CONTROL PANEL

HOW TO OPERATE

Before using your DELUXE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH TOASTER for the first time, be sure to follow the directions under CLEANING & MAINTENANCE to clean your unit.

There may be a slight smell and some smoke the first time using this appliance. This is both normal and temporary.

1. Place the unit on a stable surface near an electrical outlet, away from any water source. Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet.

2. Butter the outside of two pieces of bread.

3. Build your sandwich using your favorite grilled cheese ingredients. For recipe ideas, see the RECIPES section of this manual. When assembling your sandwich, be sure the buttered side of each piece of bread is facing outwards.
   PRO TIP: Visit the HELPFUL TIPS section of this manual forguildelines on building the best grilled cheese sandwich.

4. Preheat the toaster by pressing down on the Control Lever, then pressing the PREHEAT button on the Control Panel.

5. When done preheating, the Control Lever will pop up. Insert your prepared sandwich into the Toasting Basket, then place the Toasting Basket into the Toasting Slot.

6. Depending on your preferred level of doneness, adjust the Toasting Dial to within the MELT ZONE (levels 4 to 6) indicated on the Toasting Dial. (4 = less toasted, 6 = more toasted)

7. Press down on the Control Lever to start the toasting cycle.

8. After the Control Lever pops up, allow the sandwich to sit in the toaster for about 30 seconds before removing from the toaster. This will allow the cheese to fully melt.
   NOTE: If your grilled cheese sandwich needs additional time, adjust the Toasting Dial to between 1 to 4 and press down the Control Lever.
   CAUTION! Toasted food will be hot to the touch, so handle with care.

9. When done using your DELUXE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH TOASTER, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely.

HELPFUL TIPS

BUILDING YOUR GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

• Use a soft cheese with a low melting point.
• Be sure to preheat the toaster before toasting your sandwich.
• Build your sandwich with thin slices of bread. Thick slices of bread may be too large for the Toasting Slots.
• Do not add too many ingredients to your sandwich, making it too thick may leave the center cold or the cheese unmelted. We recommend using 1-2 slices of cheese per sandwich.
• Always be sure to butter the outside of the each slice of bread before toasting. This will create a deliciously crisp outside to your sandwich.
• Allow the grilled cheese to sit in the toaster for about 30 seconds after the toasting cycle has completed to allow the cheese to fully melt.

RECOMMENDED CHEESES

The best cheeses to use when making a grilled cheese sandwich are soft cheeses with a low melting point.

Recommended cheeses:

• Swiss
• Asiago
• Provolone
• Mozzarella
• Cheddar
• Gruyere
• Pepper Jack

RECOMMENDED BREADS

Due to the size of the Toasting Slots, some very thick-cut breads do not work well with this toaster. For best results, stick to the standard-cut or thin slices of bread.

• Recommended breads:
• White
• Wheat
• Multigrain
• Sourdough
• English Muffin
• Pumpernickel
• Rye
• Italian

BURNING/SMOKING

If your unit is burning or smoking while toasting, press the CANCEL button to end the toasting cycle, and unplug from the electrical outlet. Remove the Toasting Basket from the Toasting Slot and allow unit to cool completely. Smoking may also be caused by excess crumbs and pieces of cheese stuck inside the machine. To prevent smoking, make sure to clean the Drip Tray after each use.
