appliance from the mains power supply, allow the appliance to cool and

Instructions For Use
Before First Use
Remove all packaging from the product and unwind the power cord.
Check that the crumb tray is in place.
Check that the toaster slots are empty.
Plug the power cord into the mains socket and switch on.
Before first use, we recommend that you set the browning level to 6 using
the control dial and operate the toaster without any bread to burn off any
dust from the new elements. There may be a distinctive smell – this is quite
normal.
Toasting
Your toaster has been specially designed with an extra wide, extra deep
toasting carriage to accommodate and evenly toast most types of breads.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever
is in the up position.
On the 4 slice toasters the pairs of toasting slots are independently
controlled, so you can select different browning settings for each pair of
slots.
1. Select the browning level using the control dial (1 is the lightest and
6 is the darkest setting). You can select a position part way between the
settings for total control.
NB. Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread,
therefore differences in moisture levels from one bread to another
can lead to varying toasting results.
2. Insert slice(s) of bread.
NB. Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely
between the guides.
3. Press the toasting lever(s) down until it locks into position. It will only
lock into position if the toaster is connected to the mains socket.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
The lever can be raised further to allow you to remove smaller breads e.g.
bagels, crumpets more easily.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it has finished, simply press the ‘Cancel’
button(s).
4. After use, unplug the toaster from the mains socket.

10
Defrost Setting
The Defrost setting is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread in
one automatic cycle.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever
is in the up position.
Select the browning level using the control dial.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the ‘Defrost’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
Reheat Setting
The reheat setting allows you to reheat your toast without further browning
or toasting.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever
is in the up position.
Insert slice(s) of toast. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
Press the lever down until it locks into position. It is not necessary to adjust
the browning control.
Press the ‘Reheat’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
The Reheat cycle lasts approximately 30 seconds. When the cycle is
complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
Bagel Setting
The Bagel setting adds extra time to the toasting cycle to accommodate
the thickness of bagels, rolls, muffins and thicker breads.
Slice your bagel into 2 equal halves. Place each half into one of the slots.
Select the browning level using the control dial.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the ‘Bagel’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
NB. If you wish to defrost bagels, ensure the defrost button is also pressed.
This will extend the toasting cycle further.
NB. If you wish to reheat bagels, ensure the bagel button is pressed first,
followed by the reheat button.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bagel(s).
