Read these instructions before use and keep them safe. If you pass the toaster on, pass
on the instructions too.
Remove all packaging, but keep it till you’re satisfied the toaster is working.
Important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 Don’t put your toaster in water, don’t use it in a bathroom or near water
contained in a bath-tub, basin or any other vessel, and don’t use it
outdoors.
2 This appliance should only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible
adult.
3 Position the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power
socket, and out of reach of children.
4 Don’t use it near or below curtains or other combustible materials and watch it
while it’s hot, as bread can catch fire if overcooked.
5 The area round the toasting slots will get hot during use – don’t touch!
6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught accidentally.
7 When using only one of the toasting slots, don’t let anything get into the other slot,
as both slots will become “live” when you lower the bread carriage handle.
8 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting.
9 If the bread carriage becomes jammed during the toasting cycle don’t try to release
it. Switch off the power socket (if appropriate), unplug the toaster, and leave it to
cool down before carefully removing the bread. Don’t use a knife, fork, or other
sharp implement – you’ll damage the elements.
10 Don’t toast “buttered” items or try to make toasted sandwiches in the toaster, as
this will create a fire hazard.
11 Don’t use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread, as these may jam the eject
mechanism.
12 Unplug the toaster after use, and let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing
away.
13 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
14 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is closed.
15 Don’t connect this appliance to an external timer or remote control system.
16 Keep the toaster and cable away from hotplates, hobs and burners.
17 Don’t use the toaster if it’s damaged or malfunctions. If the cable is damaged, the
toaster must be returned, in order to avoid hazard.
household use only
before using for the first time
Before making toast for the first time, set the browning control to 6, and operate the
toaster without bread, to burn off any dust etc. from the new elements. This may smell
a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
