4. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing. Dry thoroughly.
3. Place the sandwich maker on a stable, heat-resistant, and flat surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
4. Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The red power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the appliance is heating up.
5. Allow the sandwich maker to preheat until the green ready-to-cook indicator light illuminates. This typically takes a few minutes.
6. For the first use, it is recommended to lightly grease the non-stick plates with a small amount of cooking oil or butter. This helps condition the non-stick surface.
7. The appliance may emit a slight odor or smoke during the first few uses. This is normal and will dissipate.

5. Operating Instructions

Making Sandwiches

1. Ensure the sandwich maker is preheated (green light on).
2. Prepare your ingredients. For best results, use standard-sized bread slices.
3. Place your desired ingredients (e.g., bread, cheese, ham, vegetables) onto the bottom cooking plate.
4. Carefully close the lid and latch the handle. The automatic thermostat will maintain the optimal cooking temperature.
5. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cooking time may vary based on ingredients and desired crispness.
6. Once cooked, carefully open the lid using the cool-touch handle. Use a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula to remove the sandwich. Avoid metal utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick coating.
7. Unplug the appliance when finished cooking.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Aigostar Sandwich Maker. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Cleaning the Cooking Plates: The non-stick plates are designed for easy cleaning. Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, use a small amount of mild dish soap and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Storage: For compact storage, the sandwich maker can be stored upright when the lid is locked. Wrap the power cord around the base for neat storage.
