USE

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Be careful not to let water get inside the device! This is an electrical appliance and water may cause a short circuit that may damage the appliance or cause electric shock.
  Wash the heating panels with a slightly dampened soft cloth. Wipe them off with a dry soft cloth or paper towel.

START-UP OF THE DEVICE

• Make sure your hands are dry before operating the unit. The device has to be disconnected from the power supply.
• Do not use excessive force to close the latch. If it does not want to close, adjust the cover more closely.
• Ensure that the cable is routed so that there is no possibility of damage, cutting, pushing, or pulling that could cause damage to the equipment or injury to you or anyone else.
• The device may only be connected to a power outlet equipped with a protective pin.
• If you notice that the housing, cable, or power plug is damaged, do not turn on the device.
• Do not grill products other than sandwiches, e.g. meat, vegetables, fish, etc., as you may damage the heating plates, and the effect of grilling may not be as expected.
• While toasting bread take care not to approach the sides of the appliance as hot water steam may vapour from the sandwiches.
• Be careful with the case, its surface is getting hot and we recommend that you open and close the device by grasping the top and bottom handles.
• Do not use metal or glass tools during operation as you may damage the non-stick coating on the heating panels.

If there are any leftovers from the previous sandwiches on the heating panels, you can remove it using a wooden, plastic, or silicone spatula (intended to be used with Teflon) or a paper towel, paying special attention to the fact that the heating panels are very hot!

1. Grease the heating panels with fat (rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, clarified butter) using a paper towel or kitchen brush.
2. Close the cover and close the latch.
3. Plug the device into a power outlet. The red power light should light up.
4. Prepare the sandwiches you wish to toast.
5. When the device reaches the temperature optimal for operation, the green standby lamp lights up.
6. Open the latch and raise the top of the sandwich maker until the opening limiter engages. The upper part should not fall down.
7. Place the prepared sandwiches on the heating panels.
8. Gently lower the upper part of the device by holding the handle and securing it with the latch. If needed press the upper part of the sandwich maker to close it.
9. Check the state of the sandwiches by gently lifting the top part of the sandwich after opening the latch.
10. Once you have reached the right baking level, gently remove the sandwiches using a wooden, plastic, or silicone spatula (intended to be used with Teflon).
11. If you’re preparing more sandwiches, close the lid so that it heats up to the optimal temperature, as indicated by the red standby light.
12. When the sandwiches have finished toasting, close the dispenser and unplug the dispenser from the wall outlet.
13. Clean the sandwich maker when it cools down.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
If the sandwich filling is moist or contains a lot of moisture (in tomatoes, mushrooms) the bread may soften – then use thicker slices of bread with a more compact structure (wholemeal, graham, etc.).
When roasting sweet-filled sandwiches, gently sprinkle powdered sugar or other fine sugar on the surface of the sandwiches to make the crust more crispy.
The use of flavored butter can increase the tastiness of the sandwiches.
