Frequently Asked Questions - KG 3002 Home Electric

How do I use the sandwich press for the first time?

Before first use, remove all packaging and wipe the plates with a damp cloth. Season the non-stick plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter, or margarine during preheating. Preheat with the lid closed for 2-4 minutes until the green light turns off. Then place your sandwich on the bottom plate and close the lid.

Why does my sandwich press smoke when I first use it?

It is normal for the unit to emit a fine smoke during first use. This is caused by the heating of the elements and new components. It will disappear after a short time.

OPERATION

An introduction to your Sandwich Press

With very little imagination, you can make a fantastic variety of snacks, meals and entertaining. All type of toasted and melted snacks can be made, quickly and easily. There is no need to restrict yourself to the plain old type toasted Sandwich.

Before using your Sandwich Press for the first time.

Note: When using the Sandwich Press for the first time, the unit will emit a fine smoke. This is caused by the heating of the elements and new components and can be disregarded.

• Remove all packaging from the Sandwich Press before use.
• Check that the cooking plates are free of dust. Wipe the surface of the plates with a damp cloth and dry with cloth, kitchen towel etc.
• Place the Sandwich Press on a flat level surface. Unlock the Storage clip. This will allow the top and bottom to open and close.
• Cooking plates must be in the closed position for pre-heating.
• Before using your Sandwich Press for the first time, the non-stick plates must be seasoned during the preheating time (until the green light comes on) to protect the non-stick surface.
• Note: For the first use ONLY, season the plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the cooking surfaces and rub in with a paper towel. Exercise care, as the cooking plates will be hot.
• Plug the power cord into a 230V power. The red light will illuminate, indicating that there is power to the unit. The green light will also illuminate, indicating pre-heating operation.
• Preheat the plates for 2-4 minutes (or until the green light goes OFF). Season the plates accordingly if using the sandwich press for the first time. Maximum temperature of the plates is obtained after 5 seconds of the GREEN light turning OFF.
• During the preheating time (Both Red and Green light ON). Prepare your sandwich and when ready, open the Sandwich. Press and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking plate. Always place Sandwiches towards the rear of the cooking plate.
• Close the top cooking plate and it will automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich. This will ensure an even toasting.
• Toasting should take approximately 5-8 minutes. However, exact toasting times will depend on types and thickness of breads and different fillings used.
• Open the lid when the sandwich is cooked. Always remove the sandwich by using plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal utensils as this may damage the Non-Stick Coating.
• Close the lid to preserve the heat until ready to toast the next sandwiches.
  • After use, remove the plug from the wall socket.

Hints for Best Results

Bread:

• The Sandwich Press can be used to toast most types of Bread: White, Whole meal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, etc. Focaccia, Turkish Bread, Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls are also ideal to toast in the Sandwich Press. Sweet breads, such as Raisin Bread and Brioche, that contain a high sugar content will tend to brown quicker.
• For soft or liquid sandwich fillings, use medium sliced bread, white or brown. If small amount of filling, use toasting bread.
• The Sandwich Press is ideal for toasting plain breads or Turkish breads with no fillings or toppings. Try toasting Turkish breads with jams for a great alternative to standard bread at breakfast.

Fillings:

- CAUTION! Always take care when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese, tomato and jam, as they retain heat and you can burn your mouth if eaten too quickly.

Fat Free Snacks:

- It is NOT necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of the toasted snack because the sandwich press has a Non-Stick Flat Plate Design.

Care of your product

• After use and before cleaning, remove plug, wait for sandwich press to cool.
- Wipe the inside and edges of the heating plate with absorbent paper towel or a soft cloth.
- Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the heating plate and re-heat for 1-2 minutes. Turn the power off and wipe off after 5 minutes when the filling has softened. Wipe the outside with a slightly moistened cloth ensuring that no moisture, oil or grease enter the appliance.
- Do not clean the inside or outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this will damage and scratch the Non-Stick Plates.
• This unit is not Dishwasher safe.
- Do not use spray-on cleaners, as this will affect the performance of the Non-Stick surface on the cooking plates.

Yield: 4 x sandwiches

Fancy a quick, tasty lunch or snack? Make the most of your sandwich toaster with this mouth-watering recipe.

Ingredients:

300 g cup mushrooms, sliced

100 g baby spinach leaves

12 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped

^3/_4 cup grated, reduced-fat cheddar cheese

200 g Turkish bread, sliced into four servings

Heat a frying pan and spray it with cooking spray. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for three minutes or until soft. Drain on paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the Sandwich press until “Ready” Light turns OFF. Arrange spinach leave, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and cheese evenly on the Turkish bread. Season with salt and pepper.

Lamb and pesto focaccia ingredients

400g lamb fillets

20cm-square piece focaccia

14 cup (65g) basil pesto

12 cup (50g) shaved parmesan cheese

14 cup (35g) drained sliced sun-dried tomatoes

Then, lay the four slices of bread on the bottom plate and close completely, Toast for no longer than one minute, (you just want it to go slightly brown). Remove the Toast and lay the Bacon strips flat, covering the bottom piece of toast. Then slice the Banana lengthways, +/- 6 slices, and lay on top of the bacon. Cover with the slice of Cheese and place the toasted top on and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes.
