Frequently Asked Questions - SW7801 UFESA

How to use the Ufesa SW7801 croque-monsieur press?

Preheat the appliance until the indicator light turns off. Place the sandwiches on the lower plate, close the lid and lock the handle. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown.

Are the plates removable for cleaning?

Yes, the non-stick plates are removable. Wait for the appliance to cool down, then remove them and wash them in warm soapy water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.

Can I cook other foods besides croque-monsieur?

Yes, the appliance can be used to grill paninis, tortillas, or vegetables. Make sure not to overload the plates and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

What should I do if the appliance does not heat?

Check the power outlet and the condition of the cable. If the indicator light does not come on, contact after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How to store the appliance after use?

Unplug it, let it cool completely, clean the plates, and store it vertically with the storage base to save space.

Is there a risk of burns?

Yes, the plates become very hot. Use the insulated handle and do not touch the metal surfaces during operation. Keep the appliance out of reach of children.

Should I grease the plates before use?

The indicator light turns off when the cooking temperature is reached. Generally, 3 to 5 minutes is enough for a golden croque-monsieur. Open and check if needed.

Can I use parchment paper?

Characteristics of the appliance

With the sandwich maker you will be able to toast sandwiches with filling quickly. The sandwich maker allows you to cook one or two slices of bread for toasting at the same time. The cooking plates are divided into two square zones and covered with a specially designed layer to prevent the sandwiches from sticking to the cooking plate. The sandwich maker has two indicators:

-red: the red light indicates that the appliance has been connected to the mains supply,

-green: you can use the appliance for toasting now.

Features of your sandwich maker

6 Green indicator

Before using for the first time

• Remove your sandwich maker from the packaging.
• Make sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate of the appliance corresponds to that in the mains supply.
• Clean the inside of the sandwich maker with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel.
• Brush the cooking zones with a small amount of oil or butter.
• Pre-heat the sandwich maker for about 5 minutes with the lid open to remove any remnants originating from the manufacturing process.

When using the sandwich maker for the first time, with the cooking zones getting hotter you may notice a fine smoke haze.

It is not dangerous nor is it a sign that your appliance is defective. The appliance should cease to emit the haze after several cooking cycles.

• Remove the plug from the mains socket, and allow the sandwich maker to cool down fully.
• When the appliance has cooled down, wipe the remnants of oil away from the cooking plates with paper towel.

How to use and how your sandwich maker works

1 Place your sandwich maker on a dry, even surface near the mains socket.
2 Close and latch the toaster.
3 Plug the appliance into the mains socket. The red light will come On.
4 Wait for about 3-4 minutes for the green indicator to illuminate. The green light shows that the cooking plates have reached the correct cooking temperature.

The green indicator will cycle On and Off. This is a sign showing that the correct cooking temperature is maintained.

To get golden brown sandwiches, spread the outside of bread with butter.

5 Unlatch and open the toaster.
6 Place sandwiches on the lower cooking plate.
7 Close the lid carefully. If necessary, use a wooden spatula to hold the sandwiches in place. If you cannot close the lid properly, it means that the sandwiches are overfilled, and you need to remove some of the filling.

Do not force the lid down. This can damage your sandwich maker.

Toasting time depends on your taste and the type of bread. Sandwiches are

usually toasted for ca. 3-8 minutes. You can unlatch and open the lid to decide if you still want to toast your sandwiches.

Be careful. The appliance may generate hot steam when operating. The hot steam may also escape when you open the lid. Risk of burns!

8 Unlatch and open the lid.

- Remove the toasted sandwiches.

Use a wooden spatula to remove sandwiches and remnants from the sandwich maker. Sharp and/or metallic objects may damage the cooking plates.

The cooking plates are hot. Be very careful to avoid burns.

9 When you have finished the toasting, switch the appliance off, and allow it to cool down fully. Remove the plug from the mains socket to switch the appliance off.

Shortly after the toasting, the filling may still be hot. When eating, take special care to avoid the risk of burns.

Cleaning and maintenance of sandwich maker

• Your sandwich maker does not require any specific maintenance.
• Keep and store the sandwich maker clean, as it has contact with food.
• Unplug the appliance from the mains socket before cleaning, and allow it to cool down fully.
• Wipe your sandwich maker with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and then dry it with a soft, clean cloth.
• Do not use cleaners that may scratch or damage external surfaces and a protective layer of the heating plates.
• Remove crumbs and remnants from the plates after each use, and then wipe the plates with paper towel. The paper towel will absorb the grease accumulated during the cooking.
