reach more than halfway beneath the appliance).
Site Preparation
Ensure the site is level and properly cleaned.
The toaster is to be placed on a suitable bench or worktop, at a comfortable working height. (850mm –
900mm)
Ensure the press toaster is placed on a level, stable work surface, away from other heat, water or grease
emitting devices.
Allow an air gap between the machine and other objects or surfaces. We recommend a minimum gap of
100mm for normal operational use (if the machine is near any heat sensitive material we suggest you
allow additional space). Please consult national and local standards to ensure that your machine is
positioned in accordance with any existing requirement.

Electrical Connection
WARNING!
This machine must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 60335.1
Information
The electrical supply shall comply with the rating plate data.
The machine is supplied with a plug and lead (10A).
Ensure that machine is connected to a power point with compatible power rating of 240 volts 10 amps.
The machine must be plugged directly into the power outlet. The use of extension leads or power boards
are not to be used.
The equipment should be earthed according to local electrical codes to prevent the possibility of electrical
shock. It requires an earthed receptacle with separate electrical lines, protected by fuses or circuit
breaker of the proper rating.
If the supply cord is damaged, it MUST be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Power cable cannot be stretched kinked, pressed, during
normal operation, service or anytime
WARNING!
Some procedures in this manual require the power to the equipment to be turned off and
isolated. Turn the power OFF at the power point and unplug the power supply lead by the
plug body. If the power point is not readily accessible turn the equipment off at the isolation
switch or the circuit breaker in the switchboard. Attach a yellow “CAUTION-DO NOT
OPERATE” tag. This must be performed where relevant unless the procedures specify
otherwise.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

CAUTION!
Do not keep the plates closed for extended periods at high temperatures without any
food product being cooked, as this may cause the plates to buckle.
Operating Instructions
First Time Operation
Before cooking for the first time the plates need to be seasoned as follows:
Visually check the toaster is clean, in good repair and safe.
Wipe the top and bottom plates clean and apply a liberal coating of paraffin or vegetable oil.
Set the thermostat to 100oC. The pilot light will illuminate indicating that the grill is heating.
When the grill has reached the set temperature the pilot light will go out. Wipe the excess oil from the
plates. (Caution: take care when wiping excess oil off plates as plates and oil will be hot.)
Cooking
Visually check the toaster is clean, in good repair and safe.
Lightly grease the plates and set the thermostat to the desired cooking temperature. As a guide, a setting
of 215oC should suffice for toasted sandwiches but experience will dictate the most appropriate settings to
use.
Allow a short warm up time - around 20 minutes should suffice.
Place the food on the bottom plate and close the top plate onto the food.
During intermittent use, it is recommended that the plates be kept closed when not cooking. While closed, the
temperature should be turned down to around 150oC. This will minimise heat loss, save power and provide a
faster heat up time when the grill is next required.
Temperature Adjustment
The temperature of the plates can be adjusted by using the thermostat knob located on the front of the
unit.
After Hours
The unit MUST be switched OFF.
CAUTION!
The surfaces on this unit are hot!

Some cleaning agents can damage stainless steel. For this reason we recommend
cleaning with soapy water. Woodson do not take any responsibility for damage
caused by the use of inappropriate cleaning agents.
In some areas, particularly seaside environments, stainless steel can be subject to
surface discolouration or “tea staining”. This can be removed with an appropriate
cleaning agent which contains 10% sodium citrate. Ask your supplier of cleaning
chemicals for a suitable brand.
External Surfaces
Clean the stainless steel and metal parts with warm (not hot) soapy water and a sponge.
Rinsed the stainless steel and metal parts with clean, fresh water.
After cleaning, thoroughly wipe the stainless steel and metal parts dry with a soft cloth. Do NOT let water
pool on the unit. Check crevices and folds.

Stainless Steel Protection
Cleaning
For cleaning a stain on the surface of the stainless steel, check the cleaning section of the operation
manual.
All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or scapes as these can lead to rust
and further damage to the product.
Corrosion Protection
Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to corrosion however, if not properly maintained stainless steel can
rust.
Any sign of mild rust or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and dried as soon
as possible.
NEVER use abrasive pads or cleaners for cleaning.
Medium rust or corrosion can treated by a commercial cleaning agent that contains
citric/oxalic/nitric/phosphoric. Do NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals as this
can cause corrosion. A lemon slice or a few drops few drops of lemon juice added to the water can be
used as a substitute. After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Thoroughly wipe the surfaces dry after cleaning and do NOT let water pool on the unit. Check crevices and
folds for pooling.
If an abrasive product is used while cleaning, thoroughly dry the unit and leave in an open or oxidised
area for the stainless steel protective layer to replenish.
When using, ensure all liquids and moisture is cleaned up straight away. Food liquids such as juices from
vegetables and fruits should NOT be left on preparation surfaces.
Do NOT leave items on the stainless steel such as cutting boards, rubber mats and bottles.
Surface Finish
To protect the polish, stainless steel should be dried by wiping a dry soft cloth in the same direction as the
grain.
For NON-food contact surfaces, a light oil can be wiped on the surfaces with a cloth to enhance the
stainless steel surface. Wipe in the direction of the grain.
Some commercial stainless stain cleaners can leave residue or film on the metal; this may trap fine
particles of food on the surface, thus deeming the surfaces not food safe.
