to make toasted
sandwiches
1 Close the lid and plug in. The power
on light will come on.
2 The temperature light will come on
once the correct cooking
temperature has been reached.
3 Whilst the sandwich maker is heating
up prepare the bread and filling.
Always select bread of a suitable
size to fit the plates.

carefully remove them using a
wooden or plastic spatula.
