Initial use
• Before you start toasting for the first time, grease the non-stick coated cooking plates (4) lightly with a small
amount of oil or fat, and let the appliance heat up for about 10 minutes with the cooking plates closed. This will
remove the smell typically encountered when first switching on a sandwich toaster. Please ensure sufficient
ventilation.
• Clean the sandwich toaster afterwards as described in “Cleaning and Care”.
How to use your sandwich toaster
• Insert the plug into the wall socket.
• After a short warm-up period the sandwich toaster is ready for use. The red pilot light remains on as long as the
unit is switched on. The green light comes on once the temperature has been reached.
• When the appliance begins to cool down, the green light goes out and only comes on again once the temperature
has been reached once more. This cycle may be repeated several times.
• Open the sandwich toaster.
• Place the two prepared sandwiches on the lower cooking plate and gently close the upper cooking plate.
• Press both cooking plates together and lock the handles by means of the latch.
• The cooking time is in general three to four minutes, depending on the bread and filling.
• Unlatch the locking device, open the toaster and take out the sandwiches. In order to prevent the non-stick cooking
plates from being damaged do not use sharp or pointed objects while removing the sandwiches.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket after use.
Cleaning and care
• Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down with the
cooking plates open.
• For reasons of electrical safety, never use water or any other kind of liquid on the sandwich toaster, nor immerse it.
• The sandwich toaster with non-stick coated plates requires little maintenance. Clean the outside with a soft damp
cloth only.
• The non-stick-coated plates can also be cleaned with a soft damp cloth or a soft brush.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
