ASSEMBLING YOUR STACK-A-SNACK AND USING

FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. The upper and lower rings, and middle plate all lift

out of the Stack-a-Snack for easy cleaning.

2. Wash the rings and middle plate in hot soapy water,

then rinse and dry thoroughly.

3. Wipe the hotplates with a damp soapy cloth, then

wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

4. Before you start cooking, slot the rings and middle

plate correctly back into the hotplate hinges, so they

are secure and sit ﬂat on the lower hotplate. The

middle plate heatproof handle should be on the left-

hand side.

5. When you switch on the Stack-a-Snack for the ﬁrst

time there may be a slight burning smell. This is

normal for a new product and will disappear after

a few uses.

WARNING – HOT SURFACES

All surfaces marked with this symbol will get very

hot during use. To prevent injury, DO NOT TOUCH.

Let the product cool completely before touching those

surfaces.

When adding food to the Stack-a-Snack, always use the

lid handle and heatproof handles to lift the lid, rings

and hotplate. Take great care not to touch any other

surfaces – they will be hot.

Use oven gloves when cooking with the Stack-a-snack.

Take care when opening the Stack-a-Snack as burning-

hot steam can escape.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

We recommend placing the Stack-a-Snack on a heatproof board or baking tray to catch

any juices that may escape during cooking.

Plug into the socket and switch on. The orange power light will come on to show the

Stack-a-Snack is switched on.

For ease, the product has one temperature setting. After a few minutes, the green ready

light will come on to show the hotplates have heated up and the Stack-a-Snack is ready to

use.

The beauty of this hot toasted sandwich maker is trying out your favourite ingredients

and coming up with tasty new recipes adapted from the ones in this booklet. Cooking

times will vary depending on the foods you choose, so lift the lid to check, and cook for a

couple more minutes if needed. Here are two quick and easy ideas to get you started.

ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES AND HINTS AND TIPS

Once you’ve tried some of the recipes in this booklet, you may wish to adapt them, using our

suggestions as a guide.

Cooking times will vary depending on the foods you choose, so lift the lid and cook for a

couple more minutes if needed.

Just like any toasted sandwich maker, don’t overﬁll the Stack-a-Snack as the ingredients will

not cook through properly and they may escape from the sides.

Always wait for the green ready light before adding food. Ingredients may escape from the

sides if the hotplates are not fully heated ﬁrst.

Apart from burgers, meats should always be pre-cooked before placing in the Stack-a-Snack.

Bread and bagels which are too big can be trimmed to ﬁt with cookie cutters.

Sweeter breads such as fruit loaf or gingerbread need less cooking time, as their sugar content

means they brown more quickly.

When cooking eggs, brush or spray a little oil on the walls of the rings to prevent sticking.

The product should not be used for cooking or defrosting frozen food.

Do not force the lid if the Stack-a-Snack will not close completely. Simply rest the upper

hotplate on top of your snack to toast it.
