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.
NOTE
• Always allow the sandwich press to pre-heat
until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
• The LOCK position is for the storage only.
It should not be used to clamp down the top
cooking plate when sandwiches are in the
sandwich press.
CRUSH CONTROL
TOASTED SANDWICH
This setting will reduce the weight of the top
cooking plate, giving fluffy cooking results
similar to cooking in a frying pan.
1. Insert the power plug into a 240V power
outlet. Switch the On/Off switch to the ON
position. The orange ‘POWER’ light will
illuminate.
2. Allow the sandwich press to preheat with
the top cooking plate in the closed position
until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
3. Place sandwich on the bottom cooking
plate. Always place sandwiches in the
center of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Move the Adjustable Height Control clip on
the right hand side of the sandwich press to
the CRUSH CONTROL position.
5. Close the top cooking plate. The top
cooking plate has a crush control hinge
that is designed to evenly and lightly press
down the sandwich.
6. Toasting should take approximately
3–5 minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
7. When the sandwich is cooked, use the
handle to open the sandwich press and
raise the top cooking plate. Remove
sandwich with a plastic or wooden spatula.
Never use metal tongs or a knife as these
can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
This symbol indicates, temperature of
accessible surfaces may be high when the
