Using Your Toaster

Before first use: Before using your toaster for the first time, operate the toaster without bread. As with all new electric heating elements, your toaster will emit a 'new' smell when it is first switched on. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern.

Toasting Bread

1. Place the sliced bread into the Bread Slots (1). If toasting two slices, place them in the same Bread Slot, not one in each of the slots. If you put just one slice in either of the two Bread Slots, it may become over-browned due to the additional heat from the long elements; adjust the Browning Control (3) to a lower setting.
2. Adjust the Browning Control (3) to the desired setting.
3. Depress the Bread Carriage Lever (2). The toaster will begin toasting the bread.
4. When completed, the Bread Carriage Lever will automatically rise and lift the toast from the toaster.

Additional features

Cancel Button

If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press the Cancel Button (6).

Re-heat Button

If your toast has popped up and gone cold, the toaster offers a re-heat facility. To use, depress the Bread Carriage Lever (2), and press the Re-heat Button (5) immediately. The button will illuminate and the toaster will operate for a short period reheating the bread.

Frozen Button

To toast frozen bread, do not adjust the Browning Control (3) from your normal setting. Place the frozen bread in the Bread Slots (1), depress the Bread Carriage Lever (2) and press the Defrost Button (4). The button will illuminate and the toaster will operate for a longer period defrosting and toasting the bread.

Removing the Crumb Tray

WARNING: Crumbs will accumulate in the Crumb Tray (7) and could catch fire if not emptied regularly.

1. When the appliance has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the case lightly to dislodge any crumbs lodged in the Bread Slots (1).
2. Empty the Crumb Tray and replace.

Never operate the appliance without the Crumb Tray fitted.

Care and Cleaning

• Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
• The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the surface.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
• After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance.

DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DAMAGE TO THE TOASTER.

Hints and Tips

• In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting, so that the control can be automatically reset.
• If toasting one slice, or one slice in each slot, you may need to adjust the Browning Control (3) to a slightly lower setting. You will notice a variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice. The side facing the inner wall of the Bread Slot (1) will be darker in colour than the side facing the outer wall of the bread slot.
• When toasting two slices it is recommended they are of equal size and freshness. Also, put both slices in the same Bread Slot, not one in each of the slots. If you put just one slice in a Bread Slot, it may become over-browned due to the additional heat coming from the long elements.
• Stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh bread. Therefore, the Browning Control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
• All sorts of bread can be used as well as teacakes, small rolls etc. The length of Bread Slots (1) allow for longer types of bread such as artisan, pittas, small baguettes etc. Slices should not however be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the Bread Slots.
• If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed, disconnect your toaster at the socket, allow it to cool, then remove the bread.
• Allow the toaster to cool fully before putting away.
• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.
