Russell Hobbs RHSP801 Series

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is a good idea to apply a light coating of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the
non-stick cooking plates before each use.
• Connect the Sandwich Press to the wall power outlet and switch it on. The red power and
green temperature lights will illuminate.
• When the Sandwich Press has reached operating temperature, the green light will extinguish
(the green light will cycle on and o as the thermostat maintains thetemperature).
• Raise the top cooking plate using the handle and place the sandwich on the bottom cooking
plate.
• Lower the top cooking plate. The top cooking plate has a oating hinge and will
automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich as it closes.
• A sandwich may take 6-8 minutes to cook, depending on the preferred level of browning
required and the type of bread used.
• Carefully monitor the cooking process as the cooking times required for dierent bread types
can vary signicantly.
• When the sandwich is cooked as desired, lift the top cooking plate using the handle. Re-
move the sandwich using a plastic, silicone or wooden utensil.
CAUTION: Never use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.
• When nished, switch o the wall power outlet and remove the plug.
• Allow the unit to cool and wipe the plates clean.
• Close the top lid and press the handle lock to lock the top into the closed position
for storage.
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
Types of bread:
• The Sandwich Press can be used to toast any shape, thickness and most types of bread;
White, Wholemeal, Multigrain, Rye, Raisin Loaf, Focaccias, Turkish Bread, Sourdough,
Baguettes as well as Bread Rolls.
• Each bread type will require a dierent amount of time cooking, so be sure to monitor your
sandwich whilst cooking.
• Dense breads such as Sourdough, Turkish Bread or Rye Bread will take longer to toast than
lighter breads such as White, Wholemeal or Bread Rolls.
• Sweet breads, such as Fruit Bread, that have a higher sugar content will tend to brown
quicker than non-sweetened bread.
fillings:
• You can toast any lling you like in your sandwich, sweet or savoury. The at plate design
also makes the Sandwich Press ideal for toasting bread without any llings or spreads.
CAUTION: Always take care when biting into a freshly toasted sandwich containing
fillings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as they retain heat and could scold your mouth.
• It is not necessary to use any butter or margarine on the outside of your toasted snack
because the Sandwich Press has non-stick plates.
