SAFETY INFORMATION

THE SANDWICH TOASTER

2 3

1. Sandwich cages.

2. 28mm wide slots - Fit sandwiches or large buns in
these super wide slots.

3. Adjustable foot - can be rasied or lowered to

compensate for uneven surfaces.

4. Crumb tray - Removable easy clean tray catches
drips of crumbs.

5. Ejector knob - Manualy eject buns from the slots.

6. Mechanical timer - on/off control with countdown
timer.

7. Slot selector switch - select which slots will heat up.

8. Stainless steel cover - easy clean durable cover.

• The sandwich toasters are supplied with Sandwich cages.
Additional cages can be purchased as an accessory.

• Using medium sliced bread, lightly butter one side of each
slice and place lling between un-buttered sides. Use the

sandwich cage recipe book for various ideas. Pre-sliced or grated
cheeses work best.

• Place sandwich into a cage and insert into one of the slots.

• The two slot sandwich toaster uses two timer dials. (The top one

switches on the left hand slot and the bottom one switch the right
hand slot).

• The four slot has a 3 position rotary switch to select 1,2 or 4

slots and a single timer.

• Set timer dial for each loaded slot to between no. 2.5 and no. 3.5
according to the darkness required. After the toaster has

warmed up, reduce time by half a number (Usually after 2 or 3
cycles).

• The timer dial turns off automatically after the selected
time cycle has nished or can be reset manually by turning the

timer knob back to the off position.

• The sandwiches will keep warm inside the toaster until removed

for serving.

USING A SANDWICH TOASTER

CLEANING REPLACING ELEMENTS

• See the included recipe booklet for lots of inspirational ideas.

• Always lightly butter the OUTER sides of the sandwich as this will
make the lling hotter.

• We recommend the use of 1 or 2 day old bread. Slices should

be cleanly cut & not ragged edged.

• Very thinly sliced bread may produce uneven toasting.

• Do not force in thick slices of bread as you may experience
difculty in ejecting them. Never insert broken pieces of bread.

• If heated slots are left empty the adjacent slots will toast

unevenly.

CAUTION: Heating up slots that have not been loaded with bread
may damage the elements and will cause uneven toasting. Do not
use the toaster if the crumb tray or base plate are missing or are

incorrectly tted and never cover the top of the toaster or use as a
hot plate. Always unplug the toaster when not in use.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

reference.

• WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

has no other appliance connected to it.
Failure to do this may cause an overload, trip a circuit breaker or
blow a fuse. Preferably the socket outlet should be protected by
a Residual Current device (RCD).

• Before plugging in, check that the voltage on the rating label is

the same as the mains supply.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of

this product in water or other liquid.
