BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional materials and packaging materials before use. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth. When using the sandwich press for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.
TOASTED SANDWICH
- Insert the power plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and then turn the power ON. The red `POWER’ light will illuminate.
- Allow the sandwich press to pre-heat with the top cooking plate in the closed position until the green `READY’ light illuminates.
- During this time, prepare the sandwich. When the sandwich press has pre-heated, place the sandwich onto the bottom cooking plate. Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
- Close the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a floating hinge that is designed to evenly press down on the sandwich (see Fig 1).
- Toasting should take approximately 58 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and type of filling used.
- When the sandwich is cooked, use the handle to open the sandwich press and raise the top cooking plate. Remove sandwich with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
NOTE
- Always allow the sandwich press to pre-heat until the green `READY’ light illuminates.
- The safety locking storage clip should not be used to clamp down the top cooking plate when the sandwiches are in the sandwich press. The weight of the top cooking plate will gradually press down the sandwich during the cooking process.
- When using the sandwich press for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern.
CAUTION
HOT SURFACE – The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating and for some time after use.
Fully unwind the cord from the cord storage facility before use.
Your sandwich press features an Adjustable Height Control feature which allows you to fix the top plate to a range of positions above the bottom plate. This allows your sandwich press to be used as an open toaster ideal for toasting open sandwich melts. It can also be used for toasting sandwiches where you don’t need to apply the weight of the top plate.
OPEN SANDWICH MELTS
- Allow the sandwich press to pre-heat until the green `READY’ light illuminates.
- Place sandwich to be melted on bottom plate.
- Move the Adjustable Height Control clip on the right hand side of the sandwich press to the desired height (see Fig 2).
- Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the Adjustable Height Control clip.
- The top plate will radiate the desired heat to melt ingredients such as cheese.
- Toasting melts should take approximately 34 minutes. However exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the height of the top plate.
Adjustable Height Control
Toasts or melts any bread thickness in minutes.
NOTE
The Adjustable Height Control can be moved to accommodate thick or thin melts by sliding the clip forwards or backwards along the arm.
BREAD
Most types of bread can be used; white, whole meal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. The sandwich press is ideal for toasting focaccia, Turkish bread, baguettes as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
TOASTING BREAD
The unique flat plate design makes the sandwich press ideal for toasting plain breads, and Turkish bread, without any fillings or spreads. Try toasting Turkish Bread with jams for a great alternative to standard breads at breakfast.
FAT FREE SNACKS
Due to the non-stick flat plate design, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snacks.
Before cleaning, switch the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug. Allow your sandwich press to cool before cleaning. The appliance is easier to clean when slightly warm.
Always clean your sandwich press after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked on food is not removed by this method reheat the unit for 12 minutes, then brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE
- The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.
- Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.
STORAGE
To store your sandwich press:
- Switch off at power outlet and unplug power cord from the wall.
- Allow the sandwich press to fully cool.
- Slide the Adjustable Height Control towards the front handle to the `LOCK’ position so that the top and bottom cooking plates are locked together (see Fig 4).
- Wrap the power cord in the cord storage area below the appliance (see Fig 5).
- Store on a flat, dry, level surface.
NOTE
The storage clip should not be used to clamp down the top plate when sandwiches are in the sandwich press.
WARNING
Do not immerse any part of the sandwich press in water or any other liquid.
