Frequently Asked Questions - TS-240W Brentwood

How to use the Brentwood TS-240W sandwich maker?

Plug in the appliance, close the lid for preheating. Wait for the green light to turn on. Place sandwiches on the plates, close the lid and lock the safety clasp. Let cook for 6 to 9 minutes, then remove sandwiches with a wooden or plastic spoon.

Why does the red light stay on?

The red light indicates the appliance is preheating. It goes off and the green light turns on when cooking temperature is reached. If the red light stays on permanently, check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the lid is closed.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick plates?

No, do not use metal utensils as they can scratch and damage the non-stick coating. Use wooden or plastic utensils instead.

How to clean the sandwich maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Clean the non-stick plates with a non-abrasive damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water. Wipe the exterior with a soft damp cloth.

What to do if there is an odor or smoke during first use?

That is normal. It is a chemical reaction from the heating element. Ensure the room is well ventilated and let the appliance heat empty for a few minutes to remove manufacturing residues.

Can I use an extension cord with the TS-240W?

Using an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use one, ensure it has a power rating at least equal to the appliance and that it does not hang over the counter to avoid tripping hazards.

How to store the power cord?

After use and cooling, wrap the cord in the storage space under the appliance. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

Does the appliance turn off automatically?

No, this appliance does not have an automatic shut-off function. To turn it off, unplug it from the wall outlet. Never leave it unattended while in operation.

What types of sandwiches can I make?

You can make classic sandwiches, croque monsieur, paninis, or any other preparation suitable for cooking between two hot plates. Avoid overfilling to prevent overflow.

What to do if the machine does not heat up?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the safety clasp is properly locked. If the problem persists, contact customer service; do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
