nEach plate is embossed with ‘Low’ or ‘Up’. Select the ‘Low’ plate, hold it flat with the
positioning guides facing away from you and the ‘Low’ embossed sign facing up.
nAlign the two positioning guides to the back of the plate with the brackets on the
bottom of the appliance housing base. Tilt the back of the plate and slide it underneath
the brackets. Push down the front end of the plate until it locks into place.

guides facing away and down. Align the plate with the brackets on the underside of
the lid of the product and push down the front to the locked position.

B Using The Sandwich Maker
nPlug the appliance into a suitable mains socket.
nAlthough the plates have a non-stick coating, we recommend that you season the
sandwich plates with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or
pastry brush.
nTurn the temperature control dial to the desired setting for cooking; Low, Medium or
High.
nWhen the dial is in place a red light will illuminate on top of the appliance to indicate
that the power is on.
nOnce the appliance has reached the optimal temperature, the green light will illuminate
to indicate the appliance is ready to cook.
nPlace the ingredients on the bottom plate. Close the lid and lock the handle.
nThe green light runs on a thermostat and indicates when the product is up to
temperature. As part of the cooking cycle the light will go on and off during this
process. You will need to assess if the food is cooked by lifting the lid.
nWhen you are happy the food is cooked, remove it by gently loosening the edges with
a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the non-
stick coating.
N.B. The first time you use the appliance, it may have a slight odour and may smoke a
little. This is normal and common for appliances with a non-stick surface.

Hints &Tips
nThe Sandwich Maker has been designed with a handle that locks down to secure the
contents when cooking.
nAlways preheat your Cuisinart Sandwich Maker completely before using.
nThe lid of the sandwich maker should be closed whilst preheating.
nThe sandwich plates measure 14cm x 13.5cm and are designed to accommodate
breads of all shapes and sizes.
nBreads longer than 14cm can easily be toasted lengthwise or diagonal. Breads can
also be sliced from whole loaves.
nButter and olive oil are recommended for coating the outside of bread when making
sandwiches.
n“Light/Low Fat” versions of margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand
heat (check manufacturer’s labels for cooking recommendations for best results).
nButter at room temperature is more suitable when spreading on bread, or melt and
apply with a pastry brush. For best results, moist ingredients such as sliced tomatoes
or fruits, pickles, etc., should be blotted or patted dry with a paper towel.

12
Cleaning &Maintenance
nBefore first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
nOnce you have finished cooking, turn the selector control to the ‘Off’ position, unplug
the power cord from the mains, and allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes
before handling.
nThe sandwich plates can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic
objects such as knives when cleaning. This will damage the non stick coating. Use
wooden or heatproof plastic utensils only.
nThe housing base, cover and control knobs can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.
For tough stains dampen the cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad.
nNever leave plastic utensils in contact with the appliance.
nMake sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
nNever wrap the cord around the outside of the appliance.
nNever immerse the plug, lead or housing in water or any other liquid.
nFor compact storage inside cupboards, the appliance can be stored in an upright
position.
nThe sandwich maker has been designed with a special latch so the lid stays closed
during storage.
