Usage Instructions
Before for use
Before using your Sandwich Maker for the first time, unpack the appliance and remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers from the product. Remove any plastic or cardboard and all printed documents. Wipe over plates with a dampened cloth and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Note: When using your Cafe Style Sandwich Maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of internal components.
Using your Cafe Style Sandwich Maker
-
Place your sandwich maker on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
-
Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt AC power outlet.
-
The red, POWER light will automatically turn ON and will start pre-heating. Pre-heating will take approximately 2 minutes.
-
The green light or READY light indicates that the sandwich maker is ready to be used for cooking.
-
Gently lift the Any Height Control™ lever to release the lock and lift the upper plate.
-
Once you have prepared your snack, place it onto the bottom cooking plate.
-
Gently lower the lid to cover your snack at desired height and push down the lever to lock the upper plate. The upper plate will adjust automatically ensuring that the top cooking plate lies evenly on your snack, for perfect toasting every time.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the hot cooking plates when in use.
- Allow your snack to toast for approximately 3 minutes, depending on the bread, filling and personal taste. Your Cafe Style Sandwich Maker toasts both sides of bread at the same time.
- The ‘ready’ light is thermostatically controlled and will cycle during cooking to ensure that the correct temperature is maintained. The green light will automatically turn ON when pre-heating is done and it is ready to cook. You may leave your snack if you prefer to cook it longer.
- The cooking plates are coated with a durable non-stick coating. Some fillings such as cheese may melt and cause the sandwich to stick to the cooking plates. To free the sandwich, use a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon. Never use a sharp or metal object, as this will damage the non-stick surface.
- After using, unplug the sandwich press and let it cool down before storing.
- Your Cafe Style Sandwich Maker features a cord wrap underneath enabling the product to be stored in the upright position.
Caution: Do not touch the outside or top of the unit when in use, as these surfaces may be hot. Ensure you use the handle to open and close the top plate. Avoid touching hot surfaces.

Sunbeam will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating where meta I utensil Is have been used.
To clean after use

cleaning it. NEVER immerse the MAIN body, power cord or plug in water or
anyother liquid. To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline

Cooking Guide
Breads
- Any type or shape of bread can be used, e.g. white, whole meal, wholegrain, sourdough, bread rolls, bagels.
- Various thicknesses of bread can be used from thick to thin slice. Turkish pied or focaccia are also suitable.
- Sweet breads with a high sugar content (e.g. fruit loaf, raisin bread, brioche) will brown more quickly than non-sweetened breads.
Note: It is not necessary to butter the outside of your bread as the Cafe Style Sandwich Maker has non-stick cooking plates.
Caution: Be careful when biting into snacks containing fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
Pan frying
Your Cafe Style Sandwich Maker can also be used for pan frying. Suitable for eggs, omelets, bacon, sausages, steaks and chicken pieces. Use the Any Height Control™ Lever to lock the upper plate at a height where there is space in between the eggs and the upper plate to add heat to your cooking.
