How do I clean my Sandwich Maker?

Switch off, unplug and allow the sandwich maker to cool down completely. Clean the sandwich toaster after each use to maintain it in a good clean working condition. The outside Wipe with a damp cloth then dry. Toasting plates Wipe the plates with a damp cloth, using soapy water if necessary, then dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they will damage the non-stick coating.
Is there anything I should do before I use my Sandwich Maker for the first time?

Before the first use you should lightly brush the surface of the plates with cooking oil. Don’t use low fat spreads as they may burn and damage the non-stick surface. Heat the unit with the lid open for 5 minutes. Unplug and allow to cool, then remove any excess oil with absorbent paper.
