using your sandwich press Take care around hot surfaces. The cooking plates get VERY HOT. DO NOT touch any parts until completely cooled. Steam will escape from all around the sandwich press during cooking and when opening the lid. Never leave your sandwich press unattended while in use. Note: During first use there may be a small amount of smoke and a slight burning odour.
using your sandwich press Bread Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. Your sandwich press is ideal for toasting foccacia, Turkish bread, bagettes as well as bread rolls. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
care and cleaning Always unplug your appliance before cleaning it. Never immerse any part of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or cleaning materials. 1. Switch off and unplug the sandwich press from the mains supply. 2.
