using your toaster
Never force bread into the toasting slots. Bread should fit easily into the
toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered. Never use your
toaster with any food item that contains sugar, or any product that contains jam
or preserves. Don’t use bent, damaged or broken bread in your toaster as it may
cause it to jam.
Before first use
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 or two slices of bread but
only place a single slice in each slot. 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 your toaster is not connected to the mains supply,
and may not latch if the browning control is set to its minimum or lowest setting.
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 keep a careful eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
