STARTING UP THE UNIT
Non-Stick Coating: Grease the grill plates slightly before using for the first time. Use appliance for 10
minutes with the grill plates closed without food (see use of the appliance). Then wipe them clean with a
moist cloth.
NOTE: For the first use only, season the cooking plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter, or
margarine and rub it with a paper towel. Be careful, as the plates will be hot.
USING YOUR SANDWICH PRESS
1. Place the Sandwich Press on a flat, level surface, with the lid closed. Glide the ‘Unlock’ storage clip,
this will unlock the cooking plates.
2. Insert the drip collection tray in the front opening. Put the plug into an earthed 230V, 50Hz mains
socket.
MAIN CONTROL LAMP
As soon as you have inserted the plug, the green main control lamp will light up, which indicates that the
device is connected to the mains plug.
WARM-UP TIME
The warm-up time is approximately 5 mins. During this time, you should keep the grilling surfaces closed.
WARNING: When the lid is closed, steam will escape from inside the Sandwich Press. Be careful
not to come in contact with the steam, as it can cause burns.
NOTE: the green ‘Ready’ indicator light will cycle on and off during toasting. This indicates that the
correct temperature is being maintained.
NOTE: Never use metal utensils to remove the sandwich, as it can damage the non-stick coating.
3. When the red control lamp lights up, the grilling temperature has been reached.
4. Open the cover and place the food to be grilled. Then close the lid gently.

5. Grilling is finished after 8 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the food being grilled).
6. Open the cover and remove the cooked food with a wooden fork or similar kitchen utensil.
NOTE: Do not use sharp or cutting objects as they may damage the coating of the grill plates.
7. When food is not being grilled, the grill surfaces should always be kept closed.
CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces, always use the handle.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use the locking clip to lock the upper plate when there is food between the
plates. Do not use metal utensils as they will scratch and damage the non-stick coating.
NOTE: Do not overload the sandwich press with abnormal thickness or too much stuffing between
the slices. This may damage the hinges of the unit (this unit does not have adjustable hinges).
SWITCHING OFF
In order to stop the cooking process, remove the mains plug from the socket.
HANDY HINTS
•This Sandwich Press is designed for regular sized bread. Most types of breads can be used, but
when using sweet breads, keep in mind that they will brown faster due to the high sugar content.
•Do not overfill your toasted sandwich, and allow the sandwich to cool slightly before eating, as most
fillings retain heat and can cause burns if eaten too quickly.
•Even though the cooking plates are non-stick, we recommend using butter or margarine on the
outside of the bread, this helps prevent sticking and toasts the sandwiches nicely.
•The cooking times will depend on the type, thickness and volume of foods, whatever; you can
increase the cooking times.
•Do not cook frozen food and do not attempt to defrost frozen food in the grill. All food must be fully
and completely defrosted before cooking.
CLEANING AND STORING
1. Before commencing any cleaning, turn the power off at the outlet and remove the power plug.
2. Allow the Sandwich Press to completely cool down first before moving and cleaning.
3. Always clean your Sandwich Press after each and every use. This prevents the buildup of foods
that have been baked on.
4. Wipe the cooking plates with a soft damp cloth or sponge. As the cooking plates are non-stick,
avoid the use of any abrasive cleaners as it will damage the plates. If this fails to remove all
residues, soften them with a little oil.
5. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth, do not use any abrasive cleaners.
6. Once the Sandwich Press has cooled completely, store it either flat or upright. Keeping it in its
original box is recommended.
WARNING: Do not immerse any part of the Sandwich Press in water or any other liquid.

Heating Plate
1. Please remove any food residues while they are still warm with a damp cloth or paper towel.
2. Clean the heating plate with a soft sponge and soapy water. Then wipe off with clear water and dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. After drying please apply a thin film of edible oil to the surface.
Drip Collecting Tray
1. Pull out of the drip collecting tray. Shake the contents out and clean the drawer in a soapy water.
Housing
1. Clean the housing after use with a slightly damp cloth.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
