BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT: Ensure all packaging, labels and tags have been removed before
connecting to the power for the first Lime.
e Position the Sandwich Press in a well ventilated area, on a firm, level, heat-
resistant surface, clear of curtains, drapes and other combustible materials.
* Clean the cooking plates thoroughly using a soft damp cloth and dry with a
kitchen towel. Lightly wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil. This will help to
cure and protect the nonstick cooking plates when heated for the first time.
* With the lid closed, connect the Sandwich Press to the wall power outlet and
switch it on. The red power and green temperature lights will illuminate.
* When the Sandwich Press has reached operating temperature, the green light
will extinguish. The green light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains
the temperature.
« After several cycles of the green temperature light, switch off the power and
allow the cooking plates to cool. Wipe the plates clean with a soft cloth.
* The Sandwich Press is now ready for general use.
NOTE: When operating the Sandwich Press for the first time, the unit may emit an odour
and a small amount of vapour as the new elements and cooking plates cure; this is normal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is a good idea to apply a light coating of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the
non-sfick cooking plates before each use,
* Connect the Sandwich Press to the wall power outlet and switch it on. The red
power and green temperature lights will illuminate.
« When the Sandwich Press has reached operating temperature, the green light
will extinguish (the green light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains
thetemperature).
= Raise the top cooking plate using the handle and place the sandwich on the
bottom cooking plate.
* Lower the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge and will
automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich as it closes.
« A sandwich may take 6-8 minutes to cook, depending on the preferred level of
browning required and the type of bread used.
« Carefully monitor the cooking process as the cooking times required for differant
bread types can vary significantly.
« When the sandwich is cooked as desired, lift the top cooking plate using the
handle. Remove the sandwich using a plastic, silicone or wooden utensil.
CAUTION: Never use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.
« When finished, switch off the wall power outlet and remove the plug.
Allow the unit to cool and wipe the plates clean.
* (Close the top lid and press the handle lock to lock the top into the closed
position for storage.
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
TYPES OF BREAD:
« The Sandwich Press can be used to toast any shape, thickness and most types
of bread; White, Wholemeal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, Focaccias, Turkish
Bread, Sourdough, Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls.
* Each bread type will require a different amount of time cooking, so be sure to
monitor your sandwich whilst cooking.
* Dense breads such as Sourdough, Turkish Bread or Rye Bread will take longer to
toast than lighter breads such as White, Wholemeal or Bread Rolls.
+ Sweet breads, such as Fruit Bread, that have a higher sugar content will tend to
brown quicker than non-sweetened bread.
FILLINGS:
* You can toast any filling you like in your sandwich, sweet or savoury. The flat
plate design also makes the Sandwich Press ideal for toasting bread without any
fillings or spreads.
CAUTION: Always take care when biting into a freshly toasted sandwich containing
fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as they retain heat and could scald your mouth.
= It is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted
snack because the Sandwich Press has non-stick plates.
HE: When toasting ingredients that melt when heated and can spill out the sides of your
snack (such as cheese, mayonnaise or jam), a very light coating of cooking oil, butter or
margarine on the plates will assist with cleaning the plates and prolong the lifespan of the
non-stick surface, whilst adding minimum fat to your sandwich.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
« After use, wait for the unit to cool properly before cleaning and storing.
= Wipe the inside and edges of the heating plates 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 re-heat 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.
