In order to prevent unwanted build-up of oils, grease, and food, surfaces should be cleaned after use while still slightly warm. Harsh chemicals or scouring pads should not be used—only hot water and a cloth or sponge are needed. If some areas require extra cleaning, a mild scouring pad can be used.
Is it possible to change the type of grill plate on my panini grill from smooth to grooved, or vice versa?
No, the manufacturer does not recommend changing the grill plate type on your panini grill. In the event that a replacement plate is needed, the plate type must match the one currently on your grill.

We use these daily, and they produce an excellent crispy finish to our Paninis. We have 4 of them, and 1 stopped working, but repair at a local shop was covered by warranty and it's working like a charm.

The Waring WPG250 Panini Supremo has been one of the best additions to our restaurant. It heats up fast, handles high-volume orders with ease, and cooks everything evenly, which has really improved our consistency during busy hours. The large cooking surface lets us make multiple sandwiches at once, speeding up our service and keeping customers happy. It’s durable, reliable, and has truly made a noticeable difference in our shop’s efficiency.

It takes about 50 minutes to reach the maximum temperature. Cleaning is much more difficult than I expected, and there are too many residues stuck between the grill grates, making it hard to clean

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this grill ! it works great. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but if you want quality, you have to spend the money. The grill is easy to use, heats up quickly and will make the best melt sandwich you will ever taste. There are only two down sides I see with this grill. It's a bit heavy, and you have to be very careful when this thing gets hot. Make sure you monitor small children when operating the grill. Also , it's a bit of a pain to clean .I don't use my grill very often , but I do love the grill and don't mind the hassle of cleaning it after using it. Trust me, you won't go wrong with this purchase.

Top half of press is heavy and doesn't have proper support. The lid has fallen and squished sandwiches on press. Also can be dangerous if your hand is putting a sandwich on when it falls! It stopped heating up one day and we contacted Waring; they sent us a new one when we sent the broken one back. Solid warranty for a so-so product. Not great for all-day restaurant use.

We got this unit to replace a Waring unit that quit working after many, many years of service. We liked that unit so much that we replaced it with the same exact one. These are great machines! We have a couple paninis on one of our menus, and this Waring grooved top sandwich grill cooks them perfectly.
Our sandwiches cook evenly no matter where they are placed on the grill, and the capacity is perfect for us-- you can fit 4 or so full sized sandwiches all at the same time.

Thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the panini press you bought recently. Try this Waring Grooved Panini Sandwich Grill for a more powerful option.

Great grill, the grill part is very sturdy and easy to keep clear of charred food. Our only complaint is the hinges keep getting loose and the grill will either stay completely open or completely closed. Yes, I would buy another one.

This unit is a workhorse. All the other Panini machines burn out after a short time, (under a yr.) I bought this one approximately 2 yrs. ago and it is going strong. It heats up quickly and cooks evenly. It easily fits 2 paninis for faster serving times. I'm very happy with this Waring unit.

I love this panini grill. I have a food truck and when I get a lot of the same orders, I can do 4 sandwiches. It's quick and I absolutely love it.
A big thanks to WEBstaurant for getting my equipment to me quickly.
This panini grill is a money maker for me.
