Compact Sandwich Press.The weight of the top
cooking plate will gradually press down the
sandwich during the cooking process..
Before Use
Remove any promotional labels and/or
packaging materials from the Sandwich
Press before use.
5.Toasting should take approximately 5-8
minutes. However exact toasting time
will be a matter of taste. It will also
depend on the type and thickness of
the bread and fillings used.
Check that the cooking plates are clean
and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over
with a damp cloth.
Place on a flat, level surface. Slide the
storage clip on the left hand side of the
Sandwich Press handle towards you for
the open position. Ensure the Sandwich
Press is in the closed position for
preheating.
6.When your sandwich is cooked, open
the lid. Remove the sandwich with the
help of a plastic spatula. Never use
metal utensils as these can cause
damage to the non-stick coating of the
cooking plates.
Note:Always allow the Compact Sandwich Press to
preheat until the green ‘Ready’ light goes out.
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240V power
point and turn the power on.The red
power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.
When using your Compact Sandwich
Press for the first time you may notice a
fine smoke haze.This is caused by the
heating of some of the components.There
is no need for concern.
2.Allow the Compact Sandwich Press to
preheat in the closed position until the
green ‘READY’ light illuminates.
3. During this time, prepare the sandwich
and place it onto the bottom cooking
plate.Always place sandwich towards
the rear of the bottom cooking plate.
4. Close the top cooking plate which has a
floating hinge that is designed to evenly
press down on the sandwich (see fig 1)

Hints for best results
Bread
Most types of bread can be used: white,
wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain,
raisin loaf and so on.The Sandwich Press
is ideal for toasting focaccia,Turkish bread,
bagettes as well as bread rolls. Raisin
bread, brioche or other sweet breads
which contain a high sugar content and
will tend to brown quicker.
Fillings
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 or jam as
they retain heat and can burn if eaten too
quickly.
Toasting Bread
The unique flat plate design makes the
Compact Sandwich Press ideal for toasting
plain breads, and Turkish bread, without
any fillings or spreads.Try toasting Turkish
bread with jams for a great alternative to
standard breads at breakfast.
Reheating
If your sandwich is not being eaten
immediately, place it on a paper napkin to
absorb condensation.To keep for longer,
place on a rack on an oven-proof dish to
keep warm in a low oven, about 100˚C.
The sandwich will keep hot for up to 20
minutes this way, but will then begin to
dry out.
Fat Free Snacks
Due to the non-stick coated flat plate
design it is not necessary to use any
butter or margarine on the outside of
your toasted snacks.

Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Do not immerse any
part of your Kambrook
COMPACT Sandwich Press in
water or any other liquid.
1. Slide the storage clip away from the
front handle, so that the top and
bottom cooking plates are locked
together (see fig 3).
Always clean your Compact Sandwich
Press after each use to prevent a build up
of baked-on foods.
Before cleaning turn the power at the
power outlet off and remove the plug.
Allow your Compact Sandwich Press to
cool slightly.The unit is easier to clean
when slightly warm.
