SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or animals, or tripped over.
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian. Do not modify the plug in any way.

may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This
is normal, and common to appliances with a
nonstick surface.

again illuminate. It may take several seconds for
the red light to come on. This is normal.
5. Once the food is ready to eat, the green light
will come on again.
6. Remove food by gently loosening the
edges with a heatproof plastic spatula.
Never use metal utensils, as they may
damage the nonstick coating.
7. Always disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet once cooking is completed.

TIPS AND HINTS FOR
USING YOUR CUISINART®
SANDWICH GRILL:
Preheat Cuisinart® Sandwich Grill completely before
using. For “quick to assemble” sandwiches and pastries, preheat the Sandwich Grill while preparing the
food to be grilled.
Close the lid of the Sandwich Grill while preheating.
When preparing more than one batch of sandwiches,
keep lid closed to maintain even heat.
You may use a variety of breads with excellent results
in the Cuisinart
a “standard” thickness (approximately 1/2 inch) are
best for sandwiches, while thicker sliced breads
(approximately 5/8 to 1 inch) are recommended for
French toast.
For best results, we recommend that the bread be as
close as possible to the size of the sandwich plate
1
(5 x 4
ing to fit as needed. Bread selections may be hand
sliced from whole loaves.
Butter, margarine, and olive oil are recommended for
coating the outside of bread when making sandwiches.
“Light” versions of margarines are not recommended,
as they do not withstand heat (check manufacturer’s
labels for cooking recommendations for best results).
Have butter or margarine at room temperature
when spreading on bread, or melt and apply with a
pastry brush.
For best results, moist ingredients such as sliced
tomatoes or fruits, pickles, etc., should be blotted or
patted dry with a paper towel. Sauces, such as tomato
sauce or salsa, can be drained for a short time in a
strainer lined with a coffee filter to remove excess liquid.
Use well-drained leftover cooked vegetables or thawed,
well-drained frozen vegetables as additions to your
sandwiches and omelettes.
Firm textured breads will yield a crispier sandwich than
breads with a softer texture.
Use a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden utensil to lift
sandwich/pastry/omelette from the Cuisinart
Grill. Avoid using metal utensils, which may mar the
nonstick coating of the Sandwich Grill.
For best results, allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2-3
®
Sandwich Grill . Breads that are
⁄2 inches). Breads may be trimmed prior to cook-
®
Sandwich
minutes before cutting and serving. The fillings will be
very hot, and will run less if allowed to cool slightly.
Unplug the Sandwich Grill and allow unit to cool
completely with lid open before cleaning. When cool,
brush excess crumbs from Sandwich Grill with a soft
pastry brush, then gently wipe clean with a dampened
soft cloth such as one made of microfiber. (Available in
most housewares/gourmet stores).
RECIPES
FRENCH TOAST
Makes 4 slices (two servings).
Bread suggestions: thick sliced breads (about 3/4 inch)
such as challah, English muffin, cinnamon swirl bread,
raisin bread
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup reduced fat milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
4 thick, 3/4 to 1-inch slices of bread
Cooking spray or melted unsalted butter
Place the eggs, milk and optional vanilla extract in a
small bowl. Using a whisk, beat until smooth. Place the
bread slices in a 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Pour the egg
mixture into the pan. Turn the bread slices to coat
completely and let stand until the liquid is completely
absorbed, about 5 minutes. Preheat the Cuisinart®
Sandwich Grill. When the Sandwich Grill is hot (green
indicator light will be on), spray lightly with cooking
spray or brush with a small amount of melted butter.
Place two of the bread slices on the sandwich grids
and use firm pressure to close lid and lock. French
Toast will be ready when red indicator light goes off
and green indicator light comes on. Serve hot with butter or margarine and syrup or preserves, or sprinkle
with
powdered sugar.

SUGGESTED SANDWICHES:
Sandwich fillings can be as limitless as your personal taste and imagination. You may create your own versions of
traditional favorites (childhood or diner comfort foods) or combine favorite ingredients to make your own “classics”.
To assemble sandwiches, lightly coat one side of each slice of bread (or the outside of a roll, pita loaf or English muffin) with butter, margarine or olive oil. Lay 2 slices of bread, coated side down, on work surface. Assemble sandwiches
in layers and top with remaining bread, coated side up. Place on preheated Sandwich Grill. Use firm pressure to close
lid; lock and cook. Green indicator light will go off and red light will come on (this may not happen immediately).
When green indicator light comes on again, sandwich is cooked.
Add 15-30 seconds additional cooking time if a toastier sandwich is preferred. Remove sandwiches using a heatproof
plastic spatula. Let sandwiches rest for 2-3 minutes, then cut and serve.
You may even make a French toast batter (without vanilla) and dip the sandwiches in it before grilling to make
“croque monsieurs.”

MUSHROOM, PEPPER

Remember when making filled omelettes, the filling
displaces the amount of egg needed. Resist the urge
to overfill the omelettes or the egg may run out before
it is cooked.

Use a whisk to beat until just frothy; add salt and
pepper to taste. When green indicator light comes
on, open Sandwich Grill and lightly coat with melted
butter or cooking spray. Divide the vegetables evenly
among the four quarters of the sandwich grid; sprinkle
evenly with the shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture
evenly over the vegetables and cheese. Close the lid
and lock.
The red light will come on (it may stay green for a few
seconds). Cook until the green indicator light comes
on again, about 4 – 4 1⁄2 minutes. Open Sandwich Grill

and 1-2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese.

Use your Sandwich Grill to make this quick and easy

as raisin or cinnamon swirl

4 tablespoons canned fruit pie filling
(apple, cherry, peach, blueberry)
Preheat the Cuisinart® Sandwich Grill. Spread one side

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished cooking in the Sandwich Grill,
remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open
so plates begin to cool.
Never take your Sandwich Grill apart for cleaning.
Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any
excess cooking oil or excess fillings by wiping with a dry
cloth or paper towel.
You may clean the cooking plates by wiping with a
damp cloth as well. This will prevent staining or sticking from buildup of oil or fillings. Be certain plates have
cooled completely before cleaning. If food adheres to
plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto area and let
stand approximately 5 minutes, allowing buildup to
soften for easy removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use
an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE
CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER.
STORAGE
Store with cord wrapped securely around base.
For compact storage, stand Sandwich Grill upright on
back end. The Sandwich Grill has been designed with
a special latch so lid stays closed during storage.
