Before First Use
Care and cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Before use and when heating up the
Sandwich Press for the first time, a slight
odour and/or fine smoke may occur. This
is caused by the heating of the elements
and new components and is harmless.
Provide adequate ventilation.
CAUTION:
To avoid burns, caution should be
taken when handling the Sandwich
Press.
1. Before first use, carefully unpack
Sandwich Press and remove all
packaging and materials.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp,
soft cloth and dry well. Never immerse
in water.
3. Place Sandwich Press on flat, level
surface. Unscrew Adjustable Height
knob, allowing top and bottom to open
and close.
4. Cooking plates must be in closed
position for pre-heating.
5. Before using the Sandwich Press for
the first time, the non-stick plates must
be seasoned during the preheating
(until the green light comes on) to
protect the non-stick surface. Season
plates by applying a thin coat of
cooking oil, butter or margarine to the
cooking surfaces and rub in with a
paper towel. Exercise care as the
cooking surfaces will be hot.
After use and before cleaning, turn off
power at wall, unplug unit and wait for it to
cool.
Wipe inside and edges of heating plate
with absorbent paper towels or with a soft
cloth.
If any filling is difficult to remove from the
plates, pour a little cooking oil onto the
heating plate and reheat for 1-2 minutes.
Turn power off and wipe off after 5 minutes
when filling has softened.
Wipe outside with slightly moist cloth,
ensuring that no moisture, oil or grease
enter the appliance.
DO NOT clean any parts of the unit with
abrasive scouring pads or steel wool as
they will damage and scratch the non-stick
plates.
DO NOT place this unit in a dishwasher.
DO NOT use spray-on cleaners as they
will affect the performance on the non-
stick surface on the cooking plates.
STORAGE: Wrap cord around Cord
Storage Wrap which is underneath the
unit. Store in upright position.

Operating Your Sandwich Press
1. Plug power cord into a 240V power
outlet and turn power ON.
2. The Power On (red) light will
illuminate, indicating that there is
power to the unit.
3. Preheat the plates for 2-4 minutes.
The Ready (green) light will illuminate
to indicate when preheat is completed.
4. Maximum temperature is reached 5
seconds after Ready (green) light
comes on.
5. If you are using the Sandwich Press
for the first time only, season the
cooking plates as described in the
BEFORE FIRST USE section.
6. Prepare your sandwich while the unit
preheats and, when the Ready (green)
light comes on, place your sandwich
on the Bottom Cooking Plate. Always
place sandwich towards rear of
cooking plate. Ready (green) light will
light on and off as thermostat
regulates temperature.
7. Close Top Cooking Plate, which, due
to the Floating Hinge, automatically
adjusts to the thickness of the
sandwich. This ensures even toasting
8. If you do not want your sandwich to be
pressed down, turn the Top Plate
Adjustment Knob clockwise to hold the
Top Plate at desired height. This is
also useful is you are cooking a “Melt”
or similar style snack where you wish
top plate and heat to be close to, but
not to push down on, the snack.
9. Toasting should take approximately 5-
8 minutes. Exact toasting times will
depend on type of bread, thickness of
bread and types of fillings.
10. Open the lid when sandwich is
cooked. Always remove the sandwich
by using a plastic or wooden spatula.
Never use metal utensils as they will
scratch or damage the non-stick
coating.
11. Close lid to preserve heat until ready
to toast next sandwich.
12. After use, turn off power at wall and
unplug.
1. The Sandwich Press can be used to
toast most types of bread; white,
wholemeal, multigrain, rye, raisin/fruit,
foccacia, Turkish, baguettes, bread
rolls.
2. Sweet breads such as raisin/fruit
bread and brioche, that contain a
higher sugar content, will tend to
brown more quickly.
3. For soft or liquid sandwich fillings, use
medium sliced bread.
4. The Sandwich Press is ideal for
toasting plain breads or Turkish
breads with no fillings or toppings.
5. The Sandwich Press will heat food but
WILL NOT cook raw ingredients. We
recommend that you precook raw
meats or fish and partially precook
large pieces of raw fruit or vegetables.
