Starting-up the unit
Instructions for Use
Before you make the first sandwiches for consumption:
• Remove any packaging that is still present. Unwind the
mains lead completely.
• Clean the housing and the baking surfaces with a damp
cloth.
Non-stick coating
• Lightly grease the baking surfaces before the unit is used
for the first time.
• Use the appliance for about 10 minutes with the toasting
surfaces closed (see “Using the unit”).
• Remove the mains plug from the socket and allow the
device to cool down.
• Bake 3–4 sandwiches as a test.
NOTE:
• Any smoke or smells produced during this procedure
are normal. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not eat the first sandwich.
• After the device has cooled down, wipe the baking surfaces
off with a paper towel.
Electrical connection
1. Check whether the mains voltage that you want to use
matches the one of the device. You will find the information
about this on the type plate.
2. Insert the plug in a duly installed protective contact socket.
The red and green control lamps light up.
Using the unit
NOTE:
• Keep the baking surfaces closed while heating.
• Lightly spread the outside of the bread (the side coming
into contact with the toasting surfaces) with butter or mar-
garine. That way your sandwich can be easily removed
afterwards from the sandwich toaster.
• When the heating-up phase has finished, the green
control lamp goes off.
• The red control lamp remains on to show that the device
is working.
• Release the lid catch and fold the lid up until it remains
open.
• Insert a double sandwich into each side.
• Gently close the lid. Close the lid catch.
NOTE:
• The green control lamp switches on and off during
baking in order to maintain the baking temperature.
• The baking time depends on your individual taste.
The longer the sandwiches remain in the device, the
greater the level of browning.
• The baking section should always be closed in the
intervals between baking.
• Open the lid catch carefully and then fold up the lid.
• Remove the toasted sandwiches with a wooden fork or
similar item.
• Lightly grease the baking surfaces again as required after
each baking process.
CAUTION:
Do not use pointed or sharp objects to avoid damaging the
coating of the baking surfaces.
Switching Off
If you would like to interrupt operation or switch the device off,
remove the plug from the socket. The red control lamp goes off.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always pull out the plug from the mains socket before
cleaning and wait until the unit has cooled down.
• Do not immerse the device in water! It could result in an
electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any wire brush or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
Baking Surfaces
• Remove any food residues while they are still warm with a
damp cloth or paper towel.
• Wash off the baking surfaces with a soft sponge and soapy
water; then wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth. After drying please apply a thin film of edible oil
to the surface.
Housing
Clean the housing after use with a slightly damp cloth.
