BEFORE USING YOUR TOASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME
1.
Carefully unpack the toaster and remove any packaging. Wrap any excess cord around the cleats on the
underside of the toaster.
2.
Plug in the toaster and operate once, without any bread, on a medium setting. You may notice a slight
burning smell when the toaster is first switched on; this is completely normal with new heating elements.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1.
Plug the toaster into the mains socket.
2.
Turn the browning control to your preferred setting. The higher the setting, the darker the toast will be.
3.
Insert bread, muffins, bagels etc.
4.
Lower the lever until it locks. The lever will only stay down if the toaster is plugged in. The cancel button
will light up.
•
To toast frozen bread, press the defrost button after lowering the lever. The defrost button will light up.
•
To toast bagels, cut in half and place the bagel with its cut side innermost. Press the bagel button after
lowering the lever. The bagel button will light up. This setting reduces the heat to the outside of the bagel,
so it does not burn.
•
To warm toast that has already popped up, but has gone cold, press the reheat button after lowering the
lever. The reheat button will light up.
5.
Your toast will automatically pop up when it’s ready. To raise it higher, lift the lever. To stop the toasting
cycle earlier, simply press the cancel button. Never lift the lever to stop the toasting.
6.
After use, unplug the toaster.
TOASTING TIPS
•
For lightly browned toast, or to toast one slice only, select a lower setting.
•
A single slice of toast may vary in colour from one side to the other. This is perfectly normal.
•
Dry or stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread. Likewise, thinly sliced bread is quicker to toast
than thick slices. In both cases we recommend selecting a lower browning setting than usual.
•
For the best results, ensure your bread slices are of even thickness, freshness and size.
•
To avoid over-browning, it is best to wait at least 30 seconds between toasting cycles. Alternatively, select
a lower setting when making your next round of toast.
CARE AND CLEANING
1.
Always unplug the toaster and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
2.
Slide out the crumb tray. Wipe it and replace. We recommend doing this regularly as crumbs can smoke
or even burn.
3.
If any bread is stuck in the toaster, unplug it, turn it upside down and shake gently. Never put your fingers
or any metal utensils into the toaster slots. This could damage the toaster and lead to an electric shock.
4.
Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or scourers as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION: never immerse the toaster, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
