B eville ecommends safety fi st
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any
electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:
Impo tant safegua ds fo you B eville St atus Toaste
•Carefully read all instructions before operating and
save for future reference.
•Do not place the toaster near the edge of a bench
or table during operation. Ensure the surface is
level, clean and free of water.
•Remove any promotional stickers or packaging
material before using the toaster for the first time.
•Do not place the toaster on, or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or where it could touch a heated
oven. Keep appliance clear of walls and other heat
sensitive materials such as cloths and curtains.
Minimum 200mm distance.
•Bread may burn, therefore this toaster must not be
used near or below curtains or other combustible
material and it must be supervised at all times
when in use.
•Ensure that bread to be 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 in the
toasting slots.
•ever cover the appliance whilst it is plugged into
the power outlet or while hot.
•Do not place cold toast on top of toasting slots to
warm toast as this may prevent correct air
circulation and damage the appliance.
•Do not use on metal surfaces, for example, a sink
drain board.
•Do not use on an inclined surface.
•To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord, plug or toaster in water or any other liquid.
•Do not move the toaster whilst in operation or
when hot.
•Do not touch hot surfaces. Use side areas for lifting
and carrying the toaster.
•Do not leave the toaster unattended when toasting.
•Always turn the power off at the power outlet
and then remove the plug from the power outlet
before attempting to move the appliance, when
the appliance is not in use and before cleaning
or storing.
•Do not attempt to extract toast, crumpets or any
other item from the toasting slots with a knife or
any other object as contact with live elements may
damage the elements and cause electrocution
and/or fire.
•Do not allow breadcrumbs to accumulate in the
bottom of the toaster.
•Keep the appliance clean. Follow the cleaning
instructions provided in this book.

•Unwind the cord fully before use.
•Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table
or counter, touch hot surfaces or become knotted.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance. Do not leave
the appliance where children can touch hot surfaces.
•It is recommended to regularly inspect the

way. Return the entire appliance to the nearest
authorised Breville Service Centre for examination
and/or repair.

intended use. Do not use in moving vehicles or
boats. Do not use outdoors.
•The installation of a residual current device
(safety switch) is recommended to provide

electrical appliances. It is advisable that a
safety switch with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the
electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See
your electrician for professional advice.

and will not lock down into the toast position
until the toaster is plugged into a 230/240 volt
power point and switched on.

Before first use, remove any promotional stickers
or packaging material attached to your toaster.
1. Insert the power plug into a 230/240 volt power
outlet and then turn the power on.
2. Place 2 slices of bread or 2 crumpets or halves of
an English muffin or bagel only into each of the
toasting slots. Ensure the bread slices, crumpets
or muffin/bagel halves are not too large or too
thick to fit in the toasting slots.
3. Select the desired browning setting using the
browning control dial.
When using the toaster for the first time, it is
suggested to use the medium browning setting.
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 lighter setting, whilst
heavier textured rye breads may require a
darker setting.
That’s the idea™
4. Press the high lift lever down until it locks into
position. The toasting cycle will
automatically commence.
If the toaster is not plugged in and switched
on at the power outlet, the high lift lever
will not lock into position.
Note
5. The toaster turns off when the desired toast
colour is achieved and automatically raises the
toast. The toasting process can be stopped at any
time by pressing the CA CEL button located on
the front of the toaster.

Ca e and cleaning
The crumb tray should be cleaned out regularly. Do
not allow breadcrumbs to accumulate in the bottom
of the toaster.
1. Always switch the power off at the power outlet
and then remove the plug from the outlet before
cleaning the toaster.
2. To remove crumbs from the toaster, slide
out the crumb tray from under the toaster,
empty and replace the crumb tray before using
the toaster again.
3. To clean 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 cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Sto age
Always switch off at the power outlet, then remove
the plug from the outlet and allow to cool completely
before storing. Follow the directions for cleaning and
store in an upright position on a flat surface on your
bench top or in an accessible cupboard. Do not store
anything on top of the toaster.

High lift leve
To remove smaller items, such as muffins, lift
the high lift lever approximately 20mm above
the starting position.
In the unlikely event that bread or crumpets become
jammed, switch the toaster off at the power outlet.
Remove the power plug from the power outlet and
allow the toaster to cool completely before using the
high lift lever to carefully ease the bread out of the
toaster. Take care not to damage the self centring
slots or the elements.
Def ost button
(toasting f ozen b ead)
To toast frozen bread, place the bread into the
toasting slots, select the desired browning setting,
lower the high lift lever until it locks into position,
then press the Defrost button on the control panel,
this will extend cooking time.
The toaster will revert back to the selected toast
setting after the Defrost (toasting frozen bread)
selection has finished.
Note
C umpet button
(toasting c umpets)
This function adjusts the heating elements to
perfectly toast crumpets without over browning the
bottom. To toast crumpets, place crumpets into
toasting slots with the tops facing inward, toward the
middle of the toaster. Select the desired browning
setting, lower the high lift lever until it locks into
position, and press the Crumpet button on the
control panel.
This setting when activated adjusts the heating
elements to produce additional heat to the centre
elements to cook the top of the crumpets faster than
the bottom.
Crumpets must always face inward towards the
middle of the toaster. The toaster will revert
back to the selected toast setting after the
crumpet selection has finished.
Note
Cancel button
(to stop toasting)
The toasting, defrosting and crumpet cycles can
be cancelled at any time by pressing the cancel
button. The toaster will turn off and automatically
raise the toast.
