4. Close the lid carefully and lock. Cooking time should be approximately
3-5 minutes. Exact cooking time depends on your taste. The green
indicator light will go on and off as the Sandwich Maker maintains
the correct cooking temperature.
5. When sandwiches are cooked, remove with a wooden or plastic spatula.
Never touch the cooking plates with sharp, pointed or metal utensils.
6. To make additional batches follow steps 2 – 5 or unplug the unit if you
are finished cooking.
HINTS:
• Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before using.
• Select bread that will fit the cooking plates.
• Use approximately 1/3 cup (85 ml) of filling for each sandwich.
• It is not necessary to butter bread, however, the cooking plates should
be seasoned lightly with oil occasionally.
• Do not use processed cheese.
• When using sweet filling a teaspoon of sugar on the buttered side of the
bread will add flavour and make the outside of the sandwiches crispier.
• Raisin bread or other sweet breads brown quickly so adjust cooking
time accordingly.
• Pastry may be used instead of bread.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Unplug the Sandwich Maker and allow it to cool.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with paper towels or a soft cloth. If some of the
filling has adhered to the cooking plates, pour a small amount of cooking
oil onto the baked-on food and allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Wipe with paper towels.
3. Wipe the outside of the Sandwich Maker with a soft cloth dampened in
warm soapy water. Wipe with a dampened clean cloth and dry.

in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
