DESCRIPTION OF PARTS

1. Lid
2. Base
3. Cooking Plates
4. Carrying Handle with Latch
5. Indicator Light

BEFORE FIRST USE

Clean the cooking plates by wiping with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOKING SURFACE. Dry with a cloth or paper towel.

Before cooking for the first time, the non-stick Cooking Plates must be 'seasoned'. Brush a small amount of oil, butter or margarine on the Cooking Plates and wipe off excess with a paper towel. Your Sandwich Maker is now ready to use.

HOW TO USE

1. Plug unit into a 120V AC outlet, the Indicator Light will come on.
2. Close Lid until the unit has preheated and the Indicator Light goes out.
3. Open the Lid and place a slice of bread in the bottom half of the Cooking Plate. (If you are using buttered bread, place buttered side against the Cooking Plates.) Place filling on bread pressing down to fill the Cooking Plate cavity. Cover with a slice of bread.
4. Close Lid carefully and Lock. Cooking time should be approximately 3-5 minutes. Exact cooking time depends on your taste. The Indicator Light will go on and off as the Sandwich Maker maintains the correct cooking temperature.
5. When sandwiches are cooked, remove with a wooden or plastic spatula. Never touch the Cooking Plates with sharp, pointed or metal utensils.

HINTS:

• Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before using.
- Select bread that will fit the Cooking Plates.
• Use approximately 1/3 cup of filling for each sandwich.
- It is not necessary to butter bread, however, the Cooking Plates should be seasoned lightly with oil occasionally.
• Do not use processed cheese.
- When using sweet filling a teaspoon of sugar on the buttered side of the bread will add flavour and make the outside of the sandwiches crispier.
- Raisin bread or other sweet breads brown quickly so adjust cooking time accordingly.
• Pastry may be used instead of bread.

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the Sandwich Maker and allow it to cool until warm. Wipe the Cooking Plates with paper towels or a soft cloth. If some of the filling has adhered to the Cooking Plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the baked-on food and allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Wipe with paper towels.

Wipe the outside of the Sandwich Maker with a soft cloth dampened in warm soapy water. Wipe with a dampened clean cloth and dry.
