Melissa 143-074 - Manual (Page 15)

• The sandwich toaster gets hot very quickly
and takes a long time to cool down again.
Only touch the sandwich toaster at the handle.
Never place the sandwich toaster next to hot
objects (e.g. cookers or ovens) or in the vicinity
of flammable materials (e.g. curtains).
PREPARING THE SANDWICH TOASTER
• Once the sandwich toaster has been
unpacked, you must ensure that any
packaging inside the appliance itself is also
removed.
• Wipe the sandwich toaster’s hotplates with a
damp cloth before using it for the first time
(see Cleaning). Then oil the hotplates with a
small amount of butter, margarine or cooking
oil.
USE
• Place the sandwich toaster on a hard, flat
surface.
• Place the plug in the socket. The red indicator
light comes on and the heating plates heat up.
• When the green indicator light comes on, the
sandwich toaster has reached the correct
temperature and is ready for use. Now place
1-2 sandwiches on the bottom hotplate.
• Close the upper section so that it rests on top
of the food. Lock the handle by clipping the
lock on the top section to the bottom section
of the handle.
• If the sandwich is very thick, you must not try
to press the hotplates together completely so
they can be closed with the lock. Wait a
moment until the sandwich has got a little
thinner, and now lock the handles together.
• Both hotplates on the sandwich toaster are
heated, which reduces the cooking time.
• During cooking, the green indicator light will
come on and go off several times. This merely
means that the thermostat is coming on and
going off from time to time.
• The sandwich is ready after approximately 3-4
minutes, depending on its thickness and filling.
If you want the bread to be more golden, you
should toast the sandwich a little longer.
• You can switch off the sandwich toaster at any
time by removing the cord from the socket.
• Once the sandwich is ready, you should open
the sandwich toaster carefully.
• Warning! The metal parts will get very hot
during use. Touch the handle only. Be careful
of spitting oil, fat or other liquids.
• Carefully release the sandwich using a heat-
resistant plastic spatula or similar. You must
not use metal utensils or utensils with a sharp
edge on the hotplates, as these have a special
non-stick coating. Instead use plastic,
melamine or wooden utensils.
• Always close and unplug the sandwich toaster
once the food is ready.
• Before cleaning and storing the sandwich
toaster, make sure it has cooled completely.

CLEANING
• Always follow the safety measures.

• Allow the sandwich toaster to cool completely
before cleaning it.

wipe the hotplates. If necessary, use a damp
sponge for cleaning.
