controls
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.
Cancel button
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
Lift-and-look feature
The lift-and-look feature allows you to check the progress of the toast without cancelling
the toasting process. Just lift the loading handle up at any time during toasting and lower
it again to resume toasting. If you nd your toast is cooked to your preference, press the
cancel button to stop further toasting.
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.
Frozen bread function
The frozen bread function allows you to toast bread straight from the freezer. Insert the
bread into your toaster, press the loading handle down and then press the frozen bread
button. Your toaster will extend the toasting time to allow the bread time to defrost. Keep
a careful eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
Reheat function
The reheat function will heat up toast that has cooled or gone cold. Press the loading
handle down then press the reheat button. Keep a careful eye on the toast to ensure that
it doesn’t burn. Don’t use the reheat function on buttered toast.

5
before using your toaster
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.

6
using your toaster
Never force bread into the toasting slots. Bread should t easily into the
toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered. Never use your
toaster with any food item that contains sugar, or any product that contains jam
or preserves. Don’t use bent, damaged or broken bread in your toaster as it may
cause it to jam.
Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected,
the darker the toast will be.
Place the bread into the toasting slots. You can toast one or two slices of bread but
only place a single slice in each slot. 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,
and may not latch if the browning control is set to its minimum or lowest setting.
Don’t forget, you can use the lift-and-look feature during toasting to check your toast.
Simply lift the loading handle up to examine your toast and lower it again to resume
toasting. If you nd your toast is cooked to your preference, press the cancel button
to stop further toasting.
When toasting has nished, the loading handle will rise and the toasted bread can be
removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you
remove the toast.
If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the browning control to a
lower setting and keep a careful eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
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 setting than normal.
For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher 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.
Switch the toaster off at the mains supply socket and unplug it.
Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being careful not to damage the heating
element.

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.
