before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning appliance.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and
knobs.
4. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and
injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug or after the appliance malfunc- tions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors. 9. Do not let power cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Unplug the unit when finished cooking. 12. Do not use appliance for other than intended
use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an
appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
14. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. 15. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.
16. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When stor- ing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electri- cal rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over unintentionally. NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Note:
The cooking plates of this Cuisinart
TM
Sandwich Grill have been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the plates with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush. You may find it helpful to repeat this process before each use of the Sandwich Grill.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1. Before using your Cuisinart
TM
Sandwich Grill for
the first time, remove all protective paper and wrapping. Remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth.
2. To preheat the Sandwich Grill, close lid and
plug cord into a wall outlet. The red light will go on to signal power. The green indicator light will go on when unit is ready to use.
Note: The first time you use your Sandwich
Grill, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.
3. When the green indicator light goes on, place
ingredients on bottom plate according to recipes provided. Close the lid and lock it.
4. The green light will go off and the red light will
once again illuminate. It may take several seconds for the red light to come on. This is normal.
5. Once the food is ready to eat, the green light
will come on again.*
6. Remove food by gently loosening the edges
with a heatproof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating.
7. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet once cooking is completed.
* See specific instructions for cooking eggs on
page 7.

TIPS AND HINTS FOR USING YOUR CUISINART
TM
SANDWICH GRILL
Preheat Cuisinart
TM
Sandwich Grill completely
before using. For quick-to-assemble sandwiches and pastries, preheat the Sandwich Grill while preparing the food to be grilled. Close the lid of the Sandwich Grill while preheating. When preparing more than one batch of sandwiches, keep lid closed to maintain even heat. You may use a variety of breads with excellent results in the Cuisinart
TM
Sandwich Grill, from whole
wheat to cinnamon-raisin for sweeter sandwiches. Breads that are a “standard” thickness [approximately ½ inch (1.25 cm)] are best. For best results, we recommend that the bread be as close as possible to the size of the sandwich plate [5 x 4
1
⁄
2
inches (12.7 x 11 cm). Breads may
be trimmed prior to cooking to fit as needed. Bread selections may be hand sliced from whole loaves. (Use the scraps to make fresh bread crumbs or in sweet or savory bread puddings. Visit www.cuisinart.ca for recipes). Butter, margarine, or olive oil are recommended for coating the outside of bread when making sandwiches. “Light” versions of margarines are not recommended, as they do not withstand heat (check manufacturer’s labels for cooking recommendations for best results). Have butter or margarine at room temperature 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. Sauces, such as tomato sauce or salsa, can be drained for a short time in a strainer lined with a coffee filter to remove excess liquid. Use well-drained leftover cooked vegetables or thawed, well-drained frozen vegetables as additions to your sandwiches and omelet. Firm-texture breads will yield a crispier sandwich than breads with a softer texture.
Use a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden utensil to lift sandwich/pastry/omelet from the Cuisinart
TM
Sandwich Grill. Avoid using metal utensils, which may scratch the nonstick coating of the Sandwich Grill. For best results, allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2–3 minutes before cutting and serving. The fillings will be very hot, and will run less if allowed to cool slightly. Unplug the Sandwich Grill and allow unit to cool completely with lid open before cleaning. When cool, brush excess crumbs from Sandwich Grill with a soft pastry brush, then gently wipe clean with a dampened soft cloth such as one made of microfiber.
SUGGESTED SANDWICHES Sandwich fillings can be as limitless as your personal taste and imagination. You may create your own versions of traditional favourites (childhood or diner comfort foods) or combine favourite ingredients to make your own classics. To assemble sandwiches, lightly coat one side of each slice of bread (or the outside of a roll, pita loaf or English muffin) with butter, margarine or olive oil. Lay 2 slices of bread, coated side down, on work surface. Assemble sandwiches in layers and top with remaining bread, coated side up. Place on preheated Sandwich Grill. Use firm pressure to close lid; lock and cook. Green indicator light will go off and red light will come on (this may not happen immediately). When green indicator light comes on again, sand- wich is cooked. Add 15–30 seconds additional cooking time if a toastier sandwich is preferred. Remove sandwiches using a heatproof plastic spatula. Let sandwiches rest for 2–3 minutes, then cut and serve.

RECIPES
PEPPER AND CHEESE OMELETS
When making filled omelets, the filling reduces the amount of egg needed. Resist the urge to overfill the omelets or the egg may run out before it is cooked. Makes 2 servings

Eggs or Egg Whites for Breakfast Sandwiches: Use a whisk to combine either 2 large eggs or 3 large egg whites with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat Sandwich Grill, butter or lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray and pour the egg/egg white mixture evenly into the wells of the bottom plates. Cook for 2 minutes for whole eggs, or 3 minutes for egg whites. Remove and serve immediately. These are nice and dense and are perfect for your favorite breakfast sand- wich. Serve two pieces per bagel, English muffin, hard roll or toast and top with cheese, sausage or bacon.
Fluffy Scrambled Eggs or Whites: Use a whisk to combine 1 large egg or 2 large egg whites with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of milk and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat Sandwich Grill, butter or lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray and pour the egg/egg white mixture evenly into the wells of the bot- tom plates. Cook for 2 minutes for whole eggs or 3 minutes for egg whites. Remove and serve immediately. These eggs are light and fluffy – top with finely chopped chives for a little extra flavour. Note: When cooking eggs, it is very important not to over fill the plates. They should not go above the wells in the bottom plates. Use our recipes as guidelines to make your favorite combinations.
FRUIT TARTS
Use your Sandwich Grill to make this quick and easy dessert that can be served plain or topped with ice cream while still warm. Fruit tarts are also a nice alternative to packaged toaster pastries for breakfast. Makes 2 servings 4 slices firm bread – white, wheat, or sweet,
such as raisin, cinnamon swirl, or challah
2–3 teaspoons (10 - 15 ml) unsalted butter,
softened
4 tablespoons (60 mll) canned fruit pie filling
(apple, cherry, peach, blueberry)
Preheat the Sandwich Grill. Spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Top the unbuttered side of each slice with half the pie filling [2 tablespoons (30 ml)]. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up. When green indicator light is on, place the "tarts" on the bottom plates and use firm pressure to close and lock the Sandwich Grill. Cook until the green indicator light comes on again. Remove “tarts” and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving (filling will be very hot). Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a favourite ice cream or frozen yogurt.

®
), 1 teaspoon granulated
sugar and ¼teaspoon (1 ml) pure vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Spread mixture on unbuttered sides of 2 slices of buttered bread.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Once you have finished cooking in the Sandwich Grill, remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so plates begin to cool. Never take your Sandwich Grill apart for cleaning.
Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil or excess fillings by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the cooking plates by wiping with a damp cloth as well. This will prevent staining or sticking from buildup of oil or fillings. Be certain plates have cooled completely before cleaning. If food adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto area and let stand approximately 5 minutes, allowing buildup to soften for easy removal. To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
STORAGE Store with cord wrapped securely around base. For compact storage, stand Sandwich Grill upright on back end. The Sandwich Grill has been designed with a special latch so lid stays closed during storage.
