Before First Use

Installing/Removing Plates
- Ensure the appliance is unplugged and cool.

- To remove, locate the plate release buttons (if present, usually near the hinges) or gently lift the plate from the edges until it detaches.

4. Operation
Preparing for Cooking
- Place the sandwich maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
- Ensure the desired interchangeable plates are correctly installed.
- Close the lid and plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet (230 Volts). The red 'Power On' indicator light will illuminate.
- Allow the appliance to preheat. The green 'Ready' indicator light will illuminate when the desired cooking temperature is reached. This typically takes 3-5 minutes.
Cooking Your Sandwich
- Once the green 'Ready' light is on, carefully open the lid using the cool-touch handle.
- Place your bread with desired fillings onto the lower plate. For best results, lightly butter or oil the outer sides of the bread.
- Gently close the lid and secure it with the hinged lock. Do not force the lid shut if the sandwich is too thick.
- Cook for approximately 3-6 minutes, or until the sandwich is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Cooking time may vary based on bread type, filling, and desired crispness.
- Periodically check the sandwich by carefully opening the lid.
- Once cooked, open the lid and carefully remove the sandwich using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Avoid metal utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick coating.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.
