5. Operating Instructions

1. With the warming rack securely in place, plug in your Dualit toaster.
2. Place the items you wish to warm (e.g., croissants, buns, pittas) directly onto the rack. Do not overload the rack.
3. Select a low to medium setting on your toaster's browning control. The warming rack utilizes the heat rising from the toaster elements to gently warm items.
4. Activate the toaster. Monitor the warming process closely to prevent burning.
5. Once warmed to your preference, switch off and unplug the toaster. Carefully remove the warmed items using tongs or oven mitts.
6. Allow the warming rack to cool completely before removing it from the toaster or cleaning.

• Wipe the rack with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• For stubborn food residues, a non-abrasive brush or sponge can be used.
