HOW TO USE
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into a standard electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Before using, operate the appliance without bread in order to burn off residues on the
heating elements.
HOW TO USE
1. Wipe heating plates with a damp cloth.
2. When using for the first time, brush heating plates with oil, butter or margarine.
3. Close lid and plug appliance into a standard electrical outlet. Both the red power light and
amber temperature light will come on, indicating the unit has begun heating.
4. Allow to preheat for approximately 5 minutes. The amber temperature light will go off when
unit has reached heating temperature.
5. Open sandwich maker; place a slice of bread on the bottom plate, buttered side down.
(For golden-toasted sandwiches, butter the outside of the bread.)
6. Add filling.
7. Add a second slice of bread, buttered side up. Carefully close the sandwich maker. Do not
force shut. Use caution to prevent hands from coming in contact with steam being released
from heating plates.
8. Secure with the latch.
9. Toasting time should take approximately 3-5 minutes. Exact time will be a matter of taste and
will depend on type of bread and filling used. The amber temperature light turns on and off
as the unit cycles to maintain ideal heating temperature; this prevents overheating. Avoid
opening the sandwich maker before toasting is complete, as this may cause the sandwich
to toast poorly.
10. When toasted to taste, remove the sandwich using a plastic or wooden spatula. Do not use
metal tongs or knives, as these may damage the non-stick coating.
11. Keep the lids closed to preserve the heat until ready for the next sandwich.
12. After use, immediately unplug from the electrical outlet.
13. If sandwiches are not to be consumed immediately, place them on a paper napkin to absorb
condensation. To keep hot, place on a rack in an ovenproof dish and warm in the oven at
about 200° - 250°F. Sandwiches will keep for about 20 minutes and then begin to dry out.
TOASTED SANDWICHES: Butter outside of bread slice and place it, buttered side down, onto the
preheated sandwich maker. Add filling, top with another slice of bread (buttered side up). Lower
lid, clamp and toast.
CURRIED CHICKEN: Combine 1/4 cup finely chopped, cooked chicken, 1/4 tsp. Curry powder,
1 Tbsp. mayonnaise and 1/4 Tbsp. chopped parsley.
FRUIT SURPRISE: Combine 1/4 cup leftover canned fruit, 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cinnamon or mixed spice,
1-2 tsp. sugar, 1 Tbsp. sour cream.
VEGETABLE MEDLEY: Combine 1/4 cup leftover cooked vegetables, 2 Tbsp. Grated American
cheese, salt and freshly ground pepper, 1/4 tsp. curry powder.
ROAST BEEF: Spread inside of bread with cream cheese. Place one to three pieces of roast beef
on bottom slice, as desired. Spread roast beef with mustard or horseradish sauce. Add top slice
of bread and toast.
TURKEY SANDWICH: Combine 2 asparagus spears, 2 slices tomato, 2 slices smoked turkey.
CRABMEAT SANDWICH: 1/3 cup crabmeat, 2 tsp. low-fat yogurt, 2 slices tomato, chili powder
to taste.
APPLE RAISIN TOAST: Place 1/3 cup stewed apples or canned pie apples on 4 slices of raisin
bread. Sprinkle with mixture of 2 tsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

PIZZA FILLINGS: Butter one side of a slice of bread. Spread the unbuttered side with 1 tsp. tomato
paste or packaged pizza sauce. If desired, sprinkle with a little oregano, basil, marjoram or thyme.

CARE AND CLEANING
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to
repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.
NEVER IMMERSE APPLIANCE IN WATER. UNPLUG AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE
CLEANING.
TO CLEAN: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as this will damage the
finish.
Inside cleaning: Wipe heating plates with absorbent paper toweling or a soft cloth. To remove
filling that may adhere to the non-stick plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on
food; allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. This should make it easy to remove with absorbent paper
toweling or a soft cloth. If not, wipe the heating plates with a slightly dampened cloth and a little
non-abrasive detergent.
Outside cleaning: Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth. The sandwich maker can be placed in a vertical
position (handles pointed up) for neat and compact storage.
TO STORE: Unplug unit and let it cool. Store in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while
it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on
cord where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
