BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Set the browning level to maximum.
2. Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements.
3. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well
ventilated.
TOASTING
Toasting involves exposing bread to a controlled heat, which causes a chemical
reaction called the ‘Maillard Reaction’. This doesn’t just brown the bread, but alters the
flavour and texture, which is why toast tastes so good!
Since toasting is a combination of drying then cooking the bread, it is affected by
various factors such as differences in the bread’s thickness, freshness and surface
texture. Local and regional variations in household electricity voltages can also have an
effect on toasting time which is why we would advise to initially try different toasting
settings in order to find your perfect shade of toast.
TOASTING BREAD
1. Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the plug into the power socket.
3. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
4. Put bread into the toasting slots as follows:
• 1-2 slices: Put the bread into the left hand slots then press the left hand lever
down.
• 3-4 slices: Put the bread into the left and right hand slots then press the left
hand lever down first, and then the right hand lever.
•
The toaster will not latch if you press the right hand lever first
.
5. The

light will come on and the elements will heat up.
6. When it’s done, the toast will pop up.
7. To stop toasting, press

You may raise the lever further, to remove small items.
•
You may raise the lever during toasting, to check progress, then lower it again.
FROZEN BREAD
1. Leave the browning level at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the lever, then press

2. The

light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to
give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
