Note: When using the unit for the first time the heating elements burn, some smoke and specific odor can appear – it is normal.

Useful recommendations

• For the best results, use medium slices of bread. Cooking time depends on the thickness of slices and sort of bread.
• You can use brown bread as well as white bread.
• Cut bread into slices, which correspond in size to the inner surface of the unit.
• Use vegetable oil or ordinary margarine to oil slices, other fats burn.
• Do not put too much filling otherwise it will leak.
