Using Your Panini Maker  
Before Your First Use  
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.  
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.  
Caution: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water.  
1. Preheat the grill. Close the cover and plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ  
AC outlet only. Caution: The unit is ON whenever it is  
plugged in. Both the green and red lights will turn on indicating  
that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 5 minutes,  
the green light will go out indicating that the appliance is  
preheated and ready for use.  
To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging,  
wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.  
Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the  
appliance.  
2. Open the lid using the black cool-touch handle only, being careful  
not to touch any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates.  
3. Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.  
4. Lower the cover and cook the food according to desired temper-  
ature or doneness. Do not apply excessive force to close the lid  
and do not lock latch on handle.  
About Your Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker  
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.  
Note: The red warm-up light and green ready light are thermosta-  
tically controlled and will cycle during cooking to ensure that the  
correct temperate is maintained.  
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.  
Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.  
5. Remove the food using plastic or wooden utensils only to avoid  
damaging the nonstick coating. Never use metal tongs, forks, or a  
knife as these can damage the nonstick surface.  
6. When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the  
plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely  
before cleaning.

GRILLED VEGETABLE PANINI  
4 servings  
Helpful Hints  
• Be sure to always wash the grill plates after each use to remove  
any residue that may have accumulated.  
INGREDIENTS  
1 large focaccia bread, halved horizontally  
1 large red pepper, quartered  
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced thin  
1 tablespoon Italian dressing  
1/2 cup pesto sauce  
1 medium eggplant, sliced in 1/2-inch rounds  
1/2 cup Fontina cheese, shredded  
• Do not use sharp objects or attempt to cut food on top of the grill  
plates.  
• Always preheat for 5 minutes before use. Have all ingredients in  
place before cooking starts.  
• For best results, spread mayonnaise on both outer sides of panini  
sandwiches before cooking. This will give darker, crustier grill  
marks on the bread.  
METHOD  
1. Preheat Panini Maker.  
• 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.  
2. Grill red pepper in Panini Maker for about 5 minutes, or until tender.  
3. Put onion and eggplant in a bowl and cover with Italian dressing.  
4. Grill eggplant slices in Panini Maker for 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining  
eggplant and onion slices.  
• If additional sandwiches are desired, lower the lid to preserve  
the heat while you prepare the additional sandwiches.  
5. Spread bottom slice of focaccia bread with pesto sauce and top with cooked  
peppers. Top with grilled eggplant and onion. Top with shredded Fontina cheese.  
Cover with top slice of focaccia bread.  
• Let sandwiches cool slightly before eating. Cheese,  
especially, becomes very hot. Soft or melted fillings will  
firm slightly.  
6. Place assembled sandwiches in Panini Maker and toast until cheese melts,  
approximately 3 minutes.  
Care and Cleaning
