Using the Handbag Sandwich Maker
STEP 1: Prepare the sandwich that is to be toasted, taking care not to overfill the bread, as this could cause the ingredients to overflow.STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the sandwich maker at the mains power supply.

The green ready indicator light will tum off once the required temperature has been reached.STEP 4: Carefully apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the non-stick coated cooking plates, rubbing it in carefully with a paper towel. This will help to prolong the life of the non-stick coating and stop the sandwich from sticking.STEP 5: Place the prepared sandwich onto the lower non-stick: coated cooking plate and then close the lid.STEP 6: Toast the sandwich for approx. 2-4 minutes until the green ready indicator light switches off; check: periodically by carefully opening the lid.

Note: Always preheat the non-stick coated cooking plates before starting to cook. During use, the green ready indicator will cycle on and off to indicate that the sandwich maker is maintaining the temperature.
