POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off all promotional and packaging materials.
• Check that the cooking plates are clean and dust-free. Clean all cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.
• It is recommended to heat the sandwich maker for about 10 minutes without any foodstuff on its surfaces. This helps to eliminate any grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and to eliminate the “new” appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor due to residue of the protective coating. This is normal with many heating appliances and does not affect the safety of your appliance.

OPERATION

Your Kalorik 4-in-1 sandwich maker comes with 4 versatile removable cooking plates for various needs and uses. The product comes with a grilled cooking plate, a flat searing plate, a diagonal sandwich plate, and a waffle plate. Easily switch between one or the other by clicking on the small latch and exchanging the plates as needed. Make sure the unit is always turned off and cooled when removing the cooking plates.

• Place the unit on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
• Click in the cooking plates you want to use.
• Close the appliance and plug into the electrical outlet. The red power light will come on to indicate that the appliance is on.
• Lightly grease the plates with butter or oil.
•  The green pilot light will turn on once the appliance is hot to indicate that the sandwich maker is ready for use.
• Place food on the heated plates and close the appliance, using the clamp in the front to tightly seal the sandwich maker, if desired.
  • Note: You can use this sandwich maker open or closed, but firmly closing the sandwich maker will help provide more consistent and even grilling.
• When using the sandwich maker as a waffle maker, we suggest closing the lid and waiting until no more steam emanates from the waffle maker as an indication for doneness. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Add more time as necessary according to preparation and taste.
• For grilling meats and vegetables, we recommend slicing the meats to a 1”-1 ½” thickness, especially if clamping the sandwich maker.
  • When using as a contact grill, make sure you have an even thickness across your food to have even results.
• Always drain excess marinade or liquids from foods before placing them on your plates—this will make cleanup a lot easier.
  • For marinated foods, opt for marinates with a lower sugar content as they may otherwise burn faster than the food cooks.

Caution: during operation, the baking plates heat up. Use caution to avoid burns. Use oven mitts and heat-resistant wooden or plastic utensils!

Grilling a sandwich

1. Click the desired plates in place.
2. Plug in the unit to a grounded wall socket. The unit’s red light will turn on to indicate the sandwich maker is heating.
3. Prepare your sandwich (you can also do this ahead of time) and wait for the sandwich maker to preheat. Try not to overload your sandwiches, as it will make it easier to close and more evenly cook the sandwich without losing any of that delicious filling!
4. Once the green pilot light turns on, you’re ready to go! The sandwich maker has reached the optimal sandwich-grilling temperature.
5. For the best, toastiest results, lightly butter the outside of your bread before placing in the sandwich maker. Make sure your sandwich fillings don’t spill out for best results (and easier cleanup).
6. With your sandwich on the bottom cooking plate, lower the top cooking plate and close the sandwich maker, using the clip to clamp it down tightly shut.
7. Cook for 3-5 minutes and check your sandwich for doneness. The cooking time will depend on the ingredients you use (type of bread, fillings) and personal preference. If you’re unsure, its best to check and let cook more if necessary.
8. Use a non-metallic utensil to retrieve the sandwich (e.g. a wooden or silicone spatula). Do not use sharp utensils such as knives or forks to grab your toasted sandwich.
9. Once you’re done toasting up your sandwiches, be sure to unplug the unit and let it cool completely before cleaning.

Making your sandwich exceptional:

• Bread matters. Using sandwich or artisanal bread will work best in this sandwich maker. Feel free to mix it up with focaccia, sourdough, or whole-wheat when making grilled sandwiches, just remember that the higher the sugar content (i.e. raisin breads, sweet breads, etc.), the faster the browning.
• Not all cheeses are equal. First, think of optimizing meltiness for the most satisfying stretch factor—cheeses like cheddar, American, provolone, mozzarella are all examples of what will help your grilled sandwich shine.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different fillings or methods when making sandwiches. A grilled PB&J may be just what satisfies your craving, but you can switch it up with different nut butters and different jelly flavors.
• Spread all the way. Whether its mayo, jelly, or an interesting combination of the two, its best to create a light, even spread to the edges of the bread for the best results.
• Consider the balance, regarding both the bread you’re using and how the cheese and other fillings will counterbalance in flavor. You can opt for a sharper cheddar and a milder bread or use a milder cheese for more flavorful breads like sourdough.
• Try to not add too many wet ingredients like tomato or fresh fruit as they may produce a soggy sandwich. If you want to use moist fillings, try opting for a denser bread that won’t absorb as much liquid.
• When grilling sandwiches with jelly and/or cheeses, be careful as you bite down as the fillings may remain hot longer than the bread.
• Since the plates are nonstick, you do not need to use butter or oil on the outside of the plates. A light spread of mayo, oil, or butter will help produce a golden-brown grilled sandwich.

Note: While the appliance is in use, the green pilot light will turn on and off as it maintains its temperature.

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down completely in an open position.
• Wipe the outside with only a slightly moistened cloth or paper towel to remove any excess oil or grease.
