• 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.
Making a toasted sandwich
1. Brush or wipe the toasting plates with oil or butter.
2. 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.
3. When the appliance reaches the correct temperature for cooking, the green heating indicator will light up.
4. Release the lock and open the sandwich maker.
5. Cover one side of a piece of bread with butter or margarine.
6. 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.
7. Put your sandwich filling on the unbuttered (upward) side of the bread.
8. Place a slice of buttered bread on the topping, making sure the plain side is against the topping. The buttered
side should face upwards.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Use a wooden or heat-proof plastic slice to remove your hot sandwich without damaging the non-stick
coating on the cooking plates.
12. Before preparing another toasted sandwich, close the appliance and wait for it to reach the correct
temperature again (indicated by the green light).
13. 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.
Notes
• The built-in thermostat will maintain an appropriate cooking temperature, causing the green light to switch
on and off during cooking.
• We recommend using sliced bread in the sandwich maker. The best results can be obtained from using
‘toasting’ or thick sliced bread, which tends to have the best size and thickness for making toasted
sandwiches.
• Cooking time will depend on the type of bread, the filling and your personal preference.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Warning! Always unplug the sandwich maker and make sure it has cooled down completely
before opening and cleaning it.
Never immerse the appliance in water or hold it under running water.
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
2. Before you start cleaning, ensure the appliance has cooled down completely.
3. Wipe the cooking plates using a smooth cloth that’s been moistened with gentle liquid detergent. Next, wipe
them with a piece of chamois leather or a smooth lint-free cloth that’s been moistened with warm water.
Finally, dry the plates using a smooth lint-free cloth.
4. Clean the outside cover with a piece of chamois leather or a smooth lint-free cloth that’s been moistened
with warm water. Dry the cover using a smooth lint-free cloth. Take care not to allow any moisture inside the
casing of the appliance.
5. When cleaning the appliance, never use solvent (acetone, benzole, petrol, alcohol, etc.) as these may solve
the casing material, or the internal parts of the appliance if they get into. Do not use cleaning agents with
coarse or grinding effect.
6. Only store the appliance when it’s been cleaned and has cooled down completely. We recommend placing
a piece of clean cloth or tissue paper between the cooking plates when storing them; this will avoid the
non-stick coating being scratched. Do not wind the power cable round the appliance as this can damage the
insulation. If you won’t be using the appliance for a longer period, put it in a plastic bag and store it in a dry,
dust-free place.
