Full details
The Dualit Contact Sandwich Toaster is a professional-grade appliance engineered for commercial kitchens, cafés, and caterers who need to serve high-quality, toasted sandwiches consistently and quickly. It excels at sealing edges and dividing sandwiches up to 5 inches square, making it ideal for busy environments that demand high output; however, its heavy-duty design and size mean it is less suitable for small domestic kitchens with limited counter space.

FAQs
How many sandwiches can it toast at once?
The unit features two sets of contact plates, allowing you to toast two sandwiches per side, for a total of four sandwiches simultaneously.
Can I use this for non-bread items?
This appliance is specifically designed for sandwich toasting. Using it for other purposes may damage the Teflon coating or the heating elements.
How do I clean the Teflon plates?
Once cooled, wipe the plates with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Never use abrasive pads or steel wool.
Is it possible to use only half of the machine?
Yes, the Dualit Contact Sandwich Toaster features independently controlled heating zones to save energy during quiet periods.
What is the maximum sandwich size?
The toaster is designed to accommodate sandwiches up to 5 inches square.
Does it require a special electrical installation?
It uses a standard commercial plug, but you should always verify that your kitchen electrical circuit can handle the load of a professional appliance.
Troubleshooting
Sandwiches are sticking to the plates
The Teflon coating may be worn or damaged. Ensure you are not using metal tools and consider a light wipe of oil if the non-stick surface has degraded.
Heating zone not reaching temperature
Verify the independent control switch is set to the ON position and check that the unit is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet.
Unit does not power on
Check the fuse in the plug or ensure the circuit breaker for the kitchen outlet has not been tripped.
