No. The indicator lights only indicate power and that the snack maker has reached the correct temperature. Do not leave the snack maker unattended during use.

How long does it take to make a toasted sandwich?

Before First Use:

Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information for future reference.

1. Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the appliance on a flat, level surface. Open the snack maker lid.
3. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth so that they are clean.

Note: Use a small amount of cooking oil to season the cooking plates, and wipe off any excess with a dry cloth. This only needs to be done once.

1. Wipe the outside of the housing with a soft damp cloth. NEVER immerse the power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
2. Close the appliance.
3. Plug into the wall outlet and pre-heat. The appliance is ready for use once the green indicator goes out. This will take approximately 5 minutes.

Note: During this initial phase some smoke may be emitted from the snack maker. This is normal.

Preparing sandwiches:

1. Butter the bread on the outer surfaces and place desired fillings within.
2. Lift safety catch and open the snack maker. Place sandwiches on the heating plates.
3. Close the casing to ensure that the sandwich is placed evenly.
4. Lock the safety catch.
5. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes for each sandwich. The red light will turn on and off, as the thermostat keeps the snack maker at the proper baking temperature.

CAUTION! The appliance is not to be operated in the open position.

CAUTION! The cooking surface is hot; handle with care.

Serving your sandwiches:

1. Remove the sandwiches from the heating plates with a plastic or wooden spatula.
2. Be careful with your sandwiches, the fillings will be quite hot.
3. Allow to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Heating a Panini:

1. Place the panini plates onto the snack maker and turn on the unit. Once the green light goes out the appliance is ready to cook.
2. Prepare your Panini with your chosen ingredients and turn on the unit. Close the lid while the plates heat.
3. Once the green indicator goes out, open the snack maker and place the Panini into the centre.
4. Press the top down with a little pressure upon the Panini and then allow it to cook for 3-6 minutes according to your preference.

Making Waffles:

1. Place the waffle plates onto the snack maker and turn on the unit. Once the green indicator light goes out the appliance is ready to cook.
2. Once you have prepared your favourite waffle mix and it is at the correct consistency, pour slowly and evenly, making sure liquid doesn't overflow, into the waffle plates.
3. Waffle cooking times will vary according to the consistency of your mix, we recommend no less than 2 minutes, and that cooking until golden brown offers an ideal result.
4. Once cooked to your satisfaction, carefully remove with tongs and add your favourite toppings.

Tips:

• Always preheat your snack maker fully.
- Ensure the lid of the snack maker is down whilst preheating.
- Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be used to coat the outside of your bread.
• Light/Low fat versions of margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand heat.
- Fillings: Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into toasted sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.
- Processed cheeses tend to 'run' under higher temperatures.
- Pat moist ingredients (such as sliced tomatoes and fruits) dry before adding to your sandwich.
- Allow hot sandwiches to rest for 2-3 minutes after removing them from the snack maker. This helps the fillings cool slightly and means they will run less.

Inserting and Removing the Cooking Plates:

1. Insert the cooking plate into the underside of the lid. Place the 2 wide pins into the hinge slots. Push the locking pin at the top right of the plate in to the aligned hole in the lid, pressing to ensure that the plate clicks into place.
2. Insert the cooking plate into the bottom of the unit. Place the 2 wide pins into the hinge slots. Push the locking pin at the bottom left of the plate in to the aligned hole in the base, pressing to ensure that the plate clicks into place.
3. To remove the plates, open the lid and press the corresponding plate release buttons on the sides of the unit to release the plates.

Note: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before removing cooking plates.
