any water source. Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet.
2. Butter the outside of two pieces of bread.

HELPFUL TIPS
BUILDING YOUR GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
• Use a soft cheese with a low melting point.
• Be sure to preheat the toaster before toasting your sandwich.
• Build your sandwich with thin slices of bread. Thick slices of
ENGLISH
bread may be too large for the Toasting Slots.
• Do not add too many ingredients to your sandwich, making it too thick may leave the center
cold or the cheese unmelted. We recommend using 1-2 slices of cheese per sandwich.
• Always be sure to butter the outside of the each slice of bread before
toasting. This will create a deliciously crisp outside to your sandwich.
• Allow the grilled cheese to sit in the toaster for about 30 seconds after the
toasting cycle has completed to allow the cheese to fully melt.
RECOMMENDED CHEESES
The best cheeses to use when making a grilled cheese sandwich
are soft cheeses with a low melting point.
Recommended cheeses:
• Swiss
• Asiago
• Provolone
• Mozzarella
• Cheddar
• Gruyere
• Pepper Jack
RECOMMENDED BREADS
Due to the size of the Toasting Slots, thick-cut breads do not work well with this
toaster. For best results, stick to the standard-cut or thin slices of bread.
Recommended breads:
• White
• Wheat
• Multigrain
• Sourdough
• English Mun
• Pumpernickel
• Rye
• Italian
BURNING/SMOKING
If your unit is burning or smoking while toasting, press the CANCEL button
to end the toasting cycle, and unplug from the electrical outlet. Remove the
Toasting Basket from the Toasting Slot and allow unit to cool completely.
Smoking may also be caused by excess crumbs and pieces of cheese stuck inside the
machine. To prevent smoking, make sure to clean the Drip Tray after each use.
