Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker 25475A Instruction Manual

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the sandwich maker and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all removable parts (cooking rings, cooking plate) in warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the sandwich maker on a clean, dry, and stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
4. Preheat: Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet. The red power light will illuminate. Allow the unit to preheat until the green "PREHEAT" light turns on, indicating it's ready for use. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your perfect breakfast sandwich:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather your desired ingredients. Ensure any meat is pre-cooked.
2. Preheat: Plug in the sandwich maker and wait for the green "PREHEAT" light to illuminate.
3. Grease Cooking Surfaces: Lightly spray or brush the cooking plates and rings with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
4. Layer Bottom Ingredients: Lift the top lid and the upper cooking ring. Place the bottom half of your bread (e.g., English muffin, bagel, biscuit) into the bottom cooking plate. Top with cheese and pre-cooked meat.
5. Add Egg: Lower the upper cooking ring. Crack an egg directly onto the cooking plate in the upper ring. You may gently pierce the yolk with a fork or toothpick if desired.
6. Add Top Bread: Place the top half of your bread onto the egg.
7. Close and Cook: Carefully close the top lid. Set the timer (if available on your model) for 4-5 minutes, or cook until desired doneness.
8. Assemble Sandwich: Once cooked, slide the cooking plate handle out from under the upper cooking ring. This will drop the cooked egg and top bread onto the bottom layer.
9. Remove Sandwich: Carefully lift the entire cooking assembly and use a heat-resistant spatula to remove your hot, assembled sandwich.

3. Dishwasher Safe: All removable parts are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack.
4. Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid using harsh scrubbers or abrasive cleaners that could damage the nonstick coating.
5. Wipe Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the sandwich maker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your sandwich maker, refer to the following common solutions:

• Sandwich sticking: Ensure cooking surfaces are lightly greased before each use. Do not use metal utensils, which can damage the nonstick coating.
• Egg leaking: Make sure the cooking ring is properly seated and the egg is cracked directly into the center. Avoid overfilling the egg ring.
• Uneven cooking: Ensure the appliance is preheated fully before adding ingredients. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness and ingredient thickness.
• Appliance not turning on: Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
