4. Wipe the outside of the Grill Housing with a soft damp cloth. NEVER immerse the Grill, power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.

5. Close the Grill.

6. Plug into the wall outlet and heat for 10 minutes. This will burn off any residue from the manufacturing process. NOTE: There may be a small amount of smoke or odour during this time but it will not last longer than a few minutes.

HOW TO USE

Grilling

1. Place your Sandwich Grill on a flat dry surface close to a 120 volt wall outlet.

2. Close the Grill and plug into a 120 volt A.C. outlet, the Red ‘Power’ Light will illuminate. As soon as the Grill is plugged into the wall outlet it will start to heat up. When the Green ‘Ready’ Light comes on, the Grill has reached the correct temperature to start cooking.

3. Open the Grill and place sandwich on the Bottom Grill Plate. Close the Lid and press down gently. The Floating Hinge will adjust to the height of the sandwich and the weight of the Top Grill Plate will gradually and evenly press the sandwich down during cooking. NOTE: The Green

‘Ready’ Light will turn on and off as the Grill cycles to keep the correct cooking temperature.

4. Grill until food is done to your taste. The toasting time will depend on the type and thickness of bread and personal taste. Check doneness during toasting by lifting the Top Plate by the Handle. NOTE: Check the progress about every 2 minutes as the food is cooking rapidly from both the top and bottom. NOTE: All parts of the Grill, except the Handle, will be very hot during and after toasting. DO NOT touch any parts of the

Grill except the Handle until the unit cools.

IMPORTANT:

• Steam may escape from around the edges. Use oven mitts when opening and closing the Grill.

• DO NOT cut food on the non-stick Grill Plates.

4

Booklet_TSG710_Eng_Salton Booklet 5/27/11 12:08 PM Page 5

5. When toasting is complete, lift the Top Cooking Plate by the Handle and remove the sandwich using a plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils as they may scratch the non-stick cooking plates.

6. When finished grilling, unplug the Grill and remove the food.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave empty Grill plugged in.

HELPFUL GRILLING HINTS

1. Always preheat the Grill until the Green ‘Ready’ Light illuminates.

2. It is not necessary to use butter or margarine on the outside of sandwiches although a thin coating of butter or margarine on the outer surfaces of the bread will speed up browning and enhance flavour.

3. Most types of bread can be used. Breads with a high sugar content will brown more quickly.

4. DO NOT use fresh fruit in fillings.

5. DO NOT use non-stick cooking sprays.

6. Sandwich filling can get very hot. Be careful when biting into sandwiches.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug the Grill from the wall outlet and allow it to cool completely.

2. Wipe the Cooking Plates with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm soapy water. For stubborn spots, cover with a small amount of cooking oil and leave on for several minutes. Remove with a paper towel. Wipe Cooking

Plates with a damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR METAL UTENSILS.

3. Wipe exterior Grill surfaces with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE GRILL

HOUSING IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be of a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
