before using for the first time
1 Turn the browning control to the highest setting (7).
2 Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements. This may smell a bit, but
it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
toasting bread
3 Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat resistant surface, clear of curtains
and other combustible materials. Don’t put it on or near anything that could be
damaged even by moderate sources of heat.
4 Plug the cable into the power socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.
5 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 30mm ).
6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (light
d
to dark
e
).
7 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
8 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off automatically.

frozen bread
f
10 This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
11 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the bread carriage handle, then press the
f
button.
12 The light attached to this button, will come on, and the toasting time will be altered
automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
reheating toast
m
13 There’s no need to adjust the browning control. Insert the toast, lower the bread
carriage handle, then press the
m
button. The light, attached to this button will
come on, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then pop up. You must only
reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
extra lift

14 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
hints and tips
15 When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
16 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
17 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread. Use a lower setting.
18 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
