OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Smear the cooking plate with butter, margarine, or cooking fat.
2. Plug the appliance into an electrical socket; the red power indicator light will illuminate.

5. Fill the sandwich, then place another slice of bread on top.
6. Carefully close the two parts of the sandwich maker together and lock the handle closed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• After use and before cleaning, remove the plug from the socket and wait for the appliance to cool down.
• Wipe the inside and the edges of the plate with kitchen roll, an absorbent paper towel, or a soft cloth.
• Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the plate and wipe off after five minutes when the filling has softened.
• Wipe the outside of the appliance with only a slightly moistened cloth to ensure no moisture, oil, or grease enters the cooling slots.
• Do not clean the inside and outside surface with an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this will damage the finish.
• Use only water or recommended liquid to clean the appliance. Do not use any other chemical solution to clean the appliance.

STORAGE

• Close the handle lock so the appliance can be stored vertically.
