INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using your Cuisinart
®
Sandwich
Maker for the first time, remove all protective
paper and wrapping. Remove any dust from
shipping by wiping the plates with a damp
cloth.
2.
To preheat the Sandwich Maker, close lid and
plug cord into a wall outlet. The red light will
go on to signal power. The green indicator
light will go on when unit is ready to use.
NOTE:
The first time you use your Sandwich
Maker, it may have a slight odor and may
smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to
appliances with a nonstick surface.
3. When the green indicator light goes on, place
ingredients on bottom plate according to
recipes provided. Close the lid and lock it.
4. The green light will go off and the red light
will once again illuminate. It may take several
seconds for the red light to come on. This is
normal.
5. Once the cooking cycle is finished, the green
light will come on again.*
6. Unlock, lift lid and remove food by gently
loosening the edges with a heatproof plastic
spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they
may damage the nonstick coating.
7. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet once cooking is completed.
* See specific instructions for cooking eggs on
page 6.
TIPS AND HINTS FOR
USING YOUR CUISINART
®
SANDWICH MAKER
Preheat Cuisinart
®
Sandwich Maker completely
before using. For quick-to-assemble sandwiches
and pastries, preheat the Sandwich Maker while
preparing the food to be grilled.
Close the lid, but do not lock the Sandwich Maker
while preheating. When preparing more than one
batch of sandwiches, keep lid closed to maintain
even heat.
You may use a variety of breads with excellent
results in the Cuisinart
®
Sandwich Maker, from
whole wheat to cinnamon raisin for sweeter
sandwiches. Breads that are a “standard”
thickness (approximately ½ inch) are best.
For best results, we recommend that the bread be
as close as possible to the size of the sandwich
plate (5 x 4
1
⁄
2
inches). Breads may be trimmed
prior to cooking to fit as needed. Bread selections
may be hand sliced from whole loaves. (Use the
scraps to make fresh breadcrumbs or in sweet or
savory bread puddings. Visit
www.cuisinart.com
for recipes.)
NOTE:
When assembling sandwiches, leave at
least a ½-inch border around the edges of the
bread for optimal sealing.
Butter, margarine, or olive oil are recommended
for coating the outside of bread when making
sandwiches. “Light” versions of margarines are
not recommended, as they do not withstand
heat (check manufacturer’s labels for cooking
recommendations for best results).
Have butter or margarine at room temperature
when spreading on bread, or melt and apply with
a pastry brush.
For best results, moist ingredients, such as sliced
tomatoes or fruits, pickles, etc., should be blotted
or patted dry with a paper towel. Sauces, such
as tomato sauce or salsa, can be drained for a
short time in a strainer lined with a coffee filter to
remove excess liquid.
Use well-drained, leftover cooked vegetables
or thawed, well-drained frozen vegetables as
additions to your sandwiches and omelets.
Firm-textured breads will yield a crispier sandwich
than breads with a softer texture.
Use a heatproof silicone spatula or wooden
utensil to lift sandwich/pastry/omelet from the
Cuisinart
®
Sandwich Maker. Avoid using metal
utensils, which may scratch the nonstick coating
of the Sandwich Maker.
For best results, allow hot sandwiches to rest
for 2–3 minutes before cutting and serving. The
fillings will be very hot, and will run less if allowed
to cool slightly.
Unplug the Sandwich Maker and allow unit to
cool completely with lid open before cleaning.
