4. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps:

1. Unpack the sandwich maker and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge and then dry thoroughly.
3. Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
4. Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.
5. Allow the sandwich maker to preheat for approximately 3-5 minutes until the ready indicator light illuminates. During the first use, a slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate.
6. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before proceeding to the operating instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your sandwiches:

1. Ensure the sandwich maker is clean and dry.
2. Plug the appliance into a wall outlet. The power indicator light will turn on.
3. Allow the sandwich maker to preheat until the ready indicator light illuminates (approximately 3-5 minutes).
4. While preheating, prepare your sandwiches. For best results, use standard sliced bread and avoid overfilling.
5. Once preheated, carefully open the sandwich maker using the cool-touch handle.
6. Place one sandwich on each triangular plate. Do not force the lid closed if the sandwiches are too thick.
7. Close the lid firmly. The ready indicator light may turn off temporarily as the appliance heats the sandwiches.
8. Cook for approximately 2-5 minutes, or until the sandwiches are golden brown and the filling is heated through. Cooking time may vary based on bread type and filling.
9. Carefully open the lid and remove the cooked sandwiches using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
10. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet after use.

• Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing.
