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.
Move the browning control dial (D) to the desired
setting.
- 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 (M) (only some 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).

Care and cleaning
- 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.
