OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE SANDWICH PRESS
TOASTING OPEN SANDWICH ‘MELTS’
BEFORE USE
Remove any promotional labels and/or
stickers from Sandwich Press before use.
Check that the cooking plates are clean
and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with
a damp cloth.
Place on a flat, level surface. Slide
storage clip on the left hand side of the
Sandwich Press handle backwards for the
open position. Ensure the Sandwich Press is
in the closed position for pre-heating.
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power
outlet and turn the power ‘On’. The red
power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.
2. Allow the Sandwich Press to preheat in
the closed position until the green
‘READY’ light illuminates.
3. During this time, prepare the sandwich
and place it onto the bottom cooking
plate. Always place sandwiches towards
the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate which has a
floating hinge that is designed to evenly
press down on the sandwich (see fig 1).
The storage clip should not
be used to clamp down the
top plate when the
sandwiches are in the
Sandwich Press. The
weight of the top cooking
plate will gradually press
down the sandwich during
the cooking process.
5. Toasting should take approximately 5-8
minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
Always allow the Sandwich
Press to preheat until
the green ‘READY’
light illuminates.
8. When the sandwich is cooked, open the
lid. 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.
Your Sandwich Press features an Adjustable
Toast Height Control feature which allows
you to fix the top plate to a range of positions
above the bottom plate. This allows your
Sandwich Press to be used as an open
toaster ideal for toasting open sandwich
style ‘melts’. It can also be used for toasting
sandwiches and snacks where you don’t
need to apply the weight of the top plate.
1. Allow the Sandwich Press to preheat until
the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
2. Place sandwich to be melted on
bottom plate.
3. Move the Toast Height Control clip on the
right hand side of the Sandwich Press to
the desired height (see fig 2).
fig 2
4. Slowly lower the top plate until it rests on
the height control clip.
5. The top plate will radiate the desired heat
to melt ingredients such as cheese.
The Toast Height Control
can be moved to
accommodate thick or thin
melts by sliding the clip
forwards or backwards
along the arm.
6. Toasting ‘melts’ should take
approximately 3-4 minutes. However
exact toasting time will be a matter of
taste. It will also depend on the height of
the top plate.
When using the Breville
Sandwich Press 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.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
CARE AND CLEANING
BREAD
Most types of bread can be used; white,
wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin
loaf and so on. The 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.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices
when heated.
Be careful when biting into sandwiches
containing fillings such as cheese and
tomato or jam as they retain heat and can
burn if eaten too quickly.
TOASTING BREAD
The unique flat plate design make the
Sandwich Press ideal for toasting plain
breads, and turkish bread, without any
fillings or spreads. Try toasting turkish
Bread with jams for a great alternative to
standard breads at breakfast.
REHEATING
If the sandwich 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 degrees C.
The sandwich will keep hot for up to 20
minutes this way, but will then begin to
dry out.
FAT FREE SNACKS
Due to the non-stick cooled flat plate
design, it is not necessary to use any
butter or margarine on the outside of your
toasted snacks.
• Before cleaning, turn the power off at the
power outlet and then remove the plug.
Allow your Sandwich Press to cool
slightly. The unit is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
• Always clean your Sandwich Press after
each use to prevent a build up of bakedon foods.
• Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If
cooked on food is not removed by this
method, reheat the unit for 1-2 minutes,
then brush with a little oil or melted
butter. Allow to stand for five minutes
then wipe with a damp cloth.
The cooking plates
are coated with a
non-stick surface, do
not use abrasives.
Do not use spray-on nonstick coatings as this will
effect the performance of
the non-stick surface on
the cooking plates.
TO STORE YOUR
SANDWICH PRESS:
1. Slide the storage clip towards the front
handle so that the top and bottom cooking
plates are locked together.
2. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area
below the unit (see fig 3).
fig 3
3. Store on a flat level surface.
The storage clip should not
be used to clamp down the
top plate when sandwiches
are in the Sandwich Press.
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE BREVILLE SANDWICH PRESS IN
