Instructions For Use
Before the rst use, we suggest you season the sandwich plates with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply
with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may nd it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the
sandwich maker.
A Fitting & Removing The Plates

ßPlace the appliance in the open position with the controls directly in front of you.
ßEach plate is embossed with ‘Low’ or ‘Up’. Select the ‘Low’ plate, hold it at with the positioning guides
facing away from you and the ‘Low’ embossed sign facing up.
ßAlign 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.
ßSelect the ‘Up’ plate and with the ‘Up’ embossed sign facing up and the two positioning 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.

ßOnce the appliance has reached the optimal temperature, the green light will illuminate to indicate the
appliance is ready to cook.
ßPlace the ingredients on bottom plate according to recipes. Close the lid and lock the handle.
ßIt may take a few seconds for the green light to switch off. This is normal.
ßOnce the food is cooked and ready to eat, the green light will illuminate.

Hints & Tips
Using the Sandwich Maker
ßThe Overstuffed Sandwich Maker has been designed with a unique handle that locks down to secure the
contents when cooking.
ßAlways preheat your Cuisinart Overstuffed Sandwich Maker completely before using.
ßThe lid of the sandwich maker should be closed whilst preheating.
ßThe sandwich plates measure 14cm x 13.5cm and are designed to accommodate breads of all shapes and
sizes.
ßBreads longer than 14cm can easily be toasted lengthwise or diagonal. Breads can also be sliced from
whole loaves.
ßButter, margarine, and olive oil are recommended for coating the outside of bread when making
sandwiches.
ß“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).
ßButter or margarine 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
ßBefore rst use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
ßOnce you have nished 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.
ßThe 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.
ßThe 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.
ßNever leave plastic utensils in contact with the appliance.
ßMake sure all the parts are clean and dry before storing.
ßNever wrap the cord around the outside of the appliance.
ßNever immerse the plug, lead or housing in water or any other liquid.
ßFor compact storage inside cupboards, the appliance can be stored in an upright position.
ßThe sandwich maker has been designed with a special latch so lid stays closed during storage.
