Using the appliance

Making toasted sandwiches

For a more even, golden browning result you can lightly butter the sides of the bread that come into contact with the cooking plates.

I Insert the mains plug into the wall socket (fig. 5).

The red heating-up light goes on.

• You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the cord storage facility (fig. 6).
  2 Prepare the ingredients for the toasted sandwiches while the appliance is heating up.
  For each sandwich you need two slices of bread and a suitable filling. Read the chapter 'Recipes' for suggestions.
  The sandwich maker is ready for use as soon as the green ready-to-cook light goes on.
  3 Open the sandwich maker.

Avoid touching the metal parts (including the handles of the plates) as they become very hot!

4 Put the sandwiches to be prepared on the lower plate (fig. 7).

▶ You can also toast only one sandwich, if you wish.
To ensure optimal sealing, fillings should not be spread too close to the edges of the bread slices.
5 Close the sandwich maker (fig. 8).

Lower the upper plate onto the bread by means of the cool-touch handgrip and press both handgrips together until you hear them lock with a click.

During the cooking process, the green ready-to-cook light goes out and the red heating-up light goes on and off from time to time to indicate that the heating elements are temporarily switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.

6 Set the required cooking time (see section 'Timer' in this chapter).

You can also use the sandwich maker without setting the timer.

7 Open the sandwich maker after 3-5 minutes to check whether the sandwiches are golden brown.

The cooking time depends on the type of bread and the filling and on how crispy and brown you want your toasted sandwiches to be.

8 Remove the sandwiches (fig. 9).

Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the toasted sandwich from the sandwich maker.

Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.

If you wish to continue making sandwiches, wait until the red heating-up light goes out and the green ready-to-cook light goes on before putting new sandwiches in the sandwich maker.

9 Unplug the sandwich maker after use.
