Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional materials and packaging materials before use. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust.
If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.
When using the sandwich press 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.

NOTE

Always allow the sandwich press to pre-heat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
The LOCK position is for storage only. It should not be used to clamp down the top cooking plate when sandwiches are in the sandwich press.

CRUSH CONTROL
TOASTED SANDWICH
This setting will reduce the weight of the top cooking plate, giving fluffy cooking results similar to cooking in a frying pan.

Insert the power plug into a 240V power outlet.
Switch the On/Off switch to the ON position.
The orange ‘POWER’ light will illuminate.
Allow the sandwich press to preheat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
Place sandwich on the bottom cooking plate.
Always place sandwiches in the center of the bottom cooking plate.
Move the Adjustable Height Control clip on the right-hand side of the sandwich press to the CRUSH CONTROL position.
Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking the plate has a crush control hinge that is designed to evenly and lightly press down the sandwich.
Toasting should take approximately 3–5 minutes. The exact roasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and type of filling used.
When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the sandwich press and raise the top cooking plate. Remove sandwich with a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the nonstick coating.

Hot Surfaces
Do Not Touch

This symbol indicates, the temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating, and for some time after use.
WARNING

OPEN SANDWICH MELTS

Insert the power plug into a 240V power outlet.
Switch the On/Off switch to the ON position. The orange ‘POWER’ light will illuminate.
Allow the sandwich press to preheat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
Place sandwich to be melted on the bottom plate. Always place sandwiches in the center of the bottom cooking plate.
Open the lid and move the Adjustable Height Control clip on the right-hand side of the sandwich press to OPEN MELT position.
Slowly lower the top plate until it sits in the OPEN MELT position.
The top plate will radiate the desired heat to melt ingredients such as cheese.
Toasting melts should take approximately 5–7 minutes. However, exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on how far the food is away from the top plate.

Care & Cleaning

Before cleaning, switch the On/Off switch to the Off position and unplug the sandwich press. Allow your sandwich press to cool before cleaning.
Always clean your sandwich press after each use to prevent a buildup of baked- on foods.
Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked on food is not removed by this method reheat the unit for 1–2 minutes, then brush with a little oil or melted butter.

NOTE

The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface; do not use abrasives.
Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

STORAGE

Allow the sandwich press to fully cool.
