Tower Deep Fill Sandwich Maker - Silver

No, the plates are not designed for dishwasher use. Always clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild detergent after they have cooled down to protect the non-stick coating.

Cooking times vary depending on the ingredients and desired crispness, but a typical deep-fill sandwich usually takes between 3-7 minutes. Waffles and grilled items may take similar times.

While the plates are non-stick and designed to cook without oil or butter, a very light brush of oil or butter for the first use, or occasionally for specific recipes, can enhance browning and flavour. Always avoid excessive oil to prevent buildup.

Medium-sliced bread works best. Very thick bread might not fit comfortably, and very thin bread might get too compressed. Avoid breads with a high sugar content as they tend to burn faster.

Yes, you can cook thin cuts of raw meat like chicken breasts or sausages on the grill plates. Ensure the meat is fully cooked through by checking its internal temperature with a food thermometer if necessary. Always clean the plates thoroughly after cooking raw meat.

The appliance features cool-touch housing and safety mechanisms. However, it operates at high temperatures. Children should always be supervised by an adult when operating the sandwich maker to prevent burns or injury.

The dimensions are H12 x W26 x D26cm, making it a compact appliance suitable for most kitchen counters.

Ensure the appliance is cool and unplugged. Locate the release buttons or latches (often on the sides or near the hinge) for the plates. Press these to release the installed plates, then carefully slide in the new set until they click securely into place.

Ensure the appliance is fully plugged into a working power outlet. Check your circuit breaker. If the issue persists, the internal thermostat or heating element may be faulty.

Ensure plates are clean before use. Lightly brush or spray the non-stick plates with a little cooking oil or butter before adding ingredients, especially for the first few uses after cleaning. Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the coating.

Check that the plates are correctly installed and seated firmly in their slots. Ensure you are not overfilling the sandwich, as this can prevent the lid from closing properly and applying even pressure. Make sure the locking latch is securely fastened.

The indicator light signals when the appliance is heating or has reached cooking temperature. If the appliance is heating but the light isn't working, it could be a minor electrical fault with the indicator itself. If the appliance isn't heating at all, refer to the 'not heating up' solution.
