BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION: Never force bread into the toasting slots. Bread should fit easily into the
toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered. Take extra care
when toasting items that contain sugar, jam or preserves, as there is a risk of the
ingredients leaking into the toaster, causing overheating. Don’t use bent, damaged
or broken bread in your toaster as it may cause it to jam.
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.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same
as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and
make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface. 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.
HOT SURFACE DO NOT TOUCH
This symbol indicates that the temperature of accessible surfaces may be
high when the appliance is operating and for some time after use.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected,
the darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting slots. 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.
3. When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise and the toasted bread can be
removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you
remove the toast.
4. If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the browning control to a
lower setting and watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
Toasting tips
• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread and, because moisture
levels differ from one bread to another, toasting times can vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including crumpets) will take longer to toast—sometimes
significantly longer. This is because more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require two toasting
cycles.
