BEFORE FIRST USE

• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the
packaging for future use.
• Wipe the cooking plates with absorbent paper or a soft damp
cloth.
• Clean the outside of your sandwich toaster with a soft damp
cloth which has been wrung almost dry in warm soapy water.
The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.
Note that the first time you use your sandwich toaster, you may
notice a slight burning smell and a little smoke. This is completely
normal and will soon disappear.
USING YOUR SANDWICH TOASTER
1. Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket. The
green power light will come on and your sandwich toaster will
start heating up.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the temperature light
will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread
suitable for cooking. Don't use a low fat spread or one which
has a high water content.
4. Place the two lower slices of bread onto the bottom plate
'buttered' side down. Face the crusts of the bread to the left and
right (fig. 1).
5. Add the filling. The deeper cooking plates allow you to use more
of your favourite ingredients but always leave a 2cm gap around
the filling (fig. 2). This will allow your sandwich toaster to form
a good seal and prevent the filling from leaking out. For best
results, the maximum amount of cheese, when used as a single
ingredient, should not exceed 60g. If you add other ingredients,
reduce the amount of cheese to compensate for them.
6. Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side on the
outside (this will give your toasted sandwich a lovely golden
colour during cooking).
