IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. A fire may occur if appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, etc., when in operation.
11. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not attempt to dislodge food when appliance is plugged in
14. Do not place any of the following materials in the unit: Paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.
15. Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood, stone and/or laminates, are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. It is recommended by countertop manufacturers and Maxi-Matic that a hot pad or trivet be placed under your Elite deep fryer to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

• Non-Stick Cooking Plates: Two surfaces to allow cooking on both sides of foods simultaneously. Saves time and easy clean up.
• Power/Ready Indicator Light: Assists in giving you controlled cooking over your sandwiches.
• Compact Storage: Unit folds up for easy storage. Convenient and takes up less space
• Cool-Touch Exterior: A cool touch handle and exterior casing provides convenient handling of unit.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Peel off any adhesive labels.
• Wipe the surface of the cooking plates with a damp cloth and dry.
• Pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the non-stick coated plates. Spread over using an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.

HOW TO USE

Close the sandwich maker and plug it into the wall outlet; the red power light will go on. It will take about 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. When the Green Ready Light turns on, the sandwich maker is ready to cook!

1. Prepare desired sandwich fillings while the unit is heating up.
2. Open the top of the sandwich maker. Season the plates with butter or margarine if desired.
3. Place slice of bread onto the bottom plate.
4. Fill with desired sandwich condiments. Lay top layer of bread over the top of filling.
5. Close the top lid of the sandwich maker and use the clasp to fasten the handles. Steam will eject from between the sandwich maker so please ensure that fingers do not contact with steam.
6. Toast for approximately 3 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Open the sandwich maker and remove sandwiches using a plastic or wooden spatula. NEVER use metal or sharp utensils to remove food as they may scratch or damage the non-stick surface.
8. Close the top of sandwich maker to preserve the heat until ready to toast the next sandwiches.
9. Unplug unit when finish using

NOTE:
First use will burn off the manufacture protective coating. This may cause slight smoking from unit. It is not harmful and will stop after first use.

During toasting and process of making the sandwiches, the GREEN Ready light will periodically turn on and off to maintain the right temperature

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Always preheat the sandwich maker before use. Plug cord into a power outlet while preparing the fillings.
• For soft or liquid sandwich fillings, use medium sliced bread.
• Flavored butter or margarine can also be used.
• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the outside of bread slices makes the toasted sandwiches crispier; especially for fruit filled sandwiches.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Clean the unit only after you have unplugged it for 2 – 3 hours.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a paper towel.
• Next, wipe the non-stick cooking surface with a damp wet cloth, which can have a little soapy water on it.
• Wipe the exterior of the sandwich maker with a damp cloth.

CAUTION:
Do not clean the interior/exterior with a scouring pad, abrasive or steel wool as this will damage the finish.

DO NOT immerse the unit or plug in water or any other liquid.
