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
Recipe ideas
Making toasties is easy and fun, they can be as creative or as
simple as you like and make great snacks whether eaten at home
or on the go.
Using basic ingredients delicious sweet or savoury meals can be
made in minutes, perfect for any time of the day. Here are some
classic toasted sandwich recipes that you may wish to try.
• Tuna Melt (tuna, onion, mayonnaise and cheese)
• Cheese and tomato
• Cheese, beans and ham
• Turkey, stuffing and cranberry
• Ham, Brie, mushrooms and rocket
• Bacon and cheese
• Chicken, red pepper and Brie
• Sweet chilli chicken
• Sausage and scrambled eggs
• Camembert and cranberry
• Chocolate and banana
Breads
For best results, use a supermarket own-label, medium, white sliced
bread. For variety, why not try using wholemeal bread, Danish-style
bread, seeded breads, sour dough and fruit breads.
Cheeses
Classic cheeses that melt easily like Cheddar, Gruyere and
Emmental make excellent toasties. We've included some different
cheeses in our recipes but why not experiment and get creative with
your own favourite cheeses!
The perfect toastie
Even if you are already familiar with using a sandwich toaster, it's
worth following the guidelines below.
1. Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket and
switch the socket on if required. The green power light will come
on and your sandwich toaster will start heating up.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the amber ready-
to-cook 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.
5. Add the filling. The deeper cooking plates allow you to use more
of your favourite ingredients but always allow a 2cm gap around
the filling. 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 toastie a lovely golden colour during
cooking).
7. Close and latch the lid and allow to cook for approx 4-5 minutes
until golden and cooked. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for
more or less time according to taste.
8. Release the latch and open the lid. Watch out for escaping
steam—use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the
cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula. Don't use a metal
blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
9. Once cooked, take care when eating as fillings, especially fruit
or tomato, can be very hot.
Important points:
• Always allow a 2cm gap around the filling.
• Never overfill your toastie.
• Too much filling can leak out and also make the latch difficult
to close.
CARE AND CLEANING
Unplug and switch off your sandwich toaster
and allow it to fully cool down before cleaning it.
Do not immerse the main body, cord set or plug in
water or liquid of any kind.
Never use steel wool, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaners or metallic utensils to clean your sandwich
toaster.
1. Before cleaning your sandwich toaster, switch it off and unplug it
from the mains supply. Allow it to cool down fully.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with an absorbent paper or soft damp
cloth.
3. 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.
4. Press the cooking plate release buttons and remove the plates
from your sandwich toaster. Immerse the plates in warm, soapy
water. Rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. To
avoid oxide forming on the uncoated surfaces of the plate,
insert the plate back into your sandwich toaster and heat for
one minute with the lid closed. The cooking plates can also be
washed in a dishwasher.
