Using the sandwich maker

Pour or place the ingredients to be cooked directly on the lower non-stick plate.

Close the device and use the lock to fasten the handles. Do not open it during the cooking process.

The green ready light indicator may turn on and off due to automatic temperature control.

Food will be ready in approximately 4-5 minutes. You may cook food for longer according to your likings.

Once food is ready, open the lid and remove it using a plastic or wooden spatula.

Warning; Do not use metal knives or objects, as this may cause damage to the non-stick plates.

Tips

• When using precooked sandwiches or waffles, make sure they fit in the non-stock plates or cut them in such way that they do.
• Use only butter or ordinary margarine when preparing precooked sandwiches or waffles, as synthetic or low-fat spreads tend to overheat at lower temperatures and form dark brown deposits which could stick to the non-stick plates.
• Precooked sandwiches and waffles must be buttered on the outside, unlike conventional ones.
• Use heat-proof gloves and utensils when using this device.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Unplug the sandwich maker and allow it to cool down before cleaning. The unit is easier to clean when it is slightly warm.

Do not immerse in water or any other liquid, nor wash it in dishwashers.

Wipe the cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food residue. If any foodstuff has stuck to the cooking plates, pour a bit of warm water mixed with detergent over the food residue and clean the plates with a non-abrasive scouring pad.

Do not use abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the non-stick coating.

The plates are dishwasher safe.

Wipe the outside of the sandwich maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad, as this will damage the finish. Keep the product in a cool, dry place.

The power cord can be wound around the base of the product for its storage.

You can use the lock to keep the plates together, in order to store the product in an upright position.
