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.
31  Slide the crumb tray out and empty it.
32  Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry, then slide it back into place under the toaster.
33  Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.

care and maintenance

34  Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool 

before cleaning and storing away.

35  Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
36  Don’t let anything enter the slots, you might damage the elements.
37  Don’t put the toaster in liquid.
38  Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
