Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING : The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed
as a plug with a bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

Before first use
• Before using the toaster for the first time
operate the toaster without bread.
Note:
the bread carriage lever
fi
will not stay
down unless the toaster is plugged in and
the wall switch is on.
Ventilate the room
during this period.
• As with all new electric heating elements,
your toaster emits a ‘new’ smell when it is
first switched on. This is quite normal and
not a cause for concern.
Instructions for use
1
Select the desired level of browning on
the browning control
¤
marked 1 to 8.
The setting required will vary according to
the moisture content and thickness of the
bread. For best results ensure that the
bread slices are of even thickness,
freshness and size. Remember that stale
bread toasts more rapidly than fresh and
thin bread toasts quicker than thick. See
additional points for more information.
2
After selecting the desired level, place
your bread in the slots
›
and depress the
bread carriage lever
fi
downwards until it
locks.
