Adcraft panini grill top will not stay open.

De'Longhi has the instruction manual for the CGH800 Panini Grill on the product support page. Click on the Support tab from the product page: http://www.delonghi.com/en-us/products/kitchen/kitchen-appliances/indoor-grills/cgh800-0179415002 . Look on the right hand side of the page. The direct link to the manual is http://www.delonghi.com/Global/InstructionManuals/EN/CGH800%20ENGLISH.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Hi, sounds like your element blew. you will need to contact your local appliance repair facility for repair. There are no user serviceable parts...

Check the Star products/ manuals at www.middleby.com

my 4 in 1 grill one of the grills is stuck because someone put the lower grill on the upper part I can't get it off help I am dying for a panini!

If you feel confident opening the appliance (while disconnected from the mains of course!)

1. Check the internal cable between the bottom part of the unit and the top part. If this is damaged or tests to be open circuit, it will require replacing.

2. If the cable is OK, check the continuity on the heating element in the top half of the machine. If it is open circuit, then the element will require replacing.

You will have to use a screw extractor to remove the broken off pieces that are still in the grill. You have to drill a hole into the remaining bolts and then tap or screw in the screw extractor. Turn counterclockwise and they will come out. Home Depot may have the allen head screws that hold down the bar.

MY COMPUTER WOULD NOT GET THE WEB PAGE TO PRINT IT, SO FRIEND DID iT FOR ME , AND i NOW HAVE THE INSTUCTIONS. THANK YOU ..

Follow Up From Postee: Determined that by simply removing the back cover (phillips Head Screw) that there is a brass clamp over the pivoting bar that has an alan head screw on either side. Simply tighten both sides and the lid will stay up. Done.

There is a brass block with 2 allen bolts on the hinge bar. Tighten those screws.
