BEFORE USING YOUR TOASTER
As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight
burning smell when it is first switched on. This is normal and not a
cause for concern. Set the browning knob at maximum setting and
activate the toaster without bread for two times. This will reduce
the unpleasant smells when toasting bread.
USING YOUR TOASTER
 Select the desired browning setting on the browning control
knob. (Lowest number = lightest, Highest number = darkest).
When using the toaster for the first time we suggest you toast
on number 3 to 4. Varying types of bread and personal
preference may require different browning setting.
 Lower the lever until it clicks into place. Toasting cycle will
automatically commence. ATTENTION: The loading lever will
NOT stay down unless the toaster is plugged in.
 The toast will pop up automatically. Pressing the cancel button
to stop toasting at any stage. (Never lift the lever to cancel
toasting.)
 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
heating element.
TOASTING FROZEN BREAD
 To toast frozen bread, set the browning control, insert the
bread, lower the loading lever down until it locks then press
the defrost Button.

5
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 ON USING YOUR TOASTER
 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.
 Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven
thickness.
 When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a
variation in toast colour from one side to the other - this is
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.
 In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend you wait
a minimum of 30-60 seconds between each toasting.
Alternatively turn the browning control to a lower setting
when additional toasting is carried out.

6
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.
 lean 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. rumbs can smoke and even burn.
 rumbs can be removed by simply sliding out the crumb tray
at the bottom of the toaster. You can then tip the crumbs out.
