BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT: Ensure all packaging, labels and tags have been removed before connecting
to the power for the first time.
Position the Sandwich Press in a well ventilated area, on a firm, level, heat-resistant
surface, clear of curtains, drapes and other combustible materials.
Clean the cooking plates thoroughly using a soft damp cloth and dry with a kitchen towel.
Lightly wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil, butter or margarine. This will help to cure
and protect the non-stick cooking plates when heated for the first time.
With the lid closed, connect the Sandwich Press to the wall power outlet and switch it on.
The red power and green temperature lights will illuminate.
When the Sandwich Press has reached operating temperature, the green light will extinguish.
The green light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
After several cycles of the green temperature light, switch off the power and allow the
cooking plates to cool. Wipe the plates clean with a soft cloth.
The Sandwich Press is now ready for general use.
NOTE: When operating the Sandwich Press for the first time, the unit may emit an odour
and a small amount of vapour as the new elements and cooking plates cure; this is normal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is a good idea to apply a light coating of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the
non-stick cooking plates before each use.

because the Sandwich Press has non-stick plates.
TIP: When toasting ingredients that melt when heated and can spill out the sides of your
snack (such as cheese, mayonnaise or jam), a very light coating of cooking oil, butter or
margarine on the plates will assist with cleaning the plates and prolong the lifespan of the
non-stick surface, whilst adding minimum fat to your sandwich.
