HINTS FOR BETTER SANDWICHES
Breads:
• This unit can be used to toast most types of bread: White, Wholemeal,
Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, Focaccia, Turkish Bread, Baguettes and bread rolls.
• Sweet breads, such as Raisin Bread and Brioche, that contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
• The Sandwich Press is ideal for toasting plain breads or Turkish breads with no fillings or toppings.
Fillings:
CAUTION: Always take care when biting into sandwiches as fillings may burn.
Fat Free Snacks:
It is NOT necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of the toasted snack because the sandwich press has Non-Stick Flat Plates.
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 re-heat the unit for two minutes. Wait for the unit to cool and then try to remove the filling again.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: When using the Sandwich Maker for the first time, the unit will emit a fine smoke. This is caused by the heating of the elements and the new components, and will stop after the first or second use.
1. Remove the product from the box and remove all packaging from the product.
2. Wipe the surface of the cooking plates with a damp cloth and then dry the plates with a soft dry cloth.
3. Place the product on an even cooking surface, and unclip the lock on the side of the unit.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Should you wish to do so, you can wipe off the excess oil, butter or margarine with a kitchen towel - please take care as the cooking plates will now be hot.
6. Wait about five seconds, then lift the top cooking plate using the handle, and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking plate.
7. 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.
8. Wait until the sandwich is toasted, usually about 6-8 minutes depending on desired colour.
9. Once the sandwich is cooked, 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.
10. Close the top cooking plate. Should you wish to make more sandwiches, allow the unit to re-heat to cooking temperature, and follow the same procedure. Should you be finished with the unit, remove the plug from the wall socket.
