Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Check that cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth. Place the toastie maker on a flat, level surface with the lid in the closed position.

1. Insert the power plug into a 230/240v power point and turn the power on. The red power `ON’ light will illuminate.

2. Allow toastie maker to preheat (with the lid closed) until the green `READY’ light illuminates.

3. During this time, prepare the toasties by buttering up to four slices of bread and preparing filling.

4. Place up to two slices of bread on the plates, buttered sides down. Place filling on top of bread.

5. Place remaining bread on filling, buttered side up.

6. Carefully close the lid and clip handles together. Do not force the lid to close.
   NOTE
   The green `READY’ light will cycle on and off during the toasting process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

7. Toasting should take approximately three minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and type of filling used.

8. When the toastie is cooked, remove it with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

9. To maintain heat, keep the lid closed until you are ready to toast the next sandwich.
   NOTE
   At all times the lid must be closed when cooking. When using the toastie maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.
   WARNING
   Steam will be ejected from between the cooking plates when the lid is closed. Be careful not to make contact with the steam as it may cause burns. Fully unwind power cord from cord storage facility before use.

Hints & Tips

BREAD

The toastie maker is designed for use with supersized and regular-sized bread. With extra large cooking plates, it seals and cooks the toastie. Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content, remember they will brown faster.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.
Be careful when biting into toasties containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
One quarter cup of filling for each toastie is sufficient. Do not overfill your toasties.

BUTTER OR MARGARINE

For best results we recommend to butter the outside of the bread i.e. place filling between the unbuttered sides of bread.
If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule counting, the outside of the bread may be left unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier. To season, brush the cooking plates with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper. Do this after preheating the unit.
Do not use spray or non-stick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.
For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of caster sugar over the outer buttered sides of the bread will make them extra delicious.
For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for spreading on bread.

REHEATING

If the toastie is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven, about 100°C. The toastie will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.

Care & Cleaning

IMPORTANT

Do not immerse any part of the toastie maker in water or any liquid.
Before cleaning, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug. Allow your toastie maker to cool, lightly. The toastie maker is easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean your toastie maker after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked on food is not removed by this method, brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE
The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.
