Using the appliance

Making toasted sandwiches

1 Lightly grease the cooking plates with a little butter or oil. 2 To adjust the length of the cord, wind part of it round the cord storage facility. 3 Put the mains plug in the wall socket and set the on/off switch to 'l' (Fig. 4).

The red power-on light goes on. This light stays on as long as the appliance is connected to the mains (Fig. 5). The green heating-up light goes on. The green heating-up light goes out when the appliance is ready for use. Prepare the ingredients for the toasted sandwiches while the appliance is heating up.

Note: For each sandwich, you need two slices of bread and a suitable filling. See chapter 'Recipes' for suggestions.

Note: Lightly butter the sides of the bread that come into contact with the cooking plates to obtain an even, golden brown result.

Note: To ensure optimal sealing, do not spread fillings too close to the edges of the slices of bread.

5 Open the sandwich maker. (Fig. 2) Put the sandwiches to be prepared on the lower cooking plate (Fig. 6).

Note: You can also toast only one sandwich, if you wish. 7 To close the sandwich maker, lower the upper cooking plate carefully onto the bread (1) until the locking tab locks the plates automatically (2) (Fig. 7).

Note: During cooking, the green heating-up light goes on and off. This indicates that the heating elements are switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. 8 Open the sandwich maker after 3-4 minutes to check whether the sandwiches are golden brown.

Note: The cooking time required to obtain crispy brown sandwiches depends on the type of bread, the filling and your personal taste.

9 Remove the sandwiches (Fig. 8).

Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the toasted sandwiches from the sandwich maker. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.

10 If you wish to continue making sandwiches, wait until the green heating-up light goes out before you put new sandwiches in the sandwich maker. After use, set the on/off switch to 'O' and unplug the appliance (Fig. 9).
