• Non-stick baking surface
• Easy to clean

Making Sandwiches

1. Prepare the sandwiches using toast-bread. Place the desired filling on the bottom slice and cover it with a second slice of bread. Do not use too much filling, as the sandwich maker may not close properly, or the filling may burn on the grill plate.
2. The green indicator light turns off when the device has reached the required temperature for baking sandwiches. If the device is shut down, it will warm up quicker.
3. Release the handle lock and open the sandwich maker. Do not touch the hot grilling plates.
4. Place the prepared sandwiches on the bottom grill plate and close the upper grill plate. Secure with the handle lock.
5. After approximately 2-3 minutes, release the lock and open the upper grill plate. Remove the sandwiches with a wooden or heat-resistant plastic spoon. Do not use metal tools, as they can damage the non-stick covering.
6. If you are not grilling further sandwiches, power off the unit by unplugging it from the electric outlet.

Troubleshooting

Disposal

Waste equipment must be collected and disposed of separately from household waste, as it may contain components hazardous to the environment or health. Used or waste equipment can be returned free of charge to the point of sale, or to any distributor that sells identical equipment. You can also hand it in at a collection point specializing in electronic waste. This protects the environment, your health, and the health of others. If you have any questions, contact your local waste management organization. The manufacturer's obligations under relevant regulations are undertaken, and associated costs are covered.

Storage

When the baking sheets have cooled down, close the appliance and lock it with the handle lock. Wind the cable onto the cable holder. Store the device in a dry, cool place.
