using your sandwich press
Take care around hot surfaces. The cooking plates get VERY HOT. DO NOT
touch any parts until completely cooled.
Steam will escape from all around the sandwich press during cooking and when
opening the lid.
Never leave your sandwich press unattended while in use.
Note:
During first use there may be a small amount of smoke and a slight burning odour.
This is completely normal and will clear within a few minutes.
1. Always fully unwind the power cord from the cord storage area of the appliance
before use. Insert the plug into a mains supply socket and switch the socket on.
2. Check that the cord is not overhanging the work surface. The power light (red) and
the ready-to-cook light (green) will both illuminate.
3. Allow your sandwich press to preheat in the closed position until the green ready-to-
cook indicator light goes out. The green ready-to-cook indicator light will turn on and
off during use.
4. During this time, prepare the sandwich. When ready, place it onto the bottom cooking
plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
5.
Close the top cooking plate which has a floating plate that is designed to evenly
press down on the sandwich. The lid must be closed for cooking.
6. Toasting should take approximately 5-8 minutes. The exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and the type of filling used.
7. When the sandwich is cooked, open the lid. Remove it using a plastic or wooden
spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-
stick coating.
