•The sandwich toaster gets hot very quickly and takes a long time to cool down again. Only touch the sandwich toaster at the handle. Never place the sandwich toaster next to hot objects (e.g. cookers or ovens) or in the vicinity of flammable materials (e.g. curtains).

PREPARING THE SANDWICH TOASTER

•Once the sandwich toaster has been unpacked, 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 comes on and the heating plates heat up.

•When the green indicator light comes on, the sandwich toaster has reached the correct temperature and is ready for use. Now place 1-2 sandwiches on the bottom hotplate.

•Close the upper section so that it rests on top of the food. Lock the handle by clipping the lock 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 moment until the sandwich has got a little thinner, and now lock the handles together.

•Both hotplates 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 during use. Touch the handle only. 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, melamine 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.
