When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following:

■ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

■ To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug, or the appliance

in water or other liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting

on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical
or mechanical adjustment.

■ The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards.

■ Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of table or counter, as it could be pulled off.

■ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

■ Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot

liquids.

■ To use, plug cord into electrical outlet. To disconnect, grasp plug and remove from

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the
plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into any AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other type of outlet.

FEATURES:

• Thermostatically controlled fast and even heat distribution.

• The power/temperature light turns on with initial plug-in but will turn off and on as the
thermostat automatically keeps the sandwich maker at the proper baking
temperature.

• Latch to secure the handles.

• Unique plastic handles stay cool during baking.

• Base of the unit allows for the cord to be wrapped around and easily stored.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

After unpacking the sandwich maker, open cover and wipe the top and bottom heating
plates with a damp cloth and towel dry. Brush or wipe the heating plates with a small
amount of vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.

TO USE:

1. Insert plug firmly into wall outlet. The power/temperature light will turn on.

2. Lightly glaze both heating plates with a small amount of vegetable oil or a non-stick

spray, and close the casing for the sandwich maker to heat up.

3. After 4-6 minutes, the power/temperature light will turn off, indicating that the

sandwich maker is ready for use.

4. Prepare sandwiches by buttering bread on outer surfaces and placing desired

ingredients within. Lift cover latch and open the sandwich maker; place sandwiches
on the heating plates. CAUTION: Cooking surface is hot; handle with care.

5. Close the casing to ensure that the sandwich is placed evenly; lock the handle.

Normal cooking time will be 3-6 minutes for each sandwich. The power/temperature
light will turn off and on, as the thermostat keeps the sandwich maker at the proper
baking temperature.

6. Remove the sandwiches from the heating plates with a plastic (non-metallic) utensil.

BE CAREFUL with the sandwiches; the fillings will be quite hot. Allow to cool for a few
moments before enjoying.

7. Unplug the power supply cord after cooking, and allow the sandwich maker to cool

down.

Create your favorite sandwiches quickly and easily. Follow your own recipes, or see
