How do I safely swap the baking plates on my TRISTAR SA-3071 Sandwich Maker?

[Miller]

Changing the baking plates on your TRISTAR SA-3071 Sandwich Maker is straightforward. To do this safely, and correctly follow these steps: First, unlock the safety lock to open the sandwich maker. Next, locate the two latches and slide them back simultaneously to release the baking plates, repeating this process for both the top and bottom plates. When inserting new plates, align the tabs on the plates with the slots inside the appliance; there's only one correct orientation. Once aligned, securely fix the plates in place. Always allow the TRISTAR SA-3071 and its plates to cool down completely before handling them to avoid burns or injury. Following these steps ensures safe and correct use of your sandwich maker.
