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. 

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

Various lights will illuminate whenever a button is pressed or a switch or dial position is 

changed. They will autiomatically switch off after 10 seconds of inactivity

1.  Place the bread into the toasting slots. You can toast one, two, three or four slices of 

bread but only place a single slice in each slot. 

2.  Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected, 

the darker the toast will be. The lights around the control will show the selected level.

3.  If required, use the slot select button(s) to select which bread slots you are going to 

use. Press the left hand button once to select slot 1 only and press it twice to select 

slots 1 and 2. Press the right hand button once to select slot 3 only and press it twice 

to select slots 3 and 4. The light in front of each slot will show when it is selected.

4.  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. 

 

The lights surrounding the variable browning control will all light up as toasting starts 

and will go out one by one as the toasting cycle completes. The last light will go out 

when toasting has finished and the loading handle will rise. You can lift the loading 

handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast.

5.  You can use the lift-and-look feature during toasting to check your toast. Simply lift 

the loading handle up to examine your toast and lower it again to resume toasting. If 

you find your toast is cooked to your preference, press the relevant CANCEL switch 

to stop any further toasting.

6.  Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the CANCEL switch corresponding 

to the slot(s) in use. 

7.  Use the high lift feature to remove the toast when it is finished. Fully raise the loading 

handle until it locks in the raised position then remove the toast.
