BEFORE USING YOUR OSTER® SANDWICH MAKER

Before using your Oster® Sandwich Maker for the first time, clean and grease the
cooking surfaces:

• With the appliance unplugged, clean the cooking surfaces with a cloth or sponge
dampened with hot, soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with a
dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.

• To grease the cooking surfaces plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. The red
“Power On” Indicator Light will illuminate. Allow the Sandwich Maker to pre-heat until
the green “Ready” Indicator Light turns on. Wipe a small amount of butter or margarine
onto the cooking surfaces, rub lightly and wipe away any excess.

Note: When using your Sandwich Maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke
haze being emitted from the unit. This is normal. It is due to the initial heating of
internal components.

USING YOUR OSTER® SANDWICH MAKER

• Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet, the red “Power On” Indicator Light will
illuminate and remain lit while the appliance is plugged in.

• Pre-heat your Sandwich Maker until the green “Ready” Indicator Light turns on.

• Once you have prepared your snack, open the Sandwich Maker and place the
sandwiches on the cooking surface. DO NOT OVERFILL.

• Lower the top cooking surface until the handles meet, then secure with the Locking
Latch. DO NOT FORCE THE LID TO CLOSE.

Note:

• Ensure that the cord is kept well away from the cooking surfaces when in use.

• The green “Ready” Indicator Light may turn on and off during cooking. This indicates
that the thermostat is maintaining the proper cooking temperature to prepare snacks
to perfection.

• When the sandwiches are cooked to taste, remove with a plastic spatula.

• The cooking surfaces are coated with a durable non-stick coating. Some sandwich
fillings such as cheese may melt and cause the sandwich to stick to the cooking sur
faces. To free the sandwich, use a plastic spatula or wooden spoon. Never use a sharp
or metal object, as this will damage the non-stick surface.

AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED USING YOUR SANDWICH MAKER, UNPLUG THE
APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before use.

• Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese, tomato or
jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

• It is not necessary to butter the outside of the bread as the Sandwich Maker has Non-
stick Cooking Surfaces. However, to encourage even browning of bread, spreading a
small amount of butter or margarine is recommended.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug and allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.

• Release removable cooking plates, and clean them with a soft cloth or sponge
dampened with hot, soapy water.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. DO NOT PLACE
THE SANDWICH MAKER IN A DISHWASHER.

• To remove cooked-on food, use a nylon scrubby or non-abrasive cleanser. A steel wool
pad or other abrasive cleansers may damage the non-stick surface.

• To clean the exterior simply wipe with a dampened cloth and polish dry with a dry soft
cloth.

• Store in the closed position. Simply bring the cooking surfaces together and secure
with the Locking Latch.

DO NOT use metal utensils or sharp metal objects such as a knife, as this will damage
the non-stick coating.

Do not cut food on top of the Sandwich Maker’s cooking surface.
