BEFORE FIRST USE
Never force bread into the toasting
slots. Bread should t easily into the
toasting slots. Never toast slices of
bread that have been buttered. Take
extra care when toasting items that
contain sugar, jam or preserves, as
there is a risk of the ingredients leaking
into the toaster, causing overheating.
Don’t use bent, damaged or broken
bread in your toaster as it may cause it
to jam.
Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove
all packaging from inside the toasting slots.
Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and
level work surface away from the edge. Bread may
burn therefore do not use the appliance near or
below combustible materials such as curtains. Never
use the toaster below wall cupboards or shelves.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure
your mains supply voltage is the same as the one
indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a
suitable power outlet and make sure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
When you rst use your toaster, there may be a
slight odour as the heating elements warm up for the
rst time. This is quite normal and not a cause for
concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your
toaster for the rst time without any bread in it.
BROWNING CONTROL
The browning control regulates how much the bread
is toasted—in other words, the colour of the toast.
Lower settings produce lighter toast and higher
settings produce darker toast.
When setting the browning control, remember that
dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and
require a lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread
will require a higher setting.
LIFT & LOOK™
The progress of the toast can be checked at any
time by lifting up the loading handle. This can be
done without interrupting the toasting cycle.
CANCEL BUTTON
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by
pressing the cancel button.
HIGH LIFT FEATURE
The high lift feature uses the loading handle to help
you to remove the toast. When toasting has nished,
simply lift the loading handle upwards from its rest
position to raise the toast and make it easier to
remove.
GLUTEN FREE FUNCTION
The gluten-free function offers a longer, slower
toast that’s suited to denser gluten-free bread. This
function can be used in conjunction with any of the
bread select functions and browning control. Select
this function after you have selected the bread type
and altered the browning control.
BREAD SELECT FUNCTION
The bread select function adjusts the toasting time
for the type of bread selected. The bread select
function has 6 settings - White, Brown, Grain, Fruit,
Bagel and Crumpet. Select the bread inserted
into the toasting slot and the toaster will adjust the
toasting time accordingly for each type of bread, to
the set browning level. The bread select function can
be used in conjunction with the gluten free function
and the browning control. After each use the toaster
will be automatically set at the last function that was
used. If the power is switched off the toaster will
default to white bread.
TIME INDICATOR
The countdown timer on the toaster will indicate the
time left until your bread reaches the desired level of
browning. The length of time it takes for the bread to
toast will vary depending on the selected bread type
and browning control settings.
NOTE: If the selected bread function or browning
level is changed during toasting, the lights and timer
will automatically adjust themselves.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Place the bread into the toasting slots. You can
use any or all slots. Press the loading handle
down until it latches. The bread will be lowered
into the toaster and toasting will begin. The
loading handle will not latch if your toaster is not
connected to the mains supply.
2. Set the level of toasting by selecting the correct
bread on the bread select function in conjunction
with the browning control, and gluten free button
if required. The higher the number selected on
the browning control, the darker the toast will be.
3. If after toasting the toast is not done enough it
can be toasted again. Repeat the operation but
turn the browning control to a lower setting and
watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
4. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing
the cancel button.
TOASTING TIPS
• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking
the bread and, because moisture levels differ
from one bread to another, toasting times can
vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower browning
control setting than normal.
• For fresh bread use a higher browning control
setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including crumpets)
will take longer to toast—sometimes signicantly
longer. This is because more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting can
occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require
two toasting cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins or fruit from the
surface of the bread before putting it into your
toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from
falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard
wires in the toasting slot.
SINGLE SLICE TOASTING
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the
browning control to a lower setting than normal. By
using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of
bread, it will not be over toasted.
IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS
Never use a knife or any other
utensil or implement to remove jammed
bread. Never insert your ngers into the
bread slots.
1. Switch the toaster off at the mains supply socket
and unplug it.
2. Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
3. Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being
careful not to damage the heating element.
CLEANING
Always switch off, unplug and allow
the toaster to cool down before moving,
cleaning or storing. Never immerse the
toaster or power cord and plug in water
or any other liquid.
• Clean the outside of your toaster with a damp
cloth then dry thoroughly.
• Never use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners.
CRUMB REMOVAL
It is important that crumbs are not
allowed to build up inside your toaster.
Excess crumbs are unhygienic and
could catch re.
Crumbs can be removed by sliding the crumb tray
out from the bottom of your toaster. You can then tip
the crumbs out. Always make sure that your toaster
has completely cooled down and is disconnected
from the mains supply before removing crumbs.
Never use your toaster without the crumb tray tted.
Always replace the crumb tray before using your
toaster.
