IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:

NOTE: Please save these instructions for future use.

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use Handle.
To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in any liquid.
Close supervision is needed when any appliance is used by or near children.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Children should not play with the appliance.
Unplug from the power outlet before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped in any way. Contact our customer service team for further advice. Or contact a registered electrician for assistance.
The use of accessory attachments, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
Do not use outdoors, for household use ONLY.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance that contains hot oil or other hot substances.
To disconnect, remove the plug from a power outlet.
Do not use the appliance for anything else other than it’s intended use.
If the cable or cord is damaged, it will need to be replaced or repaired by a serviced electrician.

ATTENTION: WHEN USING FOR THE FIRST TIME, SLIGHT SMOKE OR ODOUR MAY BE EMITTED. THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL SOON SUBSIDE. ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT VENTILATION AROUND THE SANDWICH TOASTER.

CAUTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This appliance is for household use only.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to a qualified electrician. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used with care, however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

ATTENTION: DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID.

HOW TO USE GUIDE

USING YOUR SANDWICH TOASTER

When using it for the first time, wipe the surface of the plates with a damp cloth and dry. Then smear the plates with butter, cooking spray or any other cooking fat.
Plug in the appliance to the power outlet.
Close the sandwich toaster and prepare the sandwich whilst the toaster is heating.
When the sandwich maker is ready after approx. 5 minutes the ready-to-cook light will come on.
Fully open the sandwich toaster, and place a slice of bread in the bottom half with the buttered side against the plate.
Fill the sandwich, pressing the bottom half into the plates.
Place the top slice with buttered side up and carefully close the two parts of the toaster together. Do not force shut. Steam will be ejected from between the plates while doing this and care must be taken to ensure fingers do not come into contact with steam or plates.
Lock the two halves with the clip whilst toasting is taking place.
Your sandwich will be toasted in approx. 2-3 minutes, or longer to suit your taste.
Remove the sandwich using a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a metal knife as this may damage the non-stick coating.
Close the lid to preserve heat until you are ready to toast the next sandwiches.
Prepare further sandwiches if required while the one is cooking.
After use, remove the plug from the power outlet.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

Always pre-heat before use.
For soft fillings, use medium-sliced bread.
Use a teaspoon of sugar for a crispy finish – perfect on sweet toasties like fruit or chocolate-filled sandwiches.

CLEANING & CARE

Before cleaning, unplug from the appliance and let the appliance cool down completely.
Wipe the inside and edges of the plates with a soft cloth or kitchen roll.
Clean plates as normal in hot soapy water.
Dry the plates.
Insert back into the appliance and store away.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner or scouring pads on plates as this will damage the non-stick coating.

ATTENTION: DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID
