West Bend Sandwich Maker Kitchen Grill User Manual


 
HINTS:
Bread – Most types of bread can be used. Raisin bread, brioche or other sweet
breads which contain high sugar content will tend to brown quicker. Due to the non-
stick coated cooking plates, it is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the
outside of your toasted snacks.
Fillings – If using fruit, try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give
off juices when heated. Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings
such as cheese and jams they retain more heat which can burn if eaten too quickly.
Keeping Warm – If your sandwiches are not being eaten immediately, place on a
paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep longer (approximately 20 minutes
without drying out), place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm at a low
temperature setting (approximately 212°F or 100°C).
Cleaning Your Sandwich/Panini Press
NOTE: To prevent a build up of cooking stains on the non-stick cooking plates, it is
important to clean the press after each use.
1.
Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Allow the press to cool after use, before
cleaning and storage.
2. Wipe the inside and edge of the cooking plates with a cloth slightly moistened
(not wet) with sudsy water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly.
Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the plates,
allow to stand 5 minutes and wipe off.
3. Clean the exterior of the press by wiping with a slightenly dampened soft cloth.
Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened (not wet) with sudsy water or a
mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly. NOTE: Do not use scouring pads,
harsh detergents, solvents, polish, abrasive or aerosol cleaners as they may
damage surfaces of the appliance.
Tips:
Avoid using metal utensils as they may permanently damage the non-stick cooking
surfaces.
Do not use spray-on coatings such as ‘Pam” or other aerosol types as this will affect
the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.
Storage: Slide the storage clip (on the left hand side of the handle), away from the
front of the handle to lock the top and bottom plates together. The press can now be
stored on its side, or flat on a level surface.
