ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UK ONLY
A) If your appliance comes tted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not t your socket, the plug should
be cut o from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug tted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut o plug
after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type,
the fuse cover must be re-tted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing
the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.The
colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not tted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

USE
Before using for the rst time
- Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the
toaster.
- As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a
slight burning or‘new’ smell when it is rst switched on. This
is normal and not a cause for concern.
- To eliminate the ‘new’ smell at the rst use, operate the
toaster on a medium setting without any bread inside. Ensure
the room is well ventilated during this operation.
To use your toaster
- Make sure than the ON levers (B) are at the rest position.
Click turn the toasting level dial (D) to the required level (from
1 - 6).
- Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.
- Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots (A) and
lower the lever (B) until it is all the way down.
Please note: If the appliance is not connected to the
electrical outlet, the lever (B) will not stay down.

- When the toasting is nished, the lever returns to the rest
position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.
- If the bread is not suciently toasted, select a darker degree
of toasting by turning the browning control dial (D).
- The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the
Stop/Cancel button (I).
Never lift the lever (B) to cancel toasting.
Danger of burns!! the bread toasting slots become very
hot during operation. Do not touch.
Defrost function
Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the Defrost
button (F) immediately after lowering the lever (B); the toasting
cycle will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired browning.
The defrost indicator light will remain lit while the defrost function
is in use.
Reheat function
To warm toast that has popped up but gone cold, lower the lever
(B) again and then press the ‘Reheat’ button (G). Please note that
this is xed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the browning
control.
The reheat function can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
Stop/Cancel button (I). The reheat indicator light will remain lit
while the reheat function is in use.
Bagel function
The ‘Bagel’ function allows for the toasting of bread, bagels
and muns etc on one side only (internal side), while the other
(external side) remains warm. Bagels and muns must be sliced
in half before toasting. Press down on the lever (B) and then press
the‘Bagel’button (H).The bagel indicator light will remain lit while
the bagel function is in use.
Bun warmer (L) (certain models)
You can use the bun warmer to warm foods such as: croissants or
previously toasted food.
Proceed as follows:
- Place the bun warmer over the toasting slots as shown in the
gure.
- Rest the food to be warmed on the bun warmer.
- Turn the toasting level dial (D) to the required level (1-6).
- Lower the ON lever (B).
- If the food is not warm enough, next time use a higher
toasting level.
Suggestions for use
- Select a lower setting for light browning, for toasting one slice
only or for dry bread.
- When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a
variation in toast colour from one side to the other – this is
normal.
- Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread, and
thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced
bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower
setting than usual.
- For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even
thickness, freshness and size.
- In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend that
you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so
that the heating control can reset. Alternatively select a lower
setting when additional toasting is carried out.
Precautions
- Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no
bread inside) except on rst use.
- Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.
- Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking
process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more
dicult, these may cause res.
- Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.
- Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.
- Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order to
remove bread. As well as damaging the toaster, there is a high
risk of electric shock.
- Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the
plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it
is safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
- The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the
surface.
- USE ONLY WATER FOR CLEANING.
- DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
- After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and
empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance.
Danger! DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER
WITH SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE
BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
