Using your sandwich toaster

Before first use

Note that the first time you use your sandwich toaster, you may notice a slight burning smell and a little smoke. This is completely normal and will soon disappear.

• Unpack your sandwich toaster. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Wipe the cooking plates with absorbent paper or a soft damp cloth.
• Clean the outside of your sandwich toaster with a soft damp cloth which has been wrung almost dry in warm soapy water. The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.

Using your toaster

Do not use the carrying handle when your sandwich toaster is switched on.

1. Plug your toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if required. The red power light and the green ready-to-cook light will come on and your sandwich toaster will start heating up. Pre-heating will take about 6 minutes.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the green ready-to-cook light goes off. This light will go on and off as your sandwich toaster maintains the right temperature.
3. Lightly brush the cooking plates with sunflower oil or spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a spread suitable for cooking. Don't use a low fat spread or one which has a high water content.
4. Place the lower slice of bread onto the bottom plate 'buttered' side down. Form a hollow with the back of a spoon and add 1-2 tbsp of the prepared filling. Don't overfill the sandwich or the filling will leak out. Add the top slice of bread buttered side up and close the lid gently and latch it. Take care because your sandwich toaster will be hot!
5. Allow the sandwich to toast for approximately 4-5 minutes. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
6. Carefully open the lid.Watch out for escaping steam around the sides of your sandwich toaster and from around the handle area—use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula. Don't use a metal blade as this will damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
7. Once cooked, take care when eating, as fillings, especially fruit or tomato, can be very hot.

Removing/refitting the plates

Unplug your sandwich toaster and allow it to fully cool down before removing or refitting the plates.

Removal

1. To remove the top plate, slide the two latches outwards and hinge the plate downwards and out of the sandwich toaster.
   
2. To remove the bottom plate, slide the two latches outwards and lift the bottom plate out of the sandwich toaster.
   

Refitting

3. To refit the top plates, position the two lugs on the top plate into the two recesses near to the hinge. Swing the plate upwards until both latches click into place.
   
4. To refit the bottom plate, position the two lugs on the bottom plate into the two recesses near to the hinge. Swing the plate downwards until both latches click into place.
