Safety During Use
To protect against fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not
immerse cord, plug or the toaster in water or other liquids.
Do not place metallic packaging, paper, cardboard, plastic or any
utensils in the toaster as they may cause a risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not cover crumb trays or any part of the toaster with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the toaster.
Never put your hands inside the toaster.
To avoid injury or possible fire, do not cover the appliance when in
use.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into a
mains socket.
Always ensure that your hands are dry before removing the plug from
the mains socket.
WARNING: To avoid possibility of fire, do not leave the toaster
unattended during use.
If the carriage control lever becomes jammed during the toasting
cycle, do not try to release it. Switch off the power at the mains (if
appropriate), unplug the toaster and leave it to cool down before
carefully removing the bread. Do not use a knife, fork or other sharp
implement as this may damage the element.
Do not toast ‘buttered’ items or try to make toasted sandwiches in the
toaster, as this will create a fire hazard.
Do not use very thin, torn or curled up slices of bread as these could
jam the eject mechanism.
Only use the toaster with the crumb tray in place.
Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.

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.
Before first use, we recommend that you set the browning level to 6 on both pairs of
toasting slots 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.
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 and the toasting lever is in the up
position.
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 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.
Ensure the LED light (this will not be illuminated at present) is pointing towards the
setting you desire (see fig 1. below)

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.
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.
The LED light on the control dial(s) will illuminate. Ensure the blue light is pointing
towards the setting you desire.
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 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 blue light on the button 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.
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 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 blue light on the button 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.

10
E Bagel Setting
The Bagel setting 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.
Slice your bagel into 2 equal halves. Place each half into 2 of the slots with the cut
sides facing each other. There is a bagel symbol on the top face of the toaster to
illustrate which way the bagels should be inserted (see fig.2 below).
Select the browning level using the control dial.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the ‘Bagel’ button(s). The blue light on the button 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).

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 two removable crumb trays 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.

12
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. Always apply any cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the toaster.
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.
