Preparing Your Appliance:
1. Connect the unit to the electrical supply. The red indicator light will turn on to
show that the appliance is pre-heating.
2. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs. During this time prepare your
sandwich ingredients.
3. The appliance is ready for use once the green indicator goes out. This will take
approximately 5 minutes.
Note:
Initially, the appliance may release a slight harmless odour and smoke. This
is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the heating elements and
should not re-occur.
Preparing sandwiches:
1. Butter the bread and place the desired fillings within.
2. Lift the safety catch and open the sandwich maker. Place the sandwiches on
the heating plates.
3. Close the casing to ensure that the sandwiches are cooked evenly.
4. Lock the safety catch.
5. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes for each sandwich. The red light will
turn on and off as the thermostat keeps the sandwich maker at the proper
baking temperature.
CAUTION:
The appliance is not to be operated in the open position.
CAUTION:
The cooking surface is hot; handle with care.
Serving your sandwiches:
1. Remove the sandwiches from the heating plates with a plastic or wooden
spatula.
2. Be careful with your sandwiches, as the fillings will be quite hot.
3. Allow the sandwiches to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
Tips:
•
Always preheat your sandwich maker fully.
•
Ensure the lid of the sandwich maker is down whilst preheating.
•
Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be used to coat the outside of your
bread.
•
Light/Low fat versions of margarines are not recommended as they do not
withstand heat.
•
Fillings: Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off
excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into toasted sandwiches
containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and
can burn if eaten too quickly.
•
Processed cheeses tend to ‘run’ under higher temperatures.
•
Pat moist ingredients (such as sliced tomatoes and fruits) dry before adding to
your sandwich.
•
Allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2 -3 minutes after removing them from the
sandwich maker. This helps the fillings cool slightly, meaning they will run less.
