3. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

1. Carefully remove the sandwich maker from its packaging.
2. Remove all packaging materials, labels, and stickers.

Before First Use:

1. Wipe the DuraCeramic cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. For a more thorough clean, the plates can be removed and washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Ensure the appliance is completely dry before plugging it in.

Placement:

Place the sandwich maker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or heat-sensitive materials, ensuring adequate ventilation around the appliance.

4. Operating Instructions

Preparing for Use:

1. Close the sandwich maker and plug it into a suitable power outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the appliance is preheating.
2. Allow the sandwich maker to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the indicator light changes (if applicable, refer to your specific model's light indicators for readiness).

Making Sandwiches:

1. While the appliance is preheating, prepare your sandwiches. For best results, use medium-sliced bread and ensure fillings are not excessively thick to allow the lid to close properly.
2. Once preheated, carefully open the sandwich maker using the handle.
3. Place one slice of bread on each bottom cooking plate. Add your desired fillings, then top with another slice of bread.
4. Carefully close the lid, ensuring the locking handle engages. Do not force the lid shut if the sandwiches are too thick.
5. Cook for approximately 3-6 minutes, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the filling is heated through. Cooking time may vary depending on bread type, fillings, and desired crispness.
6. Once cooked, carefully open the lid and remove the sandwiches using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the DuraCeramic coating.
7. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.
