condition the plates; lightly coat the cooking surfaces with solid vegetable
shortening or vegetable oil. Carefully follow suggested cleaning procedures
below. After a time, if the Panini (s) show signs of sticking, recondition as
needed.
6. To protect the premium quality non-stick surfaces, use only plastic, nylon or
wooden utensils.
7. To remove any butter baked onto the cooking plate, pour a small amount of
cooking oil onto the hardened butter. Allow to set for 5 minutes, and then wipe
softened butter off with a paper towel or soft cloth. To remove stubborn stains
used a plastic mesh puff or pad. A clean toothbrush works well to remove
baked-on butter from the grids. For best results, use only products with
directions stating they are safe for cleaning non-stick cooking surfaces. Do not
use steel wool or coarse scouring pads.
