OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: When using the Sandwich Maker for the first time, the unit will emit a fine smoke. This is caused by heating of elements and new components, and will stop after the first or second use.
• Remove the product from the box and remove all packaging surrounding the product.
• Wipe the surface of the cooking plates with a damp cloth and then dry the plates with a soft dry cloth.
• Place the product on an even cooking surface, and unclip the lock on the side of the unit.
• Ensure the unit is closed, and then plug the power cord into the wall socket and switch on the power. The red light and green light will come on to indicate that the unit is on and heating.
• Wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil, butter or margarine. This will protect the non-stick surface of the plates during the pre-heating time. Once the unit reaches cooking temperature, the green light will turn off. If you wish, you can wipe off the excess oil, butter or margarine with a kitchen towel – please take care though, as the cooking plates will now be hot.
• Wait about five seconds, then lift the top cooking plate using the handle, and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking plate.
• Lower the top cooking plate slowly. The top cooking plate is on a floating hinge, and will automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich in the unit.
• Wait until the sandwich is toasted, usually about 6 to 8 minutes depending on how well browned you want your sandwich.
• When the sandwich is cooked as desired, lift the top cooking plate using the handle and remove the sandwich.
• Always use wooden or plastic cooking utensils to remove the sandwich, as this will extend the life of the non-stick coating on the plates.
• Close the top cooking plate. If you wish to make more sandwiches, allow the unit to re-heat to cooking temperature, and follow the same procedure to cook more sandwiches. If you are finished with the unit, unplug it from the wall socket and remove the plug from the wall socket.
HINTS FOR BETTER SANDWICHES
Breads:
• This unit can be used to toast most types of bread: White, Whole meal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin
Loaf, etc. Focaccia, Turkish Bread, Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls.
• Sweet breads, such as Raisin Bread and Brioche that contain higher sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
• For soft or liquid sandwich fillings, use medium sliced bread, white or brown. If a small amount of filling is being used, use toasting bread.
• The Sandwich Grill is ideal for toasting plain breads or Turkish breads with no fillings or toppings. Try toasting Turkish breads with jams for a great alternative to standard bread at breakfast.
Fillings:
CAUTION! Always take care when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese, tomato and jam, as they are very hot.
Fat Free Snacks:
It is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of the toasted snack since the sandwich grill has a non-stick flat plate design.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• After use, wait for the unit to cool properly before cleaning and storage.
• Wipe the inside and edges of the heating plate with absorbent paper towel or a soft cloth.
• Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the heating plate and reheat the unit for two minutes. Wait for the unit to cool for five minutes then try to remove the filling again.
• Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
• The body of the appliance should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water enter the appliance or the stand.
• Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance as it can damage the finish.
• To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry and soft cloth.
