nEach plate is embossed with
‘Low’ or ‘Up’. Select the
‘Low’ plate, hold it flat with
the positioning guides facing

nPress the button on the Lower housing and repeat the above method
to remove the “Low” plate.
N.B: Always allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before
removing the plates.
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.
nIt may take a few seconds for the green light to switch off. This is
normal.
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 to appliances with
a non-stick surface.

Hints & Tips
Using the Sandwich Maker
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, 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 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 lid stays
closed during storage.
