Preparing the Sandwich Toaster, Use | Melissa 643-095, 643-036

•Appliances are not inteded to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

PREPARING THE SANDWICH TOASTER

•Once the sandwich toaster has been unpack- ed, you must ensure that any packaging inside the appliance itself is also removed.

•Wipe the sandwich toaster’s hotplates with a damp cloth before using it for the first time (see

Cleaning). Then oil the hotplates with a small amount of butter, margarine or cooking oil.

USE

•Place the sandwich toaster on a hard, flat surface.

•Place the plug in the socket. The red indicator light (2) and the green indicator light (1) light up, and the hotplates (6, 7) begin to heat up.

•When the green indicator light (1) goes out, the sandwich toaster has reached the correct temperature and is ready for use. Now place

1-2 sandwiches on the bottom hotplate (7).

•Close the upper section (5) so that it rests on top of the food. Lock the handle by clipping the lock (4) on the top section to the bottom section of the handle.

•If the sandwich is very thick, you must not try to press the hotplates together completely so they can be closed with the lock. Wait a mo- ment until the sandwich has got a little thinner, and now lock the handles together.

•Both hotplates (6, 7) on the sandwich toaster are heated, which reduces the cooking time.

•During cooking, the green indicator light will come on and go off several times. This merely means that the thermostat is coming on and going off from time to time.

•The sandwich is ready after approximately 3-4 minutes, depending on its thickness and filling. If you want the bread to be more golden, you should toast the sandwich a little longer.

•You can switch off the sandwich toaster at any time by removing the cord from the socket.

•Once the sandwich is ready, you should open the sandwich toaster carefully.

•Warning! The metal parts will get very hot du- ring use. Touch the handle only (2). Be careful of spitting oil, fat or other liquids.

•Carefully release the sandwich using a heat- resistant plastic spatula or similar. You must not use metal utensils or utensils with a sharp edge on the hotplates, as these have a special non-stick coating. Instead use plastic, mela- mine or wooden utensils.

•Always close and unplug the sandwich toaster once the food is ready.

•Before cleaning and storing the sandwich toaster, make sure it has cooled completely.
