Before First Use - Breville VST071X Instructions For Use Manual

Using the floating step hinge
You can adjust the floating step hinge of your sandwich press
to move the top cooking plate. This lets you place food on the
bottom cooking plate (open sandwiches, bacon, eggs, etc.) and
the top cooking plate will not come into contact with the food during
cooking. You can move the top cooking plate to 3 different positions,
depending on the thickness of the food that you are cooking, and
how close to the food you want the cooking plate to be.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove any promotional labels or stickers from your sandwich
press before use.
2. Place your sandwich press on a flat, level surface. Move the
floating step hinge to unlocked
open it.
3. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If
necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.
USING YOUR SANDWICH PRESS
Take care around hot surfaces. The hot plates get VERY
HOT. DO NOT touch any parts until completely cooled.
Steam will escape from all around the sandwich press during
cooking and when opening the lid.
Note: During first use there may be a small amount of smoke and a
slight burning odour. This is completely normal and will clear within
a few minutes.
1. Always fully unwind the power cord from the cord storage area
of the appliance before use. Insert the plug into a mains supply
socket and switch the socket on.
2. Check that the cord is not overhanging the work surface. The
power light and the ready light will both illuminate.
3. Select the required heat setting (low, medium or high) using the
variable temperature control.
4. Allow the sandwich press to preheat in the closed position until
the ready light goes out. The ready light will turn on and off
during use.
5. Place the prepared sandwich onto the bottom cooking plate.
Always place sandwiches towards the rear of the bottom
cooking plate.
6. Close the top cooking plate which has a floating plate that is
designed to evenly press down on the sandwich. The lid must
be closed for cooking.
If you are cooking thicker sandwiches, or open sandwiches,
move the floating hinge step to setting 1, 2 or 3 to position the
top cooking plate higher.
7. Toasting should take approximately 5–8 minutes. The exact
toasting time will depend on the type of bread and the type of
filling used.
8. When the sandwich is cooked, open the lid. Remove it using a
plastic or wooden spatula.

CLEANING
Always unplug your appliance before cleaning it.
Never immerse any part of the appliance or power cord and
plug in water or any other liquid.
1. Switch off and unplug the sandwich press from the mains
supply.
2. Allow your sandwich press to cool slightly. The unit is easier to
clean when slightly warm.
3. Always clean your sandwich press after each use to prevent a
build up of baked on foods.
4. Wipe the cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked-on food is
not removed by this method, reheat the unit for 1–2 minutes,
then brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five
minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.
5. To clean the outside of the sandwich press wipe over with a
damp cloth. Polish with a soft dry cloth.
To avoid damaging the DuraCeramic
plates, do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning materials.
Do not use spray-on non-stick coatings because they will affect the
performance of the DuraCeramic
STORAGE
1. Allow the sandwich press to cool fully before storing and ensure
that the unit is clean.
2. Wrap the cord in the cord storage area below the unit.
3. Lock the plates together by first lowering the top plate and then
moving the floating step hinge to locked
plates together.
4. Store the unit upright. Alternatively, on a flat, level surface, away
from the edge and where it cannot be easily knocked over.
