before using for the first time
Set the browning level to maximum (all browning level lights on), and run the toaster without
bread. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
toasting bread
1 Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
3 Bread may burn. Don’t use the appliance near or below curtains or other combustible
materials and watch it while it’s hot.
4 Put the plug into the power socket.
5 The left four browning level lights will light up.
6 Use the buttons at either end of the browning level lights to lighten

the
toast. The browning level lights will come on/go off to indicate the level chosen. The more
lights showing, the darker the toast.
7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 28mm/1

extra lift
12 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be raised
further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
frozen bread

13 This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
14 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the bread
carriage handle, then press the
f
button. The
f
light will come on, and the toasting time will
be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
caution
don’t try to defrost bread – you’ll probably wreck the toaster
a) toasting frozen bread changes ice to steam, which escapes via the toasting slots
b) defrosting bread on a low setting changes ice to water, which drips into the toaster, over
the electronics and maybe the elements, causing mayhem
reheating toast
15 Use the lowest setting. Only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
hints and tips
16 If toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
17 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast
18 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread. Use a lower setting
19 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than ordinary
bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting
crumbs
20 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This is
unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
21 Unplug the toaster and let it cool down. Remove and empty the crumb tray. Wipe with a
damp cloth, dry, then replace it in the toaster.
22 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
