Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and in accordance with the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use according to scientific evidence available today.

Before first use

1 Remove any stickers or inserts and wipe the body of the sandwich maker with a damp cloth. 2 Open the sandwich maker (Fig. 2). 3 Remove the plates from the appliance. (Fig. 3) Lift them out of the appliance by the handles.

4 Clean both plates with a soft cloth or sponge in hot water with some washing-up liquid or put them in the dishwasher (Fig. 4). 5 Dry the plates. 6 To reassemble the plates, place the bottom edge in the appliance (1), move the top edge towards the appliance and press the plates home (2) (Fig. 5).

Using the appliance

Do not touch the metal parts (including the handles of the plates) as they become very hot when the appliance operates.

Note: The appliance may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal.

Making toasted sandwiches

1 To adjust the length of the cord, wind part of it round the cord storage facility (Fig. 6). 2 Insert the mains plug into the wall socket to let the appliance heat up. (Fig. 7)

The red heating-up light goes on.

3 Prepare the ingredients for the toasted sandwiches while the appliance heats up.

• For a more even, golden browning result, lightly butter the sides of the bread that come into contact with the cooking plates.
• For each sandwich, you need two slices of bread and a suitable filling. Read chapter 'Recipes' for suggestions.
• To ensure that the sandwiches seal optimally, do not spread fillings too close to the edges of the bread slices.
• You can also toast only one sandwich.

4 Open the sandwich maker when the red heating-up light goes out and the green ready-to-cook light goes on.

During the cooking process, the green ready-to-cook light goes out and the red heating-up light goes on from time to time. 5 Put the sandwiches to be prepared on the lower plate (Fig. 8). 6 Close the sandwich maker (Fig. 9).

Use the cool-touch handgrip to lower the upper plate onto the bread. Press both handgrips together until you hear them lock with a click.

Note: During the cooking process, the green ready-to-cook light and the red heating-up light go on and off from time to time. This indicates that the heating elements are temporarily switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. 7 Set the required cooking time (see section 'Timer' in this chapter).

• You can also use the sandwich maker without setting the timer.
• The cooking time depends on the type of bread and the filling. It also depends on how crispy and brown you want your toasted sandwiches to be. 8 Open the sandwich maker after 3-5 minutes to check whether the sandwiches are golden brown. 9 Remove the sandwiches with a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g., a spatula). (Fig. 10)

Do not use metal, sharp, or abrasive kitchen utensils.

10 If you want to make more sandwiches, wait until the red heating-up light goes out and the green ready-to-cook light goes on. Then put new sandwiches in the sandwich maker. 11 Unplug the sandwich maker after use.

2 Keep the button pressed to set the minutes forward quickly. Release the button once the required cooking time has been reached.
