Expert Review
If your panini press is only cooking on the bottom or you're finding one side is perfectly toasted while the other is barely warm, it’s a classic sign your upper element has packed in. This genuine Buffalo part is the exact fit you need. For a qualified engineer, it’s a relatively quick swap that'll have your grill back in action and churning out perfectly cooked food in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect from mains power before installation.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and correct.
- Verify the element is fitted securely before reassembly.
- Keep grill plates clean to protect the element's lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my upper heating element has failed?
A: The most common signs are the top grill plate not heating up at all, or heating unevenly, resulting in poorly cooked food.
Q: Is this element compatible with a single Buffalo contact grill?
A: No, this part is specifically for the upper plate on the listed double contact grill models.
Q: Is it difficult to replace this part?
A: For safety and to ensure correct installation, we strongly recommend that any electrical component is fitted by a qualified commercial catering engineer.
