Panini Maker
• Ribbed Grill Plate
and Multipurpose Grill

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.
• Drip Drawer
Side Handles •
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.

Adding and Removing Plates
Using Your Panini Maker
Caution: Always ensure that your Panini Grill is unplugged and has
completely cooled prior to removing or adding plates.
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.
Assembling the Plates
1
Completely pull out Drip Drawer prior to use. Place drip tray
Standing in front of your unit grasp the bottom plate
and line of the two rear locking pins on the back of
the plate with the receptacles in the rear of the unit.
Gently lay the plate down and apply downward
pressure to snap the front plate locks into place
(see figure 1)
underneath grease runoff so that any drippings will fall into the tray.
2
Preheat the grill to the desired temperature. Close the cover and
plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC outlet only. The red light will turn on
indicating that the appliance is preheating. After approximately 8
minutes, the green light will turn on indicating that the appliance
is preheated and ready for use.
figure 1
3
Open the lid using the black handle only, being careful not to touch
any hot surfaces such as the housing or grill plates. We recommend
the use of oven mitts or potholders to prevent the risk of injury.
The top plate is identified by the nub which
appears on the reverse side towards the front (see
figure 2). Align the two rear locking pins on the back
of the top plate with the two receptacles in the top
housing. Gently press the plate in until it locks
into place.
4
5
Place items to be cooked on the bottom grill plate.
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.
figure 2
Note: The green ready light is thermostatically controlled and
will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is maintained.
Removing the Grill Plates
With your unit in the open position, remove the
bottom plate by pressing down on the bottom plate
locks located on the front of the unit (see figure 3)
while lifting the plate up and towards you.
Important: Grill only with the lid in the closed position.
6
When you have finished using your appliance, disconnect the
plug from the wall and allow the unit to cool down completely
before cleaning.
figure 3
With your unit in the open position, press down on
the single top plate lock located in the center front
of your unit while keeping one hand on the plate
itself. (see figure 4). Guide the plate forward with
your hand and lift up to remove.

Grilled Vegetable Panini

•
Be sure to always wash the grill plates after each use to remove any
residue that may have accumulated.
4 servings
INGREDIENTS
Do not use sharp objects or attempt to cut food on top of the
grill plates.
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
Always preheat for 8 minutes until the green ready light illuminates
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.
•
•
Do not use metal utensils, as this may damage the nonstick surface
of the grill plates.
METHOD
1
Set your adjustable temperature control between settings
8 and 10 and allow your Panini Maker to preheat until the green
ready light illuminates.
If additional sandwiches are desired, lower the lid to preserve the
heat while you prepare the additional sandwiches.

Grill red pepper in Panini Maker for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
Put onion and eggplant in a bowl and cover with Italian dressing.
•
•
Let sandwiches cool slightly before eating. Cheese, especially,
becomes very hot. Soft or melted fillings will firm slightly.
Grill eggplant slices in Panini Maker for 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with
remaining eggplant and onion slices.
The “High” setting on the dial was designed for searing and
blackening. It is also excellent for grilling tuna steaks. Simply place a
1-inch tuna steak on ribbed grill plates for 1 - 2 minutes for a perfect
medium rare, or to desired doneness.

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.
Place assembled sandwiches in Panini Maker and toast until cheese
melts, approximately 3 minutes.
