Product Overview

The Aigostar Sandwich Maker features several key components:

• 1. Working indicator light: This light indicates that the appliance is heating. When the light is off, the appliance has stopped heating. The appliance functions in this on/off cycle.
• 2. Power indicator light: This light indicates that the appliance is on. When the light is off, this indicates the appliance is off.
• 3. Handle lock: Secures the lid when closed.
• 4. Anti-scald handle: Designed for safe handling of the appliance.
• 5. Power cord: Connects the appliance to the power supply.
• 6. Upper lid: The top part of the sandwich maker that closes over the food.
• 7. Baking plates: The surfaces where the sandwiches are cooked. These are made with food-safe materials and food-grade coatings.
• 8. Base: The bottom part of the appliance.

The baking plates will be hot after use. To avoid scalds, allow them to cool completely before cleaning.

Before First Use

1. Before the first use, wipe and clean the appliance using a soft, dry cloth.
2. The baking trays are not detachable. Heat the appliance for 5-10 minutes to remove unpleasant odors and sterilize the trays. Wipe and clean the appliance after it has cooled down completely.
3. When operating the appliance, keep it at a distance of over 20cm from walls and the edge of the surface on which it is placed.
4. In the process of heating, steam or some smells may be emitted. A ticking sound after the expansion of the heating tube is normal and not a sign of product failure. The smells emitted by the appliance after heating will gradually disappear with use.
5. It is normal for the outer shell of the appliance to become hot during the heating process.
6. The appliance is heated at a constant temperature that cannot be adjusted during use. You can place your sandwich in the appliance first and then plug it in to start toasting your sandwich.

Operating Instructions

1. Place the dry and clean appliance on a flat surface.
2. Close the appliance and connect the power. The appliance will start heating (pre-heating) as soon as the power plug is inserted into the power socket.
3. When plugged in, the appliance's two indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the appliance is pre-heating. The green indicator light will turn off when the heating process is complete and the appliance will start to cool. Then, the two indicator lights will illuminate again and the appliance will heat and cool in a constant cycle.

Making a Sandwich

1. Power on the sandwich maker and pre-heat it. During the pre-heating process (about 150s), you can prepare your sandwich filling, such as slices of bread, ham, eggs, lettuce leaves, etc.
2. After pre-heating, open the lid of the sandwich maker. Spread some butter on one side of two slices of bread and take one piece of bread and put the butter side down onto the baking pan. Then, put your prepared filling onto the slice of bread and cover it with the other slice of bread with the buttered side up. Finally, close the sandwich maker.
3. When the heating process is complete, open the lid and remove your sandwich. Enjoy.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. After use and before cleaning, remove the plug from the socket and wait for the appliance to cool down.
2. Wipe the inside and edges of the baking plates with an absorbent paper towel or a soft cloth.
3. Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the plate and wipe it off after five minutes when the filling has softened.
4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a slightly moistened cloth to ensure no oil or grease remains on the appliance.
5. Do not clean the inside or outside surface of the appliance with an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this will damage the finish.
6. Use only water or gentle washing-up liquid to clean the appliance. Do not use any other chemical solution to clean the appliance.
