BEFORE USINGYOUR TOASTER
Before using your toaster for the first time, set the browning knob at
maximum setting and activate the toaster without bread for two times.
This will prevent the unpleasant smells when toasting bread.
USINGYOUR TOASTER
Select the desired browning setting, from No.1 to No.7 on the
browning control knob. (No.1-lightest, No.7-darkest).
When using the toaster for the first time we suggest you toast on
number 3. Varying types of bread and personal preference may
require different browning setting.
Press the loading lever down until it clicks into place. Toasting
cycle will automatically commence.
Please note: if the toaster is not plugged in and switched on at the
power point the loading lever will not click into place.
The toaster turns off when the desired toast color is achieved and
automatically raises the toast. The toasting process can be stopped
at any time by pressing the cancel button.
In the unlikely event that the bread or crumpet becomes jammed,
switch the toaster off at the power outlet, remove the plug from
the supply socket and carefully ease the bread out of the toaster,
ensuring that you do not damage the element.
TOASTING FROZEN BREAD
To toast frozen bread, place the bread into the bread slots and
select the desired browning setting. Press the loading lever down
until it clicks into place then press the Frozen Button.

REHEATING TOAST
The toaster allows you to reheat toast without additional toasting.
To reheat, place toast into bread slots, lower the loading lever
until it clicks into place and press the Reheat Button.
HINTS
If the toast is too dark, use a lower toast setting.
Dry bread will require a lower setting than normal.
Thick bread, fresh or whole wheat bread will require a higher
setting than normal.
Remove any loose fruit before toasting to prevent pieces falling
into the toaster or sticking to the heating element and cause
damage.
Never force bread into the toasting slot. Bread should fit freely
between the bread guards.
Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven
thickness.
CLEANING
Before cleaning ensure power is switched off at mains and plug
has been removed.
Wait until your toaster has cooled down completely before
cleaning.
Clean the outer surface with a soft damp cloth only.
It is important that crumbs are not allowed to build up inside the
base of the toaster.
Crumbs can be removed by simply sliding out the crumb tray at
the bottom of the toaster. You can then tip the crumbs out.
