Getting started
• Place the appliance on a stable, heat resistant
surface: do not use it on a soft surface such
as a table pad.
Do not place the appliance on or near
slippery or hot surfaces. Do not let the cord
hang down over a source of heat (hot plates,
gas cookers, etc.).
Before using the appliance for the first time:
• Open the appliance.
• Remove any packaging, stickers and accessories
from both inside and outside the appliance.
• Lightly coat the plates with vegetable oil. Wipe
with a soft cloth.
Using the appliance
• Close the appliance.
Check that your electrical installation is
compatible with the power and voltage
shown underneath the appliance.
Plug the appliance into an earthed socket only.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
• Plug into outlet. The red indicator (d) will
illuminate (3).
• Allow the appliance to pre-heat: the green
light (e) comes on when the correct cooking
temperature is reached (4).
When the appliance is used for the first
time, it may give off a slight odour and
smoke, this is normal.
• Open the appliance and place the food on
the lower plate.
• Close the appliance. The locking clip easily
adjusts to accomodate different food
thicknesses (5).
• Leave the food to cook for the desired time.
• During use it is normal for the light to go on
and off.
Practical hints
• The cooking time varies according to moisture
of bread or the type of filling involved.
• It is recommended to adapt cooking according
to your own taste.
• When cooking is complete, remove the
sandwich using a wooden spatula.
• Avoid the use of metalic or sharp utensils,
as they will damage the non-stick coating of
the toasting plates.

cleaning, and leave to cool completely.
• Do not place the appliance in water or under
running water.

powders, or abrasives when cleaning the
