This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING Electrical Shock
Hazard: This appliance is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or
grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits
only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am looking for the user manual of my Hamilton Beach 25430 Sandwich Maker Toaster. Do you have it?
Yes, we have it. You can download it from the link provided below.
Is there an on/off switch on it?
I don’t remember giving it as a present. I have a speaker, however, it lacks a switch.
Do they have adjustable hinges to accommodate the bread?
It does not have sloppy hinges and will perfectly accommodate four slices of bread (two top and two bottoms). Just be careful not to overfill your sandwich creations.
Can you fit an oval-shaped loaf of rye bread inside?
Tommy, you’re free to put whatever you want in there.
Can you use this to make quesadillas?
This sandwich grill produces sandwiches with square sandwich bread.
When it’s finished, does it turn off?
In my opinion, no. Depending on how much filling we use, I normally time the process for making quesadillas between 90 and 110 seconds. So that it can cool, we disconnect the device. I truly enjoy this device.
Does the machine cut the triangles when you close it, or do you have to cut the bread into triangles before you put it in?
The bread slices do not need to be sliced. The divider plates squeeze and seal them as the temperature rises, resulting in four separate packed sandwiches. To ensure that you don’t lose the delicious ingredients you packed them with, you might need to use a knife to cut the toasted bread.
Can other things, such as canned biscuits or pancake batter, be used?
Sure, but there’s a chance that your contents might leak out and leave a mess to clean up. For a grilled cheese sandwich, it works best.
Does it have 110 volts?
Yes, this item operates on 110 volts.
Can you use gluten-free bread with this?
Yes, it functions with all types of bread.
