OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When using for the first time, wipe the surface of the plates with a damp cloth and dry. Season the plates
with butter, margarine or cooking fat.
2. Plug into the wall socket. The red ready light and green light will come on.
3. Close the Sandwich Maker and prepare sandwich while the plates are heating. Place butter on one side of
both slices of bread.
4. Fully open the cover and then place a slice of bread in the bottom half with buttered side against the plate.
5. Fill the sandwich, pressing the bottom half into the plate.
6. Put on the top slice with the buttered side up and carefully close the two parts of the Sandwich Maker
together. Do not force shut. Steam will be ejected from between the plate while doing this. Care must be
taken to ensure that fingers do not come into contact with steam.
7. Lock the two halves with the cover lock while toasting is taking place.
NOTE – During toasting the preheat light will cycle on and off while the thermostat keeps the plates at the
right temperature.
8. Your sandwich will be toasted in 2-3 minutes or longer to suit your taste. Unlock and lift up the cover and
take out sandwich using plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal knife as this may damage the surface
of the heating plate.
9. Close the lid to preserve the heat until ready to toast the next sandwiches.
10. Prepare more sandwiches if required while the others are being toasted.
11. After use, unplug the unit from the wall socket.

heat.

SPECIAL NOTES
Function of Thermostat
This unit has a built-in thermostat (temperature regulator) to prevent overheating. The Preheat light automatically

HINTS TO OBTAIN THE BEST TOASTING
1. Always let the sandwich preheat before use. Plug the AC cord into power outlet while preparing the fillings.
2. For soft or liquid sandwich fillings, use medium sliced bread.
3. Flavored butters may also be used.
4. Use bacon dripping for adding flavor. Brush drippings on the outside of the bread.
5. The suggested garnishes for savory sandwiches: lettuce, parsley, mint cress, stuffed olive halves, onion,
tomato etc.
6. Sprinkling a teaspoon of sugar on the outside can make toasted sandwiches crisper (especially with fruit
fillings).
