SAFETY MEASURES

• Incorrect use of the sandwich toaster may cause personal injury and damage to the sandwich toaster.
• Use the sandwich toaster for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).
• The sandwich toaster may only be connected to 230 V.
• The sandwich toaster or the cord must not be placed in water or any other liquid. If you drop the sandwich toaster in water by accident, or it gets wet in any other way, you must immediately remove the plug from the socket and get an authorised repair engineer to examine the sandwich toaster before you use it again.

It is extremely important that you follow these instructions, as water in the sandwich toaster could give rise to fatal electric shocks.

• Never try to open the cabinet yourself and never force objects into it.
• Do not use the sandwich toaster when your hands are wet, when the floor is wet or when the sandwich toaster itself is wet. Never touch the plug with wet or damp hands.
• Check regularly that the cord is not damaged and do not use the sandwich toaster if this is the case, or if the sandwich toaster has been dropped or damaged in any other way. If the sandwich toaster, cord or plug is damaged, the sandwich toaster must be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the sandwich toaster yourself.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table/counter; keep it away from hot objects and naked flames and make sure that it never comes into contact with the hot parts of the sandwich toaster during use. Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug. Make sure that it is not possible to pull or trip over the sandwich toaster cable or any extension cord. Never lift the sandwich toaster by the cord.
• This sandwich toaster is not suitable for commercial or outdoor use.
• Never leave the sandwich toaster unattended when in use and keep an eye on children. The plug should always be removed from the socket after use or when cleaning.
• The sandwich toaster gets hot very quickly and takes a long time to cool down again. Only touch the sandwich toaster at the handle. Never place the sandwich toaster next to hot objects (e.g. cookers or ovens) or in the vicinity of flammable materials (e.g. curtains).
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• Keep the appliance under constant supervision while in use. Keep an eye on children in the vicinity of the appliance when it is being used. The appliance is not a toy.

PREPARING THE SANDWICH TOASTER

• Once the sandwich toaster has been unpacked, you must ensure that any packaging inside the appliance itself is also removed.
• Wipe the sandwich toaster's hotplates with a damp cloth before using it for the first time (see Cleaning). Then oil the hotplates with a small amount of butter, margarine or cooking oil.

USE

• Place the sandwich toaster on a hard, flat surface.
• Place the plug in the socket. The red indicator light (2) lights up, and the hotplates (6, 7) begin to heat up.
• When the green indicator light (1) lights up the sandwich toaster has reached the correct temperature and is ready for use. Now place 1-2 sandwiches on the bottom hotplate (7).
• Close the upper section (5) so that it rests on top of the food. Lock the handle by clipping the lock (4) on the top section to the bottom section of the handle.
• If the sandwich is very thick, you must not try to press the hotplates together completely so they can be closed with the lock. Wait a moment until the sandwich has got a little thinner, and now lock the handles together.
• Both hotplates (6, 7) on the sandwich toaster are heated, which reduces the cooking time.
• During cooking, the green indicator light will come on and go off several times. This merely means that the thermostat is coming on and going off from time to time.
• The sandwich is ready after approximately 3-4 minutes, depending on its thickness and filling. If you want the bread to be more golden, you should toast the sandwich a little longer.
• You can switch off the sandwich toaster at any time by removing the cord from the socket.
• Once the sandwich is ready, you should open the sandwich toaster carefully.

• Warning! The metal parts will get very hot during use. Touch the handle only (2). Be careful of spitting oil, fat or other liquids.

• Carefully release the sandwich using a heat-resistant plastic spatula or similar. You must not use metal utensils or utensils with a sharp edge on the hotplates, as these have a special non-stick coating. Instead use plastic, melamine or wooden utensils.

• Always close and unplug the sandwich toaster once the food is ready.
• Before cleaning and storing the sandwich toaster, make sure it has cooled completely.
