toasting bread
5 Sit the toaster upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
6 Don’t put it on or near anything that might be damaged even by moderate heat.
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
8 Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible
materials, and watch it while it’s hot.
9 Put the plug into the power socket. Switch the socket on, if it’s switchable.
10 You can treat the left and right pairs of toasting slots as two independent 2-slice
toasters, with two independent sets of controls.
11 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
12 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 27mm).
13 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
14 The
5
light will glow, to show that the elements are heating.
15 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the light will go out, and the elements will
turn off.

Take care – if you’re using both pairs of slots, they’ll probably pop up at different
times.

button – the toast will pop up, the light will go out,
and the elements will turn off.

17 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
bagel
b
18 Only the brown outside surfaces of bagels should be
toasted, the soft inner surfaces shouldn’t be browned.
19 Split your bagel, and put the two halves into the slots with
the brown outsides facing the centre elements.
20 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, lower the
bread carriage handle, then press the
b
button. This heats only
the centre elements
21 The
b
and
5
lights will glow, the brown outsides of the bagel
will be toasted, and the cut sides will be warmed.
frozen bread
f
22 This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
23 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the bread carriage handle, then press the
f
button.
24 The
f
and
5
lights will glow, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to
give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
caution
don’t try to defrost bread – you’ll probably wreck the toaster
a) toasting frozen bread changes ice to steam, which escapes via the toasting slots
b) defrosting bread on a low setting changes ice to water, which drips into the
toaster, over the electronics and maybe the elements, causing mayhem
