using your sandwich toaster
Before first use
Note that the first time you use your sandwich toaster, you may notice a slight burning
smell and a little smoke. This is completely normal and will soon disappear.
• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Remove and clean the plates in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and refit.
Using your sandwich toaster
1. Plug your toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required.
The red ‘power on’ light will light up and your sandwich toaster will start heating up.
Pre-heating will take about 6 minutes.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the green ready-to-cook light will light up.
This light will go on and off as your sandwich toaster maintains the right temperature.
3. Lightly brush the cooking plates with sunflower oil or spread the OUTSIDE of the
bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don’t use a low fat spread or one
which has a high water content.
4. Place the lower slice of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Form a
hollow with the back of a spoon and add 1-2 tbsp of the prepared filling. Don’t overfll
the sandwich or the filling will leak out Add the top slice of bread buttered side up and
close the lid gently and latch it. Take care because your sandwich toaster will be hot!
5. Allow the sandwich to toast for approximately 4-5 minutes. Leave the sandwich in the
toaster for more or less time according to taste.
6. Unlatch and open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam—use a tea towel or wear
oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula. Don’t use a
metal blade as this will damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
7. Once cooked, take care when eating, as fillings, especially fruit or tomato, can be
very hot.
