User manual CUISINART GR-SM

[. . . ] The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons. Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. [. . . ] The lid to the sandwich maker should be closed while it is preheating as well as in between making batches of sandwiches. The Cuisinart® GriddlerTM overstuffed sandwich maker is designed to accommodate breads of all shapes and sizes. The sandwich plates measure 5½ x 5 inches to accommodate a wide variety of bread sizes. Breads that are longer than 5½ inches can easily be toasted lengthwise or on the diagonal. Butter, margarine, and olive oil are recommended for coating the outside of bread when making sandwiches. "Light" versions of margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand heat (check manufacturer's labels for cooking recommendations for best results). Have butter or margarine at room temperature when spreading on bread, or melt and apply with a pastry brush. For best results, moist ingredients such as sliced tomatoes or fruits, pickles, etc. , should be blotted or patted dry with a paper towel. Sauces, such as tomato sauce or salsa, can be drained for a short time in a strainer lined with a coffee filter to remove excess liquid. There are limitless filling options for the sandwich maker ­ from breakfast to snacks and from dinner to dessert. Try a wide variety of breakfast sandwiches, and omelets, mini pizzas and calzones, burritos and fruit pies. Most muffin mixes bake best by using the setting between medium and high. Spray sandwich plates with cooking spray once preheated and use ¼ cup of batter per sandwich pocket. Packaged biscuits, bread and pizza doughs found in the refrigerated section make great sandwich "shells" for any type of filling. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Once you have finished cooking in the sandwich maker, remove plug from electrical outlet. Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil or excess fillings by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the cooking plates by wiping with a damp cloth, or you may put them in the dishwasher. This will prevent staining or sticking from build up of oil or fillings. If food adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto area and let stand approximately 5 minutes, thus allowing baked-on food to soften for easy removal. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER. STORAGE Store with cord wrapped securely in the rear of the base. The sandwich maker has been designed with a special latch so lid stays closed during storage.
