Functions
BEFORE FIRST USE
Check that cooking plates are clean and free of
dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.
Place the toastie maker on a flat, level surface
with the lid in the closed position.
1. Insert the power plug into a 230/240v
power point and turn the power on. The red
power 'ON' light will illuminate.
2. Allow toastie maker to preheat (with the
lid closed) until the green 'READY' light
illuminates.
3. During this time, prepare the toasties by
buttering up to four slices of bread and
preparing filling.
4. Place up to two slices of bread on the plates,
buttered sides down. Place filling on top
of bread.
5. Place remaining bread on filling, buttered
side up.
6. Carefully close the lid and clip handles
together. Do not force the lid to close.
NOTE
The green 'READY' light will cycle on and off
during the toasting process indicating that the
correct temperature is being maintained.

7. Toasting should take approximately three
minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
8. When the toastie is cooked, remove it with
the help of a plastic or wooden spatula.
Never use metal tongs or a knife as these
can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
9. To maintain heat, keep the lid closed until
you are ready to toast the next sandwich.
NOTE
At all times the lid must be closed when
cooking.
When using the toastie maker for the first
time you may notice a fine smoke haze.
This is caused by the heating of some of the
components. There is no need for concern.
WARNING
Steam will be ejected from between the
cooking plates when the lid is closed.
Be careful not to make contact with the steam
as it may cause burns.
Fully unwind power cord from cord storage
facility before use.
Hints & Tips
BREAD
The toastie maker is designed for use with
supersized and regular-sized bread. With
extra large cooking plates, it seals and cooks
the toastie. Most types of bread can be used;
white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain,
raisin loaf and so on. When using raisin bread,
brioche or other sweet breads which contain
high sugar content, remember they will
brown faster.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh
fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.
Be careful when biting into toasties containing
fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam
as they retain heat and can burn if eaten
too quickly.
One quarter cup of filling for each toastie is
sufficient. Do not overfill your toasties.
BUTTER OR MARGARINE
For best results we recommend to butter the
outside of the bread i.e. place filling between
the unbuttered sides of bread.
If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule
counting, the outside of the bread may be left
unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to
prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier.
To season, brush the cooking plates with a
little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with
absorbent paper.
Do this after preheating the unit.
Do not use spray or non-stick coatings as this
will affect the performance of the non-stick
surface on the cooking plates.
For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of caster
sugar over the outer buttered sides of the bread
will make them extra delicious.
For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for
spreading on bread.
REHEATING
If the toastie is not being eaten immediately,
place it on a paper napkin to absorb
condensation. To keep for longer, place on a
rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a
low oven, about 100°C. The toastie will keep
hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then
begin to dry out.
Care & Cleaning
IMPORTANT
Do not immerse any part of the toastie maker
in water or any liquid.
Before cleaning, turn the power off at
the power outlet and then remove the
power plug.
Allow your toastie maker to cool, lightly.
The toastie maker is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
Always clean your toastie maker after each
use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.
Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth.
If cooked on food is not removed by this
method, brush with a little oil or melted
butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then
wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE
The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick
surface, do not use abrasives.
