Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the sandwich maker from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. It is recommended to lightly grease the plates with a small amount of cooking oil or butter for the very first use to condition the non-stick surface.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the appliance for ventilation. Do not place it directly under cabinets or near flammable materials.
4. Power Connection: Unwind the power cord from the cable winding feature at the base of the unit. Plug the appliance into a suitable wall outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: Close the sandwich maker and plug it into a power outlet. The red operating light will illuminate, indicating the appliance is heating. The green readiness indicator light will turn on when the appliance has reached its optimal cooking temperature.
2. Preparing Sandwiches: While the appliance preheats, prepare your sandwiches. For best results, use standard-sized bread slices and avoid overfilling. You may lightly butter the outer sides of the bread for extra crispiness.
3. Cooking: Once the green readiness light illuminates, carefully open the sandwich maker using the insulated handle. Place one sandwich on each cooking plate. Close the lid and secure it with the locking mechanism on the handle.

4. Cooking Time: Cook for approximately 2-4 minutes, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the filling is heated through. The green readiness light may cycle on and off during cooking, indicating temperature regulation.
5. Removing Sandwiches: Once cooked, carefully open the lid. Use a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula to remove the sandwiches. Do not use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your sandwich maker.

1. Cool Down: Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Cleaning Plates: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, a small amount of mild dish soap can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these will damage the non-stick coating.
3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior housing with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4. Storage: Once clean and dry, the sandwich maker can be stored vertically to save space. Wrap the power cord around the integrated cable winding at the base of the unit.
