before using your sandwich press

Before use

Never immerse any part of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any

other liquid.

Before connecting to a power source, make sure your supply voltage is the same

as the one indicated on the appliance.

1. Remove any promotional labels and/or stickers from your sandwich press before use.

2. Place your sandwich press on a at, level surface. Open the storage lock to release

the top plate and open it.

3. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with

a damp cloth.

Storage lock

The storage lock must be unlocked before using the sandwich press otherwise the lid

cannot be opened. When storing or transporting the sandwich press, the storage lock

must be locked.

The storage lock must not be used to clamp down the top plate when the sandwiches

are in your sandwich press or for pre-heating. The weight of the top cooking plate will

gradually press down the sandwich during cooking.

using your sandwich press

Take care around hot surfaces. The hot 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 rst 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 oating 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 lling 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.

Bread

Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin

loaf and so on. Your sandwich press is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, bagettes

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 llings such as cheese and

tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

Toasting bread

The unique at plate design makes your sandwich press ideal for toasting plain breads,

and Turkish bread, without any llings or spreads. Try toasting Turkish Bread with jams

for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.

Reheating

If the sandwich is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb

condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a

low oven, about 100ºC. The sandwich will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will

then begin to dry out.

Fat free snacks

Due to the non-stick cooled at plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or

margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.

using your sandwich press

care and cleaning

Always unplug your appliance before cleaning it.

Never immerse any part of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any

other liquid.

Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or cleaning materials.

1. Switch off and unplug the sandwich press from the mains supply.

2. Allow your sandwich press to cool slightly. The unit is easier to clean when slightly

warm.

3. Always clean your sandwich press after each use to prevent a build up of baked on

foods.

4. Wipe the 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 ve minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.

5. To clean the outside of the sandwich press wipe over with a damp cloth. Polish with a

soft dry cloth.

To avoid damaging the non-stick coating on the cooking plates, do not use harsh or

abrasive cleaning materials.

Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings because they will affect the performance of the

non-stick coatings on the cooking plates.

Storage

1. Allow the sandwich press to cool fully before storing and ensure that the unit is clean.

2. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area below the unit.

3. Lock the plates together using the storage lock by rst lowering the top plate and

then pressing the clip into the handle. This will secure the plates together.

4. Store the unit on a at, level surface, away from the edge and where it cannot be

easily knocked over.
