on. Remove all packaging before use.
AIMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The sandwich toaster must only be used by or under the supervision of a
responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2 Don’t use raw meat of any kind in the sandwich toaster. All fillings must be safe and
fit to eat before they are used in the sandwich toaster.
3 Don’t put the sandwich toaster in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near
water, or outdoors.
4 Don’t touch hot parts – use the handles.
5 Sit the sandwich toaster on a stable, level, heatproof (not just heat-resistant) surface.
6 Bread, oil, and other foods may burn. Don’t use the sandwich toaster near or below
curtains or other combustible materials, and watch it while in use.
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
8 Don’t wrap food in plastic film, polythene bags, or metal foil. You’ll damage the
sandwich toaster, and you may cause a fire hazard.
9 Keep the sandwich toaster and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
10 Unplug the sandwich toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning.
11 Don’t use the sandwich toaster for any purpose other than toasting sandwiches/
making toasties.
12 Don’t fit attachments or accessories unless we supply them.
13 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
14 Don’t use the sandwich toaster if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

household use only
UBEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Wipe the non-stick surfaces of the toasting plates with a damp cloth.
CPREPARATION
1 Sit the sandwich toaster on a stable, level, heatproof (not just heat-resistant) surface.
2 Don’t use the sandwich toaster near or below curtains or other combustible
materials, and watch it while in use.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
5 The red light (power) will glow as long as the sandwich toaster is connected to the
electricity supply.
6 The green light (ready) will glow when the elements reach the correct cooking
temperature, then cycle on and off with the thermostat.
7 Wait till the green light (ready) glows before starting to cook.
CMAKING TOASTIES
8 Use a level dessertspoon of filling per toastie. Too much will ooze out.
9 Fresh medium-sliced bread is best.
10 Cut 8 slices of bread to overlap the plates by about 0.5cm (¼ inch) all round.

11 Spread butter/margarine thinly on each slice – don’t use low fat spread.
12 Low fat spreads may burn, damaging the non-stick surfaces.
,Toasties are made buttered side out.
13 Put 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the bottom toasting plate.
14 Press the bread gently into the hollows in the toasting plate with a wooden spoon.
15 Fill the hollows formed in the bread with the filling.
caution Don’t use raw meat of any kind in the sandwich toaster. All fillings must be
safe and fit to eat before they are used in the sandwich toaster.
16 Lay a slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of each of the filled slices.
17 Close the lid, squeeze the handles together, and press in the latch.
18 Cook for 2-4 minutes, or till the outside of the bread turns golden brown.
19 If the toasties stick, use a plastic or wooden spatula to release them.
CCARE AND MAINTENANCE
20 Unplug the sandwich toaster and let it cool before cleaning and storing away.
21 Wipe the toasting plates, and the external surfaces with a damp cloth.
22 Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
23 Don’t put the sandwich toaster in water or any other liquid.
24 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
25 Don’t use scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.
26 At the places where the top and bottom toasting plates make contact, the non-stick
surfaces may show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the
operation of the sandwich toaster.
