Hamilton Beach Sandwich Maker 25483 Troubleshooting

Low, poor, or slow heating

• The breakfast Sandwich Maker wasn’t preheated until the PREHEAT Light was illuminated. The green PREHEAT Light will come on in about 5 to 7 minutes indicating the unit is heated to the correct temperature. Light will cycle and does not indicate sandwich is ready.
• Allow 2 minutes between making sandwiches for the Breakfast Sandwich Maker to heat to the correct temperature.
• Overfilled. Reduce the amount of ingredients in your sandwich.
• Unit needs to be preheated with Cover closed with Rings and Cooking Plate in place.
• Make sure the Cooking Plate is rotated securely to the back of the Ring as far as it will go, to prevent the leaking of the egg, and the Cover is closed when preheating.

Egg undercooked, bread not done

• Extra large eggs, frozen, or very cold ingredients may lengthen cooking time. Add additional cooking time.

Egg overcooked

• Cooking time is about 5 minutes. Cooking time may vary if you are using small eggs, scrambled or egg whites. Reduce cooking time for future recipes.

Ingredients stick to Rings or nonstick Cooking Plate

Eggs leak out of Rings

The cover rises when cooking my sandwich
