Auto Lock An automatic clamping mechanism that closes the 3-in-1 appliance.The auto-lock mechanism should not be activated when the Belgian waffle plates are inserted to allow optimal performance as a waffle maker. Important Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference. Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Plug the appliance into an earthed wall socket. If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Do not immerse the appliance or the mains cord in water or other liquids. Position the appliance so that: - the mains cord does not hang over the edge of a table or worktop; - children cannot touch the appliance when it is in use; - it stands on a flat, stable surface and is surrounded by sufficient free space. Always unplug the appliance after use. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Do not let the appliance operate unattended. Do not operate it under or near curtains or other flammable materials or under wall cabinets, as bread may burn. Avoid touching the metal parts of the toaster as they become very hot during toasting. Let the appliance cool down completely before changing the plates, cleaning the appliance or putting it away. Make sure you mount the plates securely when you change them. ENGLISH 7 Never touch the plates with sharp or abrasive items, as this will damage the non-stick surface. Always clean the appliance after use. Make sure the mains cord does not come into contact with or too close to the hot surfaces of the appliance. Always preheat the plates before putting any items between them. Before first use Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the toaster with a damp cloth. The plates can be removed by pressing the plate release buttons (one for the upper plate and one for the lower plate) on the appliance, after which they can be lifted out of the appliance by means of the handles. 1 Remove the plates from the appliance (fig. 1). 2 Clean each plate with a soft cloth or sponge in hot soapy water or put them in the dishwasher (fig. 2). 3 Dry the plates and put them back into the appliance. The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time.This is normal. You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the brackets on the base of the appliance (fig. 18). Making toasted sandwiches Two different types of sandwich plates can be used for making sandwiches: the cut & seal plates and the rectangular-shaped plates.The cut & seal plates cut and seal the bread, producing triangular toasted sandwiches.The rectangular-shaped plates only seal the bread and produce rectangularshaped toasted sandwiches. Never let the sandwich maker operate unattended. 1 Place the sandwich plates in the appliance (fig. 3). When you insert the plates properly, you will hear a click. 2 Lightly grease the plates with a little butter or oil. 3 Select the sandwich setting by turning the thermostat knob to setting (fig. 4). 4 Insert the plug into the wall socket. The red power-on light and the green heating-up light go on. 5 Prepare the ingredients for your toasted sandwich. For each sandwich you need two slices of bread and a suitable filling. Read the chapter 'Recipes for toasted sandwiches' for suggestions. Lightly butter the sides of the bread that come into contact with the plates to obtain an even, golden brown result. 6 The sandwich maker is ready for use as soon as the heating-up light goes out (fig. 5). Put two slices of bread with the buttered sides on the lower plate, spread the filling onto the bread and put two other slices of bread on top, with the buttered sides pointing up.You can also toast only one sandwich, if you wish.To ensure optimal sealing, fillings should not be spread too close to the edges of the slices of bread. 7 Close the appliance (fig. 6). Lower the upper plate carefully onto the bread until the auto-lock mechanism clamps it onto the lower plate. 8 ENGLISH During the cooking process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time as an indication that the heating elements are switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. 8 Open the sandwich maker after 4-6 minutes. Check whether the toasted sandwich is golden brown.The cooking time depends on the type of bread and the filling and on how crispy and brown you want your toasted sandwiches to be. 9 Remove the sandwiches (fig. 7). Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the toasted sandwiches from the sandwich maker. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils. To continue making sandwiches, place two new slices of bread on the lower plate when the green heating-up light goes out. 10 Unplug the appliance after use. Recipes for toasted sandwiches Ham, cheese and pineapple sandwiches 4 slices of white bread 2 slices of cheese 2 slices of pineapple 2 thin slices of ham curry powder B B B Let the sandwich maker heat up. Put the cheese, the pineapple and then the ham on two slices of bread. Sprinkle the ham with some curry powder and put the other two slices of bread on top. Follow the instructions in the chapter 'Making toasted sandwiches'. Tomato, cheese and anchovy sandwiches 4 slices of white bread 1 or 2 tomatoes (cut into slices) 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese 6 anchovies paprika, marjoram B B B Let the sandwich maker heat up. Put the slices of tomato, the anchovies and the grated cheese on two slices of bread. Sprinkle with some paprika and marjoram and put the other two slices of bread on top. Follow the instructions in the chapter 'Making toasted sandwiches'. Grilling (contact grill) Never let the contact grill operate unattended. 1 Place the grilling plates in the appliance (fig. 8). When you insert the plates properly, you will hear a click. 2 Lightly grease the plates with a little butter or oil. 3 Turn the thermostat knob to the temperature setting that is appropriate for the ingredients to be grilled (1=low temperature, 5=high temperature) (fig. 9). 4 Insert the plug into the wall socket. The red power-on light and the green heating-up light go on. 5 You can place the ingredients on the lower grilling plate when the green heating-up light has gone out (fig. 10). ENGLISH For an optimal result, the ingredients should be placed in the centre of the lower grilling plate. During the cooking process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time as an indication that the heating elements are switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. 9 6 Close the appliance (fig. 11). Lower the upper grilling plate carefully onto the ingredients until the auto-lock mechanism clamps the upper plate onto the lower plate.The upper grilling plate now rests on the food, causing it to be grilled evenly on both sides. When grilling thick ingredients, do not press the upper plate down to activate the auto-lock mechanism but simply let it rest on top of the ingredients. 7 Open the contact grill after 3-5 minutes. The grilling time depends on the type of ingredients, the thickness of the items and your personal taste. See the table for the recommended grilling times. 8 Remove the grilled food (fig. 12). Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the grilled food from the contact grill. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils. To continue grilling, place the next batch of food on the lower plate when the green heating-up light goes out. For optimal results, remove excess oil from the plates with a piece of kitchen paper before placing the next batch of food on the grill. 9 Unplug the appliance after use. Grilling times In the table you will find a number of dishes you can prepare with the contact grill.The grilling times indicated in the table do not include the time necessary to let the appliance heat up. During the cooking process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time to indicate that the heating elements are switched on or off to maintain the correct temperature. When the green light goes on or out, you can simply continue grilling. You can adapt the grilling time and grilling temperature to your own taste.The setting also depends on the kind of food that is being prepared (e.g. meat), its thickness and its temperature. Tips Do not use the contact grill to prepare meat with bones attached to it.The bones could damage the non-stick coating of the plates. Always cook small batches to get the best results. Sausages tend to burst when they are being cooked.This can be prevented by punching a few holes in the skin with a fork. Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat. Do not put salt on the meat until after you have grilled it.This will help to preserve the meat juices. Do not grill pieces of meat that are too thick. Turn ingredients that are thinner than about 1 cm at least once during grilling. 10 ENGLISH Grilling times Ingredient Salmon or tuna steak Fish (small pieces) Sausage Hamburger (frozen, pre-cooked) Hamburger (fresh) Piece of meat Vegetables Mixed grill Pineapple slices Turkey/chicken filet (200 g) Grilling time 7-9 minutes 5-7 minutes 5-7 minutes 7-10 minutes 5-7 minutes 5-7 minutes 5-6 minutes 8-10 minutes 3-5 minutes 6-9 minutes Setting 4-5 4-5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 Making waffles Two different types of plates can be used for making waffles: the Nordic waffle plates (heart shape) and the Belgian waffle plates. Never let the waffle maker operate unattended. 1 Make batter according to the instructions given in the chapter 'Recipes for waffles'. To get optimal results, let the batter stand for half an hour before you start making waffles. 2 Place the waffle plates in the appliance (fig. 13). When you insert the plates properly, you will hear a click. 3 Lightly grease the plates with a little butter or oil. 4 Turn the thermostat knob to the waffle setting (fig. 14). 5 Insert the plug into the wall socket. The red power-on light and the green heating-up light go on. 6 Pour the batter onto the lower waffle plate when the green heating-up light has gone out (fig. 15). Pour about 100 ml of batter onto the lower Nordic waffle plate and about 180 ml of batter onto the lower Belgian waffle plate. 7 Close the appliance (fig. 16). Lower the upper plate carefully onto the batter WITHOUT activating the auto-lock mechanism.This will allow the waffles to expand and gives a better end result. During the cooking process, the green heating-up light goes on and goes out from time to time as an indication that the heating elements are switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. 8 Open the waffle maker after 5-7 minutes. Check whether the waffles are golden brown.The cooking time depends on the type of batter and on how crispy and brown you want your waffles to be. ENGLISH 11 9 Remove the waffles (fig. 17). Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the waffles from the waffle maker. Do not use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils. Let the waffles cool down on a wire rack so that they become crispy. Longer cooking times will result in darker waffles, whereas shorter cooking times will give lighter results. To continue cooking, pour the next batch of batter onto the waffle plate when the green heating-up light goes out. 10 Unplug the appliance after use.
