Initial use

• Remove the appliance completely from its packaging and remove any stickers if found.
• Before you start toasting for the first time, grease the non-stick coated cooking plates lightly with a small amount of oil or fat, and let the appliance heat up for about 10 minutes with the cooking plates closed. This will remove the smell typically encountered when switching on the appliance for the first time. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Clean the appliance afterwards as described in the section Cleaning and Care.

Operation

• Insert the plug into the wall socket. The main indicator light comes on.
• After a short warm-up period of around 8 minutes, the appliance is ready for use. Once the required temperature has been reached, the green ready-light comes on.
• Open the two housing elements.
• Place the two prepared sandwiches on the lower cooking plate and gently close the upper element.
• Press both elements together and lock them securely by means of the locking latch. Caution: Do not try to close the elements by force; if they are difficult to close, reduce the amount of food.
• The cooking time is in general 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the bread and filling.
• Unlatch the locking device, open the appliance and take out the sandwiches. In order to prevent the non-stick plates from being damaged, do not use sharp or pointed objects while removing the

sandwiches.

• If you want to prepare more sandwiches, close the top element and wait until the green ready-light comes on again before repeating the next toasting cycle.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket after use. The main indicator light will go out.

- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning agents.

• With its non-stick cooking plates, the appliance requires little maintenance. The plates may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth or a soft brush.
• The exterior of the housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

Recipes

Practical hints for best results when toasting sandwiches:

• The sandwich should consist of two slices of sandwich bread with a filling in between.
• All common types of sandwich bread can be used.
• White bread should preferably be one day old when it is used for making sandwiches. Cut off the crust, if any.
• The slices used for the filling (cheese, ham etc.) should be cut to match the sandwich shape.
• Before toasting, lightly butter the outside of the bread and place the slices with the buttered side against the cooking plates. The butter helps the browning process and makes it easier to remove the sandwich from the cooking plates.
