Operating your Toaster
•
Position the toaster on a dry, stable level
work surface, away from the edge.
Ensure that the cord does not over-hang
the work surface as this is a hazard.
•
Insert the plug into a suitable power
outlet, 220-240V.
•
Insert the bread, crumpets or bagels into
the bread slots.
•
Using the Cooking Adjustment Dial,
select the desired browning setting;
toasting settings range from 1 (lightest)
to 6 (darkest). When using the toaster for
the first time, select setting 3. Varying
types of bread and personal preference
may require a different setting.
•
Press the carriage control lever down
until it locks into place. The toasting
cycle can be stopped at any time by
pressing the cancel button.
•
Remove the toast taking care not to
touch any hot surfaces. In the unlikely
event that bread or crumpets becomes
jammed, switch the toaster off at the
power outlet and disconnect the plug.
Allow the toaster to cool fully before
carefully turning the toaster upside down
and shaking gently to remove the
jammed items ensuring that you do not
damage the element. Never insert your
hands or any hard or sharp instrument
into the slots.
•
If the toast starts to smoke before it has
popped up, stop the toasting process by
pressing the cancel button.
•
The reheat button is designed to reheat the
toast without cooking it further.
VARIABLE BROWNING CONTROLS
•
Dry or thin slices will toast quicker than
moist or thick slices, so use a lower
browning control setting.
•
When toasting two slices at the same time,
try to use the same size and consistency of
bread to achieve equal browning.
•
The defrost button is designed to first
defrost, then toast the bread. This will
extend the toasting cycle slightly. Press the
bread carriage lever down until it locks into
position, then press the defrost button so
the red light illuminates. When the cycle is
complete the bread carriage will raise the
toast up. If you wish to stop the defrosting
before it is finished, simply press the
cancel button.
•
Toasting is a combination of cooking and
drying the bread. Moisture levels differ
from one bread to another, which can
result in varying toasting times.
•
For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting
than normal.
•
For fresh bread or whole wheat, use a
higher setting than normal.
•
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such
as English muffins) will require a higher
setting.
•
Thickly cut pieces of bread (including
bagels) will take longer to toast. Very
thick pieces may require two cycles.
•
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins from the surface
of the bread before placing into the
toaster to prevent pieces falling into the
toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the
slot.
•
Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel
into two equal halves.
•
If you are toasting a single slice of bread,
select a lighter setting than normal to
avoid over toasting. The toaster is
designed to heat the whole toasting
chamber for two slices.
•
Frozen breads, i.e. waffles and bagels
should be warmed using the defrost
button.
