• Toasting is a combination of drying and
cooking the bread, and because moisture
levels differ from one bread to another,
toasting times can vary.
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch
the power off, remove the plug from the
power outlet and ease the bread out of the
toaster.
Bread types
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting
than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use
a higher setting than normal.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins or fruit from the
surface of the bread before putting it into your
toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into your toaster or sticking to the
guard wires in the toasting slot.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
Crumpets and thicker bread
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including
crumpets) will take longer to toast—
sometimes significantly longer. This is
because more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces of bread may require two
toasting cycles.
Muffins and Bagels
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even
halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do
not force them into the toaster
Single slice toasting
If toasting 1 slice it is recommended that you
use a lower toaster setting to achieve your
required browning and to prevent burning.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife
or any other metal object, as contact with the
live element may cause electrocution.
Toasting Tips
Care and Cleaning
Always turn the power OFF and remove the
plug from the power outlet after use and
before cleaning your toaster.
To clean the exterior
Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth
and polish with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance,
do not use alkaline, chemical or abrasive
cleaners as these may scratch the surface.
Removable Crumb Tray
To remove the crumbs, simply pull tray out,
empty and place it back in the toaster.
Important: Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do
not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may
cause a potential fire hazard.
To clean the toaster interior
Clean inside the toaster regularly. To do
this, unplug the appliance, turn it upside
down over the sink and gently shake all the
crumbs out.
