BROWNING CONTROL
The browning control regulates how much the bread
is toasted—in other words, the colour of the toast.
Lower settings produce lighter toast and higher
settings produce darker toast.
When setting the browning control, remember that
dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and
require a lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread
will require a higher setting.
CANCEL BUTTON
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by
pressing the cancel button.
HIGH LIFT FEATURE
The high lift feature uses the loading handle to help
you to remove the toast. When toasting has finished,
simply lift the loading handle upwards from its rest
position to raise the toast and make it easier to
remove.
FROZEN BREAD FUNCTION
The frozen bread function allows you to toast bread
straight from the freezer. Insert the bread into your
toaster, press the loading handle down and then
press the frozen bread button. Your toaster will
extend the toasting time to allow the bread time to
defrost. Watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t
burn.
REHEAT FUNCTION
The reheat function will heat up toast that has cooled
or gone cold. Press the loading handle down then
press the reheat button. Keep a careful eye on the
toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn. Don’t use the
reheat function on buttered toast.
BREAD SLOTS 1 AND 2
Always use bread slots 1 and 2 when toasting one
or two slices of bread. The symbol above the
loading handle indicates that this should be the first
handle to be engaged.
BREAD SLOTS 3 AND 4
When toasting more than two slices of bread, use
slots 3 and 4 in addition to slots 1 and 2. Lower
the handle marked first, then lower the handle
marked . Loading handle will not latch unless
loading handle is already in the latched position.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Never force bread into the toasting
slots. Bread should fit easily into the
toasting slots. Never toast slices of
bread that have been buttered. Take
extra care when toasting items that
contain sugar, jam or preserves, as
there is a risk of the ingredients leaking
into the toaster, causing overheating.
Don’t use bent, damaged or broken
bread in your toaster as it may cause it
to jam.
Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove
all packaging from inside the toasting slots.
Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and
level work surface away from the edge. Bread may
burn therefore do not use the appliance near or
below combustible materials such as curtains. Never
use the toaster below wall cupboards or shelves.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure
your mains supply voltage is the same as the one
indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a
suitable power outlet and make sure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
When you first use your toaster, there may be a
slight odour as the heating elements warm up for the
first time. This is quite normal and not a cause for
concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your
toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Set the level of toasting using the browning
control. The higher the number selected, the
darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting slots. You can
toast one, two, three or four slices of bread.
If you are toasting one or two slices, place
them into the right hand pair of slots. Press the
loading handle down until it latches. The bread
will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will
begin.
The loading handle will not latch if you are
toasting one or two slices of bread and they are
placed in the left hand slots or if your toaster is
not connected to the mains supply.
3. When toasting has finished, the loading handle
will rise and the toasted bread can be removed.
You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond
its rest position to help you remove the toast.
4. If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted
again. Turn the browning control to a lower
setting and watch the toast to ensure that it
doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing
the cancel button.
TOASTING TIPS
• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking
the bread and, because moisture levels differ
from one bread to another, toasting times can
vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than
normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a
higher setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including crumpets)
will take longer to toast—sometimes significantly
longer. This is because more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting can
occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require
two toasting cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins or fruit from the
surface of the bread before putting it into your
toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from
falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard
wires in the toasting slot.
SINGLE SLICE TOASTING
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the
browning control to a lower setting than normal. By
using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of
bread, it will not be over toasted.
IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS
Never use a knife or any other
utensil or implement to remove jammed
bread. Never insert your fingers into the
bread slots.
1. Switch the toaster off at the mains supply socket
and unplug it.
2. Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
3. Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being
careful not to damage the heating element.
CLEANING
Always switch off, unplug and allow
the toaster to cool down before moving,
cleaning or storing. Never immerse the
toaster or power cord and plug in water
or any other liquid.
• Clean the outside of your toaster with a damp
cloth then dry thoroughly.
• Never use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners.
CRUMB REMOVAL
It is important that crumbs are not
allowed to build up inside your toaster.
Excess crumbs are unhygienic and
could catch fire.
Crumbs can be removed by sliding the crumb tray
out from the bottom of your toaster. You can then tip
the crumbs out. Always make sure that your toaster
has completely cooled down and is disconnected
from the mains supply before removing crumbs.
Never use your toaster without the crumb tray fitted.
Always replace the crumb tray before using your
toaster.
