PARTS & ASSEMBLY

Nostalgia MyMini Personal Sandwich Maker 1

HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive
cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping.
Find a dry, level surface near an electrical outlet.
Preheat the appliance by closing the lid and plugging it into an electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
Prepare your ingredients while the appliance is preheating. For one sandwich you will need two slices of toasting bread or dough and your filling. Place the filling exactly between the slices of bread. Too much of the filling may make it hard to close the Sandwich Maker. In this case, it may be necessary to remove some of the filling. Do not use force to close the Sandwich Maker, this may lead to damage.
When the indicator light shuts off the unit is ready to cook.
Raise the lid using the handle. Use an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.
Spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat them with a small amount of vegetable oil.
NOTE: The oil helps protect the non-stick quality of the cooking surfaces.
Open the Sandwich Maker and place the food on the bottom plate. Using the handle, close and press the top cooking plate to the bottom plate. Secure handles with the lock.
NOTE: Cooking time will vary based on the recipe and ingredients used.
CAUTION:
Steam may be released from the appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam as it is very hot and can cause burns.
Once the food is cooked to your preference, raise the lid using the handle. Remove food using a heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden cooking utensil.
NOTE: Do not use metal utensils, as they may scratch and damage the cooking surfaces.
If cooking more than one food item in a session, be sure to lower the lid in between batches to maintain the proper cooking temperature.
As soon as you are finished cooking, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

Smoking

During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most new appliances. The smoking and odor are caused by the residues burning off the non-stick cooking plates. Allow the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exist.

Non-stick Cooking Plates

For each use, it is recommended that you coat the cooking plates with a non-stick cooking spray or with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help preserve the longevity of your appliance.
Only use heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils when operating this unit. Metal utensils can scratch or damage non-stick cooking plates.

Filling leaks

Too much filling may result in your filling to leak out while cooking. Try not to overfill your sandwich.
