Please note: Should the symbol be indicated on a certain surface, you need to be careful when handling the product. This symbol means: CAUTION, this surface may get very hot during use. The symbol is always put on the surface with the highest temperature, however the other metallic or non-metallic surfaces can also become very hot during use and it is therefore advisable to always handle them with care and if possible with the help of isothermal gloves or13

other thermal protection. In case of doubt concerning the temperature of a certain surface it is always preferable to protect oneself. (*) Competent qualified electrician: after-sales department of the producer or importer or any person who is qualified, approved and competent to perform this kind of repairs in order to avoid all danger. In case of need you should return the appliance to this electrician (www.ggv-service.de). USE Protective coating burn off will cause smoking on first use. This is NOT harmful and will disappear after a short time. When using for the first time, wipe the surface of the plates with a damp cloth, then dry. You may season the plates with butter, margarine or cooking fat. Since the sandwich maker has a non-stick surface, the use of butter or oil is optional. Close the sandwich maker and plug into the electrical outlet. The red pilot light will come on to indicate that the appliance is switched on. Prepare your sandwich while the unit is heating. The green pilot light will come on as well when the cooking temperature is reached. During use, this ready light will come on and off regularly. This simply means that the thermostat is regulating the appliance's temperature. Attention: during operation, the baking plates heat up. Pay attention not to get burned. Fully open the sandwich maker. Place a slice of bread in the bottom half with the buttered side against the plate. Fill the sandwich. Add the top slice with the buttered side up and carefully close the toaster. Do not force shut. Steam will be ejected from between the plates; make sure that fingers do not come into contact with the steam. Lock the two halves with the wire clip while toasting. Your sandwich will be toasted in 3 to 4 minutes or longer to suit your taste. Open the toaster and remove the sandwich using a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a metal knife as this may damage the non-stick coating. Close the lid to preserve the heat until you are ready to toast the next sandwiches. Prepare additional sandwiches if desired while the others are cooking. Unplug the appliance when finished and leave it open to allow it to cool down.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

Always preheat before use. Plug cord into power outlet while preparing the fillings. Flavoured butter may also be used. For additional flavour use bacon dripping. Brush drippings on the outside of the bread.14

CLEANING Before cleaning, unplug and wait for the appliance to cool down. Wipe the outside with only a slightly moistened cloth ensuring that no moisture, oil or grease enters the cooling slots. Wipe the inside and the edges of the plate with a paper towel or a soft cloth. Do not clean the inside or outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this will damage the finish. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
