Operating Instructions
1. Using as a Toaster/Sandwich Maker
- Close the appliance and plug it into a suitable power outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.
- Allow the appliance to preheat. The ready indicator light will turn on (or off, depending on the model's specific indicator logic) when the desired temperature is reached.
- Carefully open the lid using the cool-touch handle.
- Place your sandwiches or other food items onto the bottom cooking plate. Do not overfill.
- Close the lid. The floating hinge design allows for even pressure on varying food thicknesses.
- Cook for the desired time, typically 3-5 minutes for sandwiches, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Once cooked, carefully open the lid and remove the food using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Avoid metal utensils to protect the non-stick coating.
- Unplug the appliance after use.

- Place your food items, such as meat, vegetables, or multiple sandwiches, onto both cooking plates.
- Cook until desired doneness, turning food as needed.
- After cooking, carefully remove the food using appropriate utensils.

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your appliance.
- Always Unplug: Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power outlet and has cooled down completely.
