BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the toaster and remove any packaging. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a slightly damp
cloth, then dry. Before you begin to toast, operate the toaster once without any bread. This will remove any
residue from the factory.
TOASTING
1.
Place the toaster on a sturdy, flat surface, well away from the edge and a few inches from the wall.
2.
Make sure the crumb tray is in place and the lever is up.
3.
Plug the toaster into the socket. Place bread, crumpets, sliced bagels, muffins etc. into the toasting slots.
4.
Push down the lever until it locks into place. If toasting frozen bread, press the defrost button after lowering
the lever. The indicator light will come on.
5.
To select your desired toasting level, press the + or – buttons. There are 9 settings: the higher the number,
the darker the toast. See TOASTING TIPS. Your chosen setting will be clearly shown on the digital display.
6.
The blue LED countdown lights will glow, to show that toasting has begun. They will go off one by one to
indicate your toast’s progress.
7.
The toast will pop up automatically when ready. To stop the toasting cycle earlier, press the stop button.
For easier retrieval of crumpets or muffins, lift up the lever.
8.
To warm toast that has already popped up and cooled down, push down the lever and press the reheat
button. The indicator light will come on.
9.
Unplug the toaster after use.
TOASTING TIPS
•
For best results, choose bread slices of the same thickness, size and freshness.
•
For dry or thinly cut bread, choose a lower browning setting.
•
Very fresh or wholewheat bread requires a higher setting, as does unevenly textured bread e.g. English
muffins.
•
Sliced bagels and thickly cut bread take longer to toast because of the time required to evaporate their
moisture content. They may need two toasting cycles.
•
Remove any loose raisins etc. from fruit loaf before toasting.
•
Choose a lower setting than normal when toasting a single slice, to prevent over-toasting. You may notice
the toast is lighter on one side; this is normal.
•
We recommend waiting at least 30 seconds between toasting cycles, or simply select a lower setting for
your next round of toast.
CARE AND CLEANING
•
Before cleaning, unplug the toaster and let it cool down. Wipe the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth,
then dry. Never immerse in water.
•
Slide out the crumb tray. Wipe, then replace.
•
Please do not use abrasive cleaners, wire wool or scourers as they will damage the toaster.
SAFETY NOTES
To dislodge any bread stuck in the toaster, unplug the appliance and let it cool down, then turn it upside down
and shake gently. Never insert sharp or metal utensils, or your fingers, into the slots as this may cause electric
shock or damage.
Please do not wrap the power cord around the toaster body; use the storage cleats on the underside.
