24 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
hints and tips
25 When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
26 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
27 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
28 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
crumbs
29 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
30 Unplug the toaster and let it cool down. Remove and empty the crumb tray. Wipe it
with a damp cloth, dry, then replace it in the toaster.
31 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
jamming
32 If the bread jams in the toaster, the contacts will open and turn off the power to the
elements. You should still unplug the toaster and leave it to cool down before trying
to release the jam.
care and maintenance
1 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it
