SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.  If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

HOW TO USE

Close the sandwich maker and plug it into the wall outlet; the red power light will go on. It will take about 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. When the Green Ready Light turns on, the sandwich maker is ready to cook!

1. Prepare desired sandwich fillings while the unit is heating up.
2. Open the top of the sandwich maker. Season the plates with butter or margarine if desired.
3. Place slice of bread onto the bottom plate.
4. Fill with desired sandwich condiments. Lay top layer of bread over the top of filling.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always preheat the sandwich maker before use. Plug cord into a power outlet while preparing the fillings.

• Flavored butter or margarine can also be used.
• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the outside of bread slices makes the toasted sandwiches crispier; especially for fruit filled sandwiches.

NOTE

• First use will burn off the manufacture protective coating. This may cause slight smoking from unit. It is not harmful and will stop after first use.
• During toasting and process of making the sandwiches, the GREEN Ready light will periodically turn on and off to maintain the right temperature.
