sandwiches.The rectangular-shaped plates only seal the bread and
produce rectangular-shaped toasted sandwiches.

6Prepare the ingredients for your toasted sandwich.
For each sandwich you need two slices of bread and a suitable filling.

Slightly butter the sides of the bread that come into contact with the
plates to obtain an even,golden brown result.
C7The sandwich maker is ready for use as soon as the ready-to-
cook light goes out.
Put two slides of bread with the buttered sides on the lower plate,
spread the filling onto the bread and put two other slices of bread on
top,with the buttered sides pointing up.You can also toast only one
sandwich,if you wish.To ensure optimal sealing,fillings should not be
spread too close to the edges of the slices of bread.
C8Close the appliance.

mechanism clamps it onto the lower plate.
