toasted is the correct size
for the toaster and does
not protrude above the
bread slice opening.
Ensure the bread is not
too thick or long that it
will jam or wedge the
bread carriage.
•Never cover the toaster
whilst it is plugged into
the power outlet or while

crumbs to accumulate in
the bottom of the toaster.
Failure to clean the crumb
tray regularly may result
in a fire hazard.

Functions
Before first use, remove any packaging material
or promotional labels attached to your toaster.
1. Insert the power plug into a 220-240 volt
power outlet and then turn the power on.
NOTE
When using the toaster for the first time,
we suggest toasting on the maximum
setting without bread. The toaster may emit
a thin smoke or distinct odour on initial use.
This is normal and not detrimental to the
performance of the toaster.
2. For the Bit More™ Plus 2 slide place only
1 slice of bread or crumpet or half an
English muffin or bagel into each of the
toasting slots. Ensure the bread halves are
not too large or thick to fit the slots.
If less than 2 slices are inserted, the usual
browning setting needs to be reduced to
avoid the toast burning.
For the Bit More™ Plus 4 slice place
2 slices of bread or crumpets or 2 halves
of an English muffin or bagel into each of
the toasting slots. Ensure the bread halves
are not too large or thick to fit the slots.
If less than 4 slices are inserted, the usual
browning setting needs to be reduced
to avoid the toast burning. If toasting 2
slices of bread in the 4 slice toaster, we
recommend placing the bread as per the
illustration below for optimal toasting
results.
3. Select the desired browning setting using
the browning control dial. Colour settings
range from ‘1’ lightest to ‘6’ darkest.
NOTE
When using the toaster for the first time, we
suggest toasting the bread on setting 3 or 4.
Varying types of bread and personal
preference may require a different browning
setting, for example, raisin toast and white
light-textured breads may require a lower
setting, whilst heavier textured rye breads
may require a darker setting.
4. Press the high lift lever down until it
locks into position. The toasting cycle will
automatically commence.
NOTE
If the toaster is not plugged in and switched
on at the power outlet, the high lift lever will
not lock into position.
5. The toaster stops toasting when it has
reached the end of the selected browning
setting. The toast will automatically rise
from the slots. The toasting process can
be stopped at any time by pressing the
CANCEL button.
WARNING
Do not leave unattended when in use as toast
may jam or wedge in the bread carriage.
Never attempt to extract toast, crumpets or
muffins or any other item that has jammed
or wedged in the toaster with a knife or any
other object, as contact with live elements may
not only damage the elements, but can cause
electrocution.

9
‘LIFT & LOOK’™ FEATURE
This feature can be used to check on the
progress of the toasting cycle without
interrupting it. Simply raise the lever to check
on the browning progress of the toast and
lower it down again if you wish to continue to
toast.
HIGH LIFT LEVER
To remove smaller items such as crumpets and
muffins, lift the high lift lever approximately
2cm above the starting position. In the unlikely
event that the bread, crumpet or muffins
become jammed, switch the power off at the
power outlet. Remove the power plug from the
power outlet and then use the high lift lever
to carefully ease the bread out of the toaster,
ensuring that you do not damage the
self-centring slots or the elements.
‘A BIT MORE’™ SETTING
For Extra Toasting & Reheating
Use this feature after the toasting cycle if your
toast requires a bit more toasting or needs
reheating. Once the toast has popped up after
the initial toasting selection has completed,
lower the HIGH LIFT lever back down and
then press the A BIT MORE™ button.
NOTE
The ‘A Bit More’™ setting is to bypass
the normal toasting cycle and toast for
approximately 30 seconds.
FROZEN/FRUIT BREAD SETTING
Toasting Frozen Bread
To toast frozen bread, place the bread into the
toasting slots, select the browning setting you
would normally select if the bread was fresh,
lower the ‘high lift’ lever until it locks into
position and then press the FROZEN/FRUIT
BREAD button once. The button will illuminate
red and cooking time of your selection will be
automatically extended.
To toast fruit bread:
1. Place the fruit loaf into the toasting slots.
2. To start the toasting process, press down
the lever until it locks into place.
3. To select the FRUIT LOAF setting, press the
FROZEN/FRUIT BREAD button twice and
the button will illuminate blue.
4. Select the desired setting by adjusting the
BROWNING CONTROL Dial.
5. The browning settings range from
'1' (lightest) to '6' (darkest).
6. Once the toasting cycle has finished and
the carriage has risen and locked into the
raised position, the toast ready. Remove the
fruit loaf.
NOTE
The ‘A Bit More’™ in Fruit Bread setting is to
toast for approximately 15 seconds.
CANCEL BUTTON
To Stop Toasting
The toasting and defrosting cycles can
be cancelled at any time by pressing the
cancel button. The toaster will turn off and
automatically raise the toast.

Care & Cleaning
1. Switch the toaster off at the power outlet
and then remove the power plug from
the power outlet. Allow the toaster to cool
completely before cleaning.
2. To clean any crumbs from the toaster,
remove the crumb tray (located under the
control panel at the front of the toaster) by
pulling it outwards. Empty and replace the
crumb tray before using the toaster again.
Replace the crumb tray by sliding it inwards
until it locks into position.
3. To remove any additional crumbs, turn the
toaster upside down over a bin and shake
crumbs free.
4. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a
slightly dampened soft cloth and then dry it
with a soft dry cloth to dry completely.
NOTE
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical parts
creating an electric shock hazard.
STORAGE
Switch toaster off at the power outlet and
remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Allow the toaster to cool completely before
storing. Follow the directions for cleaning and
store in an upright position on a flat surface on
a bench top or in an accessible cupboard.
Do not store anything on top of the toaster.
WARNING
Do not use the toaster without the slide-out
crumb tray in position. Do not allow crumbs to
build up in the crumb tray. Failure to clean the
crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard.
