Frequently Asked Questions - SG 40 STEBA

How to use the Steba SG 40 croque monsieur press?

Unwind the cord, plug in the appliance. The red light turns on. Preheat with the lid closed until the orange light turns on.

How to clean the appliance?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool for a few minutes. Clean with a damp cloth and a little dish soap. For stubborn residue, put a little oil, wait 5 minutes then wipe. Never use abrasive cleaner and never immerse the appliance in water.

Why does the orange light turn off and on during cooking?

That's normal. The built-in thermostat regulates the temperature. The orange light indicates the appliance is ready; it may turn off and on again to maintain the ideal temperature.

What type of bread to use?

Use large slices of white bread (sandwich bread) for best results. For sweet snacks, you can also use raisin bread. Standard slices are also suitable.

Should I butter the bread?

Yes, it is recommended to put a little butter or margarine on the outside of the bread slices to achieve good crispiness and even browning. You can use flavored butters (garlic, herbs, etc.).

How long to cook?

Cooking time is about 5 minutes. The toast should be well browned and the sides well sealed. Time may vary depending on the filling and type of bread.

Can I use other foods than sandwich bread?
