1. Fit the appropriate upper and lower cooking plates depending on whether you are preparing a toasted
sandwich, waffles or grilled food.
2. Warning! Make sure the sandwich maker has cooled down completely before removing or replacing the
cooking plates.
3. To remove the cooking plates, pull back both release buttons (part no.8 on the diagram).
4. To insert your chosen cooking plates, ensure the pins on the back of the cooking plate fit into the
corresponding holes in the appliance. Make sure the plates are fixed in place before using the sandwich
maker.
Making a toasted sandwich
1. Fit the sandwich toasting plates into the appliance as described above.
2. Brush or wipe the toasting plates with oil or butter.
3. The toasting plates need to be pre-heated before you place any food in the appliance. To do this, close the
lock (part no.4) and connect the sandwich maker to mains power. The power indicator will glow red when
power is connected and the toasting plates are being heated.
4. When the appliance reaches the correct temperature for cooking, the green heating indicator will light up.
5. Release the lock and open the sandwich maker.
6. Cover one side of a piece of bread with butter or margarine.
7. Place the slice of buttered bread on the lower toasting plate with the buttered side touching the plate. You
can place a second slice on the adjacent lower plate if you want to make two toasted sandwiches.
8. Put your sandwich filling on the unbuttered (upward) side of the bread.
9. Place a slice of buttered bread on the topping, making sure the plain side is against the topping. The buttered
side should face upwards.
10. Close the appliance carefully, using the lock to fasten the upper and lower plates. Steam can escape from the
sandwich maker when it’s being closed; this can cause burns and may also stain nearby furniture or walls, so
always take care when closing the appliance.
11. After toasting your sandwich for the appropriate time, release the lock and open the sandwich maker. Take
care to avoid being burned by any steam that escapes from the appliance.
12. Use a wooden or heat-proof plastic slice to remove your hot sandwich without damaging the non-stick
coating on the cooking plates.
13. Before preparing another toasted sandwich, close the appliance and wait for it to reach the correct
temperature again (indicated by the green light).
14. When you’ve finished using the sandwich maker, unplug it from the mains socket. Wait for it to cool down
completely and then clean it as described in the ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’ section.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Before use
• Remove all the packaging from the sandwich maker and its accessories, then check to make sure everything
is complete and undamaged. You should only use the appliance if it is in full working order and all the correct
parts are present. After this inspection, clean the sandwich maker as described in the ‘Maintenance and
cleaning’ section.
• Before using the sandwich maker for the first time, connect it to the mains and switch it on for several
minutes without any food between the cooking plates. A distinctive odour may be noticed, although this will
soon stop.
• Always ensure the sandwich maker is used in a well-ventilated area.
Using of appliance
Place the appliance on a stable, flat heat-resistant surface before using it. Do not over-fill the
sandwich maker. You should be able to close the upper cooking plate gently without forcing it.
Excess pressure can damage the mechanical components of the sandwich maker, which could
lead to an electrical fault. This type of damage results from incorrect use and is not covered by the
warranty.
