from the sandwich maker. Do not use sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils.

cloth or sponge. Avoid water running into the appliance. Never immerse the appliance into water.

C Prepare the ingredients for your toasted sandwich. For each sandwich you need two slices of bread and a
suitable filling. You can refer to suggested recipes. To obtain an even golden brown result, you can 5slightly
butter the side of the bread in contact with the plate. Lay the slices of bread with the buttered side on the
lower cooking plate, place your filing and cover the second slice of bread with buttered sides up. You can
toast only one sandwich if you wish. For optimal result, fillings should be placed well within the sandwich
slices.

E The appliance can be stored in a vertical position.

F Plug in the sandwich maker and heat up the plated until the green Ready To Cook pilot light goes off.
