Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly.
It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the countertop or tabletop or other
furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the
countertop or tabletop. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may
occur or stains can appear.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WESTINGHOUSE
WST3025 2-SLICE SANDWICH MAKER
PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATION
OPERATE ONLY IN THE CLOSED POSITION
4
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
IMPORTANT: Before using, operate the appliance without bread in order to burn off residues on the
Cooking Plates. To avoid burns, care should be taken when handling the Sandwich Maker. The sides
of the Cooking Plates are exposed and may be hot.
1. Carefully unpack Sandwich Maker and remove all packaging material.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never immerse in water.
3. To burn off residues on the Cooking Plates, it will be necessary to operate the unit for a few
minutes before initial use. Do not add bread or oil during this time.
4. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface, where it can be easily plugged into
a 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. Open the Sandwich Maker. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while residues burn off.
6. Allow the Sandwich Maker to operate until smoke and odor dissipate; then unplug Sandwich
Maker and allow it to cool. Be careful, the Cooking Plates will be hot!
NOTE: Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this is normal and should disappear after
one or two uses.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: To activate the "Moo Sound" remove the insulating tab from under the cow's chin. You can
make your mooWHICH™ 2 - Slice Sandwich Maker "Moo" by pressing the Sound Activation
button under the cow's chin. This will have no affect on the operation of your Sandwich Maker.
1. Plug into a 120V AC power outlet.
2. Close the Lid.
3. The Red ON/OFF Indicator Light illuminates. Preheat the Sandwich Maker for approximately 3-4
minutes. When the Green READY Light goes off, the unit has preheated properly and you may
begin assembling sandwiches.
NOTE: DURING TOASTING, THE GREEN READY INDICATOR LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND OFF AS THE
SANDWICH MAKER KEEPS THE SET TEMPERATURE CONSISTENT.
4. While the Sandwich Maker is preheating, we suggest that you prepare your sandwiches and fillings.
NOTE: When preparing to use the Sandwich Maker for the first time, place a small amount of butter,
margarine or cooking oil into each of the triangle-shaped Plates. This will ensure that
sandwiches will be easier to remove when cooking is complete.
NOTE: Initially, some smoking may occur. This is normal for newly manufactured appliances and will
not occur after the first few uses.
5. After preheating, place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto either cooking surface.
Spoon approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the filling onto the bread, leaving a 1/4" border around
bread. Top with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.*
6. Hold your spatula (or other non-metal utensil) in front of the sandwich to prevent the top slice
from sliding forward as you close the Lid. Fasten the Locking Lid Latch and press down until it
snaps into the “LOCK” position.
7. Allow the sandwiches to toast for approximately 2 - 3 minutes.
8. Your Sandwich Maker toasts both sides of the sandwich at once and seals in the flavor. The sand
wich will be formed into two sealed halves.
9. To remove the toasted sandwich, always use a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a sharp or
metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of the Cooking Plates.
10. Allow to cool to a safe handling temperature. If 4 pockets are preferred, use a pizza cutter or
serrated knife to cut the pockets apart.
11. Disconnect the plug from wall outlet when not in use.
* If you choose not to butter your bread for dietary reasons, periodically oil the cooking surface for
easier removal of the toasted sandwiches.

FOR LOW-FAT, LOW CHOLESTEROL SANDWICHES
•
•
•
•
All recipes will work with thin-sliced diet breads.
Don't add butter, mayonnaise or dressings to sandwiches.
Use low-fat, low-cholesterol spreads instead of butter.
Use low-fat cheese.
FOR HIGH-FIBER SANDWICHES
•
•
Instead of white breads, use whole-wheat or oat bran breads.
Blend 1/4-cup crushed bran flakes into 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine, then spread
on inside of bread.
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
•
•
•
Always preheat the Sandwich Maker before each use.
Have all ingredients at hand before preparing sandwich.
A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, fruit breads, and white bread. Be
sure to select breads that will fit the Sandwich Maker —approximately 4” square.
(Most presliced loaves of bread found in the supermarket will be sufficient.)
For best results, we recommend to butter the outside of the bread.
Use flavored butters to add interest to your sandwiches, such as garlic or parsley butter. (See
Flavored Butters section in this manual for recipe suggestions.) With plain fillings such as
meats, spread the inside of the bread with mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or pickle relish.
If you prefer not to use butter or margarine, clean the Cooking Plates occasionally with a little
vegetable oil to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier. Rub off excess oil with a soft,
absorbent paper towel.
•
•
•
•
•
When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Bread can be slightly toasted before
filling is added.
Most fresh fruits give off juice when heated. Instead of fresh fruits, canned fruits can be
used; drain fruit and pat dry with a clean paper towel.
•
•
Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to "run" under high tem-peratures.
A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes toasted sand-wiches more crisp and
adds flavor when using sweet fillings. Serve desserts with custard or cream.
Remember that whole grain and sweet breads will toast quicker than white breads.
After you have removed finished sandwiches, close the Lid to retain the heat while assembling
more sandwiches.
•
•
•
Wipe the Cooking Plates clean after each use to avoid food contami-nation.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it
yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified
appliance repair technician.
TO CLEAN
Before cleaning your Sandwich Maker, unplug from the wall outlet and allow the Sandwich Maker to
cool until warm. THE UNIT SHOULD NOT BE
HOT WHEN CLEANING.
1. Wipe the triangle-shaped Cooking Plates and the Diagonal Cooking Edges with an absorbent
paper towel or cloth while the unit is still warm. When the unit has cooled completely, you may
wipe the surface again with a damp cloth.
2. While the surface of the Cooking Plates are coated with a nonstick material, some fillings may
leak and cook onto the surface. If rubbing with a damp cloth fails to remove the burnt-on food, we
suggest you pour a small amount of soda water onto the surface and let it sit overnight. The food
should wipe clean in the morning. NEVER IMMERSE THIS PRODUCT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID!
3. Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth or towel that has been rinsed in warm, soapy
water. Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or utensils to clean
either the inside or outside of this Sandwich Maker. They will scratch the surface.
4. CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
TO STORE
Unplug unit and allow to cool. Store in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or
still plugged in. The power cord may be wound using the Cord Storage area on the bottom of the unit.
Do not put any stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could cause the cord to fray and break. The
Sandwich Maker can be placed in a vertical position (handles pointed up) for neat and compact storage.
