Beforerstuse
• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Remove and wash the cooking plates thoroughly to remove any impurities or
residues that may be left over from the manufacturing process (follow the directions
under Care and Cleaning).
• Clean the outside of your sandwich toaster with a soft damp cloth which has been
wrung almost dry in warm soapy water. The cover can be polished with a soft dry
cloth.
Note that the rst time you use your sandwich toaster, you may notice a slight burning
smell and a little smoke. This is completely normal and will soon disappear.

The cooking plates feature the exclusive DuraCeramic™coating. This specialised natural
ceramic coating is designed to transfer heat quicker and more efciently than standard
non-stick coatings – meaning faster cooking times for your delicious home-cooked
snacks. In addition, the DuraCeramic™coating is scratch resistant and 4 times more
durable than standard non-stick coatings – this is a product built to last. Peace of mind
comes from the fact that the DuraCeramic™coating is PTFE and PFOA free, so this
exclusive coating is durable and easy to clean.
DuraCeramic™coating – designed to handle whatever you throw at it with ease.

Recipe ideas
Making toasties is easy and fun, they can be as creative or as simple as you like and
make great snacks whether eaten at home or on the go.
Using basic ingredients delicious sweet or savoury meals can be made in minutes,
perfect for any time of the day. Here are some classic toasted sandwich recipes that you
may wish to try.
Breads
For best results, use a supermarket own-label, medium, white sliced bread. For variety,
why not try using wholemeal bread, Danish-style bread, seeded breads, sourdough and
fruit breads.
Cheeses
Classic cheeses that melt easily like Cheddar, Gruyère and Emmental make excellent
toasties. We’ve included some different cheeses in our recipes but why not experiment
and get creative with your own favourite cheeses!
Theperfecttoastie
Even if you are already familiar with using a sandwich toaster, it’s worth following the
guidelines below.
1. Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on
if required. The green power light will come on and your sandwich toaster will start
heating up.
• Tuna Melt (tuna, onion, mayonnaise
and cheese)
• Cheese and tomato
• Cheese, beans and ham
• Turkey, stufng and cranberry
• Ham, Brie, mushrooms and rocket
• Steak and mushrooms
• BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato)
• Bacon and cheese
• Chicken, red pepper and Brie
• Sweet chilli chicken
• Sausage and scrambled eggs
• Camembert and cranberry
• Chocolate and banana
• Banana and plum
• Toffee and apple

using your sandwich toaster
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come
on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking.
4. Place the two lower slices of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Face
the crusts of the bread to the left and right as shown below.
5. Add the lling. The deeper cooking plates allow you to use more of your favourite
ingredients but always allow a 2cm gap around the lling as shown below. This will
allow your sandwich toaster to form a good seal and prevent the lling from leaking
out.
For best results, the maximum amount of cheese, when used as a single ingredient,
should not exceed 60g. If you add other ingredients, reduce the amount of cheese to
compensate for them.
6. Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side on the outside (this will give
your toastie a lovely golden colour during cooking).
7. Close and latch the lid and allow to cook for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked.
Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
8. Release the latch and open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam—use a tea towel
or wear oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula.
Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
9. Once cooked, take care when eating as llings, especially fruit or tomato, can be
very hot.
