Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like the plug in drawing (A). An adapter, as in drawing (B), should be used for connecting the appliance plug to two-prong receptacles. The grounding tab that extends from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in drawing (C) using a metal screw.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada and Europe.

1. Installing the batteries
   • Remove batteries from packaging
   • Open battery box cover
   • Install batteries as displayed on the inside of the battery box
   • Once batteries are properly secured, slide battery cover back into position until you hear a click and the cover is securely closed
   • Check timer to ensure power is supplied by pressing ▼
2. Installing timer into the unit
   • Always be sure the appliance is unplugged and cool prior to installing the timer
   • Insert timer into the port until side tabs lock into place
   • Your timer is now installed, operational and ready for use
3. Removing the reprogrammable timer
   • Always be sure that the appliance is unplugged and cool prior to removing the timer
   • To remove the timer, place your fingers on the two tabs on the sides of the timer and firmly depress while gently pulling towards you. This will release the timer unit.
   • If you have trouble using your fingers, you may use a flat head screw driver to gently press tabs and pull the timer out of position. Always use caution when using a metal tool to remove the timer so that you do not cause harm to the timer, the appliance or yourself.

Programming the Timer

NOTE: The CAC124 Timer will not automatically shut off your unit. Once your programmed time has lapsed, the unit will beep 5 times and the screen will go blank.

Program Manually

To manually program the timer, hold both ▼ and ▲ at the same time for four seconds. The timer will beep twice. After the second beep, use the ▼ and ▲ to scroll to your desired time setting up to 19:59.
HINT: For fast scroll, hold the button down until you’ve reached your desired time setting. The timer will automatically program the setting after five seconds. Now that you’ve programmed your time, you may press the ▼ button any time to start the timer. Once programmed, the timer will always default to the time setting until otherwise changed.

Program Using Count-Up Mode

Your reprogrammable timer allows you to program your time using count-up mode. This is convenient for when you need to first measure the time required to grill your sandwich before programming. Once you’ve started grilling, press the ▲ button to start the timer. When you’ve finished grilling, press both ▼ and ▲ to set the time. Once programmed, the timer will always default to this time setting until otherwise changed.

NOTE: When batteries are removed, the timer automatically defaults to the factory setting of 10 seconds.

SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Please note that the Waring® Commercial Panini/Toasting Grill will be too hot to handle immediately after use.

The panini grill has a thermal cut off safety device to avoid overheating. If panini grill shuts off automatically, unplug it and allow it to cool for 30 minutes in the open position. Plug back in and continue use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For best results, your panini grill must be cleaned thoroughly after each use with warm soapy water. Daily buildup of sediment left over from cooking can affect the performance of the grill plates.

The Waring® Commercial Panini Grills come with a cleaning brush (CAC105). The cleaning brush features heavy-duty bristles for initial removal of sediment from the cast iron plates. The brush also features a scraper custom designed to clean in between the ribs as well as the flat surfaces.

The exterior of unit may be cleaned by carefully wiping with a damp cloth.

Clean plates while the unit is warm, using warm soapy water and the cleaning tool provided. DO NOT USE COLD WATER ON WARM PLATES.

To clean drip tray, carefully remove tray, wash with warm soapy water and dry, or you may place the tray in the dishwasher. Tray must be completely dry before putting back into the unit.
