Congratulations on the purchase of your Russell Hobbs appliance. Each unit is manufactured to
ensure safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the first time, please read the instruction
booklet carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on the appliance.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
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 rm, 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. This will help to cure and protect the non-
stick cooking plates when heated for the rst 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 o as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
• After several cycles of the green temperature light, switch o the power and allow the cook-
ing 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.
• 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 o as the thermostat maintains thetemperature).
• Raise the top cooking plate using the handle and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking
plate.
• Lower the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a oating hinge and will
automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich as it closes.
• A sandwich may take 6-8 minutes to cook, depending on the preferred level of browning
required and the type of bread used.
• Carefully monitor the cooking process as the cooking times required for dierent bread types
can vary signicantly.
• When the sandwich is cooked as desired, lift the top cooking plate using the handle. Re-
move the sandwich using a plastic, silicone or wooden utensil.
CAUTION: Never use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.
• When nished, switch o the wall power outlet and remove the plug.
• Allow the unit to cool and wipe the plates clean.
• Close the top lid and press the handle lock to lock the top into the closed position
for storage.
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
Types of bread:
• The Sandwich Press can be used to toast any shape, thickness and most types of bread;
White, Wholemeal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, Focaccias, Turkish Bread, Sourdough,
Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls.
• Each bread type will require a dierent amount of time cooking, so be sure to monitor your
sandwich whilst cooking.
• Dense breads such as Sourdough, Turkish Bread or Rye Bread will take longer to toast than
lighter breads such as White, Wholemeal or Bread Rolls.
• Sweet breads, such as Fruit Bread, that have a higher sugar content will tend to brown
quicker than non-sweetened bread.
fillings:
• You can toast any lling you like in your sandwich, sweet or savoury. The at plate design
also makes the Sandwich Press ideal for toasting bread without any llings or spreads.
CAUTION: Always take care when biting into a freshly toasted sandwich containing
fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as they retain heat and could scold your mouth.
• It is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snack
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.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• After use, wait for the unit to cool properly before cleaning and storing.
• Wipe the inside and edges of the heating plates with absorbent paper towel or a soft
cloth.
• Should any lling be dicult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the heating plate
and re-heat the unit for two minutes. Wait for the unit to cool for ve minutes then try to
remove the lling again.
• Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and before
cleaning.
• The body of the appliance should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to
enter the appliance.
• Do not use bleach, abrasive substances or solvents to clean your appliance as these
can be damaging to the nish.
• To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in
soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry, with a clean soft cloth.
STORING THE APPLIANCE
• Ensure that the Sandwich Press plug is removed from the power outlet.
• Ensure the unit has been cleaned and dried thoroughly before storing.
• To store the unit eectively, press the handle lock to lock the top of the Sandwich Press
