INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the Sandwich Press on a flat, level surface, with the lid closed. Press the ‘Unlock’ storage clip,
this will unlock the cooking plates.
2. Insert the plug into a power outlet, and turn the power on. The red ‘Warm up’ indicator light will
illuminate.
3. Allow the Sandwich Press to preheat (keep the lid closed) until the green ‘Ready’ indicator light
illuminates (it will take about 4 minutes).
NOTE: For the first use only, season the cooking plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter, or
margarine and rub it with a paper towel. Be careful, as the plates will be hot.
4. Open the appliance and place your sandwich on the lower plate. Always place the sandwich toward
the rear end of the plate. Close the upper plate. Do not force the lid down, the floating design should
evenly press down on the sandwiches.
5. Depending on the thickness of your sandwich, toasting should only take a few minutes (3 – 8
minutes), depending on personal taste and the type of bread and fillings used.
WARNING: When the lid is closed, steam will escape from inside the Sandwich Press. Be careful
not to come in contact with the steam, as it can cause burns.
NOTE: the green ‘Ready’ indicator light will cycle on and off during toasting. This indicates that the
correct temperature is being maintained.
6. When your toasted sandwich is cooked, remove it with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula.
Never use metal utensils to remove the sandwich, as it can damage the non-stick coating.
7. After using, pull out the plug and open the upper lid let it get cool. If you are making another toasted
sandwich, keep the lid closed until you are ready, this maintains the temperature.
HANDY HINTS
• This Sandwich Press is designed for regular sized bread. Most types of breads can be used, but
when using sweet breads, keep in mind that they will brown faster due to the high sugar content.
• Do not overfill your toasted sandwich, and allow the sandwich to cool slightly before eating, as most
fillings retain heat and can cause burns if eaten too quickly.
• Even though the cooking plates are non-stick, we recommend using butter of margarine on the
outside of the bread, this helps prevent sticking and toasts the sandwiches nicely.
CLEANING AND STORING
1. Before commencing any cleaning, turn the power off at the outlet and remove the power plug.
2. Allow the Sandwich Press to completely cool down first before moving and cleaning.
NOTE: The Sandwich Press is easier to clean when it’s still a little warm.
3. Always clean your Sandwich Press after each and every use. This prevents the buildup of foods
that have been baked on.
4. Wipe the cooking plates with a soft damp cloth or sponge. As the cooking plates are non-stick,
avoid the use of any abrasive cleaners as it will damage the plates. If this fails to remove all
residues, soften them with a little oil.
5. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth, do not use any abrasive cleaners.
6. Once the Sandwich Press has cooled completely, store it either flat or upright. Keeping it in its
original box is recommended.
WARNING: Do not immerse any part of the Sandwich Press in water or any other liquid.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
