Overview

This document describes the Breville high gloss deep fill sandwich toaster with DuraCeramic™ coated plates, designed to "Turn on your creativity®" for home-cooked snacks.

Function Description:

The Breville sandwich toaster is an appliance designed for making toasted sandwiches. It features deep cooking plates to accommodate generous fillings and a cut-and-seal action to create perfectly sealed toasties. The appliance heats up to cook sandwiches, indicated by a ready-to-cook light. It is intended for household use only and should not be used outdoors or for purposes other than its intended function.

Important Technical Specifications:

The cooking plates are coated with an exclusive DuraCeramic™ coating. This ceramic coating is designed for quicker and more efficient heat transfer, resulting in faster cooking times compared to standard non-stick coatings. It is also scratch-resistant and four times more durable than standard non-stick coatings. The DuraCeramic™ coating is PTFE and PFOA free, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning. The appliance is fitted with either a moulded or rewirable BS1363, 13 amp plug, and the fuse should be rated at 13 amps and be ASTA approved to BS1362. The mains lead wires are coloured GREEN/YELLOW (Earth), BLUE (Neutral), and BROWN (Live) for proper connection.

Usage Features:

The sandwich toaster includes a latch to firmly close the lid during cooking, a handle for opening and closing, a green power light to indicate the appliance is on and heating, and an amber ready-to-cook light that illuminates when the toaster is fully heated and ready for use. It also has top and bottom cooking plate release buttons for easy removal of the plates.

Before first use, it is recommended to unpack the toaster, thoroughly wash the cooking plates to remove manufacturing residues, and clean the exterior with a damp cloth. A slight burning smell and smoke may be noticed during the first use, which is normal.

To use the sandwich toaster:

  1. Plug it into the mains supply socket and switch it on. The green power light will illuminate, indicating heating has begun.
  2. Wait for the amber ready-to-cook light to come on, signifying the toaster is fully heated. This light will cycle on and off during cooking.
  3. Spread butter or a suitable cooking spread on the outside of the bread slices.
  4. Place two lower slices of bread onto the bottom plate with the buttered side down, ensuring the crusts face left and right.
  5. Add the filling, leaving a 2cm gap around the edges to allow for a good seal and prevent leakage. For cheese as a single ingredient, do not exceed 60g; reduce cheese quantity if other ingredients are added.
  6. Place the remaining bread on top, buttered side facing outwards.
  7. Close and latch the lid. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or more/less depending on desired crispness and colour.
  8. Release the latch and open the lid. Use a non-metallic spatula to remove the cooked sandwich, being cautious of escaping steam and hot fillings. Do not use metal blades to avoid damaging the non-stick surface.

Recipe ideas provided include classic combinations like Cheese and Ham, Cheese and Tomato, Cheese and Onion, as well as Lighter Lunch Toastie, Pizza Pockets, Steak Pasties, Omelette, Cake Bites, and Chocolate, Hazelnut and Brie. For best results, medium white sliced bread is recommended, and classic melting cheeses like Cheddar, Gruyère, and Emmental are suggested.

Maintenance Features:

For care and cleaning:

  1. Always unplug and switch off the sandwich toaster, allowing it to cool down completely before cleaning.
  2. Do not immerse the main body, cord set, or plug in water or any liquid.
  3. Never use steel wool, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or metallic utensils, as these can damage the DuraCeramic™ coating.
  4. Wipe the cooking plates with an absorbent paper or soft damp cloth.
  5. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth wrung almost dry in warm soapy water. The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.
  6. To remove the cooking plates, press the release buttons. Immerse the plates in warm, soapy water, rinse with clean water, and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
  7. To prevent oxide formation on uncoated surfaces, reinsert the plates into the toaster and heat for one minute with the lid closed after cleaning.
  8. Hand washing the cooking plates is recommended to preserve the DuraCeramic™ coating.

The appliance is designed with no user-serviceable parts. In case of malfunction, troubleshooting steps include checking instructions, fuse, and mains supply. If issues persist, the appliance should be returned to the place of purchase or the Customer Service Department for replacement, ensuring it is clean, packed in its original carton, and accompanied by purchase proof and reason for return.
