Important Notes - Salton SM1543 Instruction Booklet

Helpful Hints
• Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before using.
• Select bread that will fit the Cooking Plates.
• Use approximately 1/3 (85 ml) cup of filling for each sandwich.
• Do not use processed cheese as it melts too quickly.
• When using sweet filling a teaspoon of sugar on the buttered side of the
bread will add flavor and make the outside of the sandwiches crispier.
• Raisin bread or other sweet breads brown quickly so adjust cooking
time accordingly.
• Pastry may be used instead of bread.
• The Cooking Plates have a non-stick coating so a non-stick cooking
spray is not required.
How to Grill
1. See the Care and Cleaning Section for directions on how to install
the plates.
2. With the Grill Plates installed, ensure the unit is on a flat surface.
Close the cover and plug the unit into a 120V AC outlet. The red and
green indicator lights will come on. The red indicator light will remain
on as long as the unit is plugged into the outlet. The green indicator
light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains the correct temperature.
3. When the unit has preheated and the green indicator light goes out
you are ready to cook.
4. Open the grill and place food on the Grill Plate. Close the lid and
press down gently. NOTE: Use boneless meat and poultry for even
browning.
5. The Grill should only be used with the lid closed. DO NOT lock the
Handle Lock during cooking.
6. Grill until food is done to your taste. Check progress about every 2 – 3
minutes as the food is cooking rapidly both from the top and bottom.
7. When finished grilling, unplug the Grill and remove food using heat
resistant plastic or wood utensils.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. All parts of the unit, except the handle, will be very hot during and after
cooking. Do not touch any parts of the unit, except the handle, until
the unit has cooled. ALWAYS use protective, heat-resistant gloves or
mitts when opening and closing the unit to avoid steam or other burns.
2. Do not cut food on the non-stick Grill Plates.
3. DO NOT cook ground beef or other meats that create excessive
amount of runoff juices. This unit does not have a drip tray and in
not designed to facilitate this type of cooking.
