HOW TO USE

FEATURES:

•Thermostatically controlled fast and even heat distribution.

•The power/temperature light turns on with initial plug-in but will turn off and on as the thermostat automatically keeps the sandwich maker at the proper baking temperature.

•Latch to secure the handles.

•Unique plastic handles stay cool during baking.

•Base of the unit allows for the cord to be wrapped around and easily stored.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

After unpacking the sandwich maker, open cover and wipe the top and bottom heating plates with a damp cloth and towel dry. Brush or wipe the heating plates with a small amount of vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.

TO USE:

1.Insert plug firmly into wall outlet. The power/temperature light will turn on.

2.Lightly glaze both heating plates with a small amount of vegetable oil or a non-stick spray, and close the casing for the sandwich maker to heat up.

3.After 4-6 minutes, the power/temperature light will turn off, indicating that the sandwich maker is ready for use.

4.Prepare sandwiches by buttering bread on outer surfaces and placing desired ingredients within. Lift cover latch and open the sandwich maker; place sandwiches on the heating plates. CAUTION: Cooking surface is hot; handle with care.

5.Close the casing to ensure that the sandwich is placed evenly; lock the handle. Normal cooking time will be 3-6 minutes for each sandwich. The power/temperature light will turn off and on, as the thermostat keeps the sandwich maker at the proper baking temperature.

6.Remove the sandwiches from the heating plates with a plastic (non-metallic) utensil. BE CAREFUL with the sandwiches; the fillings will be quite hot. Allow to cool for a few moments before enjoying.

7.Unplug the power supply cord after cooking, and allow the sandwich maker to cool down.
