frozen bread. It is also suitable for bagels,
English muffins, rolls and other pastries (without
filling) up to a thickness of 1.4 inches (3.5 cm).
• The loading lever is situated on the left side of
the toaster, at the top. - Fig. 1

on the front of the appliance.

Before using for the first time
• Unpack the appliance and remove any labels.
• The packaging box may be recycled, but it may
be useful for returning the appliance to an
authorised Service Dealer if necessary.
• Read the manual and carefully follow the
instructions.
• If the appliance is to be used in a country other
than that of purchase, it should be checked by an
approved Service Centre (See After Sales
Service section). Standards may vary according
to the country.
• Check that the crumb removal tray, situated
under the toaster, is correctly clipped onto the
appliance. Connect to the mains.
• Unwind the supply cord completely. You can
shorten the length of the cord by loosely
wrapping it once around the pegs at the bottom
of the toaster.
First time use
• Before using for the first time, set the «browning
control» button to minimum without inserting any
bread.
• Load the toaster. Using it for the first time without
bread will remove any unpleasant odours from
the new appliance.
Using the toaster
• Check that the crumb tray is locked underneath
the toaster
(see Fig. 7).
• Unwind the supply cord completely.
Setting the browning control
• Select the browning control to the appropriate
setting depending on the type and thickness of
the bread :
1-2 very slighty toasted, 3 slighty toasted,
4-5 well toasted, 6 very toasted
• After trying out the toaster a few times you will
quickly get to know the right setting for each type
of bread.
Remember, this will need to be altered to suit
your own taste and according to :
• The freshness and texture of the bread - For
bread older than one or two days, use a lower
number setting as it will toast more quickly.
• For fresh bread, very fresh teacakes, English
muffins and frozen bread, use a higher setting as
they take slightly longer to toast.
For some types of brown bread E.g. Wholemeal
bread, use a slightly higher setting.
• When the toaster is hot, the bread toasts more
quickly and may need adjusting to a lower setting.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, they
must be of the same size, type and thickness
otherwise, they will brown unevenly.
Inserting the slices of bread - Fig. 3
• Place the slices of bread in the slots. Make sure
the slices do not overlap each other. The loading
command must be in the up position.
