Instructions for Use
A Before First Use
Remove all packaging from the product and unwind the power cord.
Check that the crumb trays are in place (see section G Crumb Trays for more details)
Check that the toaster slots are empty.
Plug the power cord into the mains socket and switch on. An audible beep will sound
to show that the power is on, the LCD screens will illuminate and the browning level
will be displayed on the LCD screens.
Before first use, we recommend that you set the browning level to 7 on both pairs of
toasting slots using the +/- buttons and operate the toaster without any bread to
burn off any dust from the new elements. This may produce a distinctive smell – this
is quite normal.
B 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.
Ensure the toasting lever is in the up position.
The browning level will be displayed on the LCD screen. Both pairs of toasting slots are
independently controlled, so you can select different browning settings for each pair
of slots.
Select the browning level using the +/- buttons:
Setting Colour Approximate time
1-2 Light 1-2 mins
3-5 Medium 2-3 mins
6-7 Dark 3-4 mins
NB. Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread, therefore differences
in moisture levels from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.
Insert slice(s) of bread.
NB. Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the
guides.
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.

10
The LCD display(s) will illuminate. It will display your selected browning setting, and the
bars below act as a visual countdown from right to left to indicate the toasting time
remaining.
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).
After use, unplug the toaster from the mains socket.
C 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.
Ensure the toasting lever is in the up position.
Select the browning level using the +/- buttons. When defrosting, you should select
level 6 or 7.
Press the ‘Defrost’ button(s). The blue light indicates the feature is activated.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
D 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.
Ensure the toasting lever is in the up position.
Insert slice(s) of toast. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
Press the ‘Reheat’ button(s). The blue light indicates the feature is activated. It is not
necessary to adjust the browning control.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
The Reheat cycle lasts approximately 30 seconds. When the cycle is complete, the
toaster will automatically raise the bread.

11
E Bagel Setting
The Bagel feature toasts one side of the bread and warms the other, ideal for bagels. It also
adds extra time to the toasting cycle to accommodate the thickness of bagels.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket.
Ensure the toasting lever is in the up position.
Slice your bagel into 2 equal halves. Place each half into 2 of the slots with the cut
sides facing away from each. There is a bagel symbol on the top face of the toaster to
illustrate which way the bagels should be inserted.
Select the browning level using the +/- buttons. Because of the thickness of bagels,
you should select level 6 or 7.
Press the ‘Bagel’ button(s). The blue light surrounding the button indicates the
feature is activated.
N.B. If you wish to defrost bagels, ensure the defrost button(s) is also pressed. This
will extend the toasting cycle further.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bagel(s).

F Toasting - Hints &Tips
For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
For very fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
Breads with very uneven surfaces will require a higher toast setting.
Thick cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes
significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before
toasting can begin. Very thick pieces may even require 2 cycles.
Sweet bread products e.g. tea cakes, fruit loaf etc. brown more quickly than ordinary
bread, so it is best to use a lower setting.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins etc. from the
surface of the bread before toasting. This will help to prevent fruit pieces from falling
into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot.
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning setting at a lower level
than normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber, so by
lowering the heat for a single slice, you will not over toast.
It is possible to use the toaster for toaster pastries. You should only use pastries
which are specifically designed for use with a toaster, and you should always follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the pastry. Take extra care when
toasting pastries. The filling can become very hot long before the surface of the
pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or
warming.
G Crumb Trays
The toaster is equipped with 2 removable crumb tray to collect crumbs during toasting.
We recommend that the crumb trays are removed and emptied on a regular basis.
To empty, locate the trays which are fitted in the base of the toaster. They can be
accessed from the rear of the toaster.
Pull the black cover on each tray, and the tray(s) will slide out, discard the crumbs
and replace by sliding back into position. Never operate the toaster without the
crumb tray in place.

13
Cleaning &Maintenance
Always disconnect the toaster from the mains immediately after use and allow to cool
completely before cleaning.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or place in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down
and gently shake.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster.
IMPORTANT:
Never insert any hard, sharp or metal instruments into the slots as this could damage
the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
