Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any promotional materials and

packaging materials before use. Check that the

cooking plates are clean and free of dust.

If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.

When using the sandwich press for the

ﬁrst time you may notice a ﬁne smoke haze.

This is caused by the heating of some of the

components. There is no need for concern.

TOASTED SANDWICH

1. Insert the power plug into a 230V or 240V

power outlet and then turn the power ON.

The red ‘POWER’ light will illuminate.

2. Allow the sandwich press to pre-heat with

the top cooking plate in the closed position

until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

3. During this time, prepare the sandwich.

When the sandwich press has pre-heated,

place the sandwich onto the bottom

cooking plate. Always place sandwiches

towards the rear of the bottom

cooking plate.

4. Close the top cooking plate. The top

cooking plate has a ﬂoating hinge that

is designed to evenly press down on the

sandwich (see Fig 1).

Fig. 1

5. Toasting should take approximately

5–8 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a

matter of taste. It will also depend on the

type of bread and type of ﬁlling used.

6. When the sandwich is cooked, use the

handle to open the sandwich press and raise

the top cooking plate. Remove sandwich

with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula.

Never use metal tongs or a knife as these

can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

NOTE

• Always allow the sandwich press to pre-heat

until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

• The safety locking storage clip should not be

used to clamp down the top cooking plate

when the sandwiches are in the sandwich

press. The weight of the top cooking plate

will gradually press down the sandwich

during the cooking process.

• When using the sandwich press for the

ﬁrst time you may notice a ﬁne smoke haze.

This is caused by the heating of some of the

components. There is no need for concern.

CAUTION

HOT SURFACE - The temperature of

accessible surfaces may be high when the

appliance is operating and for some time

after use.

Fully unwind the cord from the cord storage

facility before use.

Your sandwich press features an Adjustable

Height Control feature which allows you to ﬁx

the top plate to a range of positions above the

bottom plate. This allows your sandwich press

to be used as an open toaster ideal for toasting

open sandwich melts. It can also be used for

toasting sandwiches where you don’t need to

apply the weight of the top plate.

OPEN SANDWICH MELTS

1. Allow the sandwich press to pre-heat until

the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

2. Place sandwich to be melted on

bottom plate.

3. Move the Adjustable Height Control clip on

the right hand side of the sandwich press to

the desired height (see Fig 2).

4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on

the Adjustable Height Control clip.

5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat to

melt ingredients such as cheese.

6. Toasting melts should take approximately

3–4 minutes. However exact toasting time

will be a matter of taste. It will also depend

on the height of the top plate.

Adjustable Height Control

Toasts or melts any bread

thickness in minutes.

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

NOTE

The Adjustable Height Control can be moved

to accommodate thick or thin melts by sliding

the clip forwards or backwards along the arm.

Tips

BREAD

Most types of bread can be used; white,

wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin

loaf and so on. The sandwich press is ideal for

toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, baguettes

as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or

other sweet breads which contain a high sugar

content will tend to brown quicker.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as

fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when

heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches

containing ﬁllings such as cheese and tomato

or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten

too quickly.

TOASTING BREAD

The unique ﬂat plate design makes the

sandwich press ideal for toasting plain breads,

and Turkish bread, without any ﬁllings or

spreads. Try toasting Turkish Bread with jams

for a great alternative to standard breads

at breakfast.

FAT FREE SNACKS

Due to the non-stick ﬂat plate design, it is not

necessary to use any butter or margarine on

the outside of your toasted snacks.

Care & Cleaning

Before cleaning, switch the power off at the

power outlet and then remove the power plug.

Allow your sandwich press to cool before

cleaning. The appliance is easier to clean when

slightly warm.

Always clean your sandwich press after each

use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.

Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked

on food is not removed by this method reheat

the unit for 1–2 minutes, then brush with a

little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for ﬁve

minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.

NOTE

• The cooking plates are coated with a

non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.

• Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as

this will affect the performance of the

non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

STORAGE

To store your sandwich press:

1. Switch off at power outlet and unplug power

cord from the wall.

2. Allow the sandwich press to fully cool.

3. Slide the Adjustable Height Control

towards the front handle to the ‘LOCK’

position so that the top and bottom cooking

plates are locked together (see Fig 4).

Fig. 4

4. Wrap the power cord in the cord storage

area below the appliance (see Fig 5).

Fig.5

5. Store on a ﬂat, dry, level surface.

NOTE

The storage clip should not be used to clamp

down the top plate when sandwiches are in

the sandwich press.

WARNING

Do not immerse any part of the sandwich press

in water or any other liquid.
