using your sandwich toaster
Beforerstuse
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.
• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Wipe the cooking plates with absorbent paper or a soft damp cloth.
• 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.
Usingyoursandwichtoaster
1. Plug your toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required.
The red ‘power on’ light will light up and your sandwich toaster will start heating up.
Pre-heating will take about 6 minutes.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the green ready-to-cook light will light up.
This light will go on and off as your sandwich toaster maintains the right temperature.
3. Lightly brush the cooking plates with sunower oil or spread the OUTSIDE of the
bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don’t use a low fat spread or one
which has a high water content.
4. Place the lower slice of bread onto the bottom plate ‘buttered’ side down. Form a
hollow with the back of a spoon and add 1-2 tbsp of the prepared lling. Don’t overl
the sandwich or the lling will leak out. Add the top slice of bread buttered side up
and close the lid gently and latch it. Take care because your sandwich toaster will be
hot!
5. Allow the sandwich to toast for approximately 4-5 minutes. Leave the sandwich in the
toaster for more or less time according to taste.
6. Unlatch 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 will damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
7. Once cooked, take care when eating, as llings, especially fruit or tomato, can be
very hot.
