Butterfly loin steaks, spare ribs, leg steaks, filet, diced pork.

• Tougher cuts such as beef blade, topside steak, lamb forequarter or neck chops can be used. To tenderize these cuts, marinate them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade with wine or vinegar to help break down the connective tissue.
• Do not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out the juices toughening the meat.

• If using a marinade recipe or premarinated meats from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the Panini Grill. Some marinades contain high sugar levels, which can scorch on the Grill plate when cooked.

• Do not over cook meat; even pork is better served pink and juicy.

• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.
• When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat resistant plastic spatula to support the food.
• Pre-boiling sausages can alleviate the need to pierce sausages before cooking.

GRILLING GUIDE

Contact grilling is a healthy and efficient way to cook. The cooking times are approximates due to variances in ingredients and meat thicknesses.

It is not recommended to cook meats with thick bones such as T-bone steaks.

CARE & CLEANING

your Breville Panini Grill

CARE & CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI GRILL

• Before cleaning, disconnect the Panini Grill from the power outlet.
• Allow your Panini Grill to cool before cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when slightly warm.
  Always clean your Panini Grill after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue.

For baked-on food residue, squeeze some warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue then clean with a plastic washing pad or nylon washing brush.

The included Cleaning Spatula can also be used to remove baked-on food residue.

NOTE:

The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface; do not use abrasives.

Do not leave plastic cooking utensils in contact with the Panini Grill while cooking.

Cleaning the drip tray

Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each use and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Do not use metal (or other abrasive) cleansers or harsh detergents as they may damage the surface.

Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.

Quantanium scratch resistant coating

Your Panini Grill features a special scratch resistant non-stick coating.

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE BREVILLE PANINI GRILL IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the Panini Grill. Breville will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating where metal utensils have been misused.

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.

Any discoloration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the Panini Grill and will not affect the cooking performance.

When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) cleansers. Wash with warm soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a plastic washing pad or nylon washing brush.

CARE & CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE PANINI GRILL

Storage

To store your Panini Grill:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
2. Allow the Grill to fully cool.
3. Storage clip. We have referred to this as the Adjustable Grilling Height Control clip.

Slide the Adjustable Grilling Height Control clip towards the front of the handle to the 'LOCK' position so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together.

1. Click the removable drip tray into place.
2. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area below the unit (see fig 3).
3. Store on a flat, dry level surface.
