shown on the underside of your toaster.
- This appliance conforms to EC directive 2004/108/EC on
Electromagnetic Compatibility and EC regulation no.
1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials intended for con-
tact with food.
Before using for the first time
1 Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips in the base 1.
- Operate the toaster once on a medium setting without
bread. (The lever will not stay down unless the toaster is
plugged in).
- As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a
slight burning smell when it is first switched on. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.
To use your toaster
1 Plug the toaster into the power supply.
2 Move the browning control to the desired setting. Use a
low setting
for light toasting and for thin or dry bread.
3 Insert the bread, muffins, bagels etc.
4 Lower the lever until it locks 2. The ‘cancel’ button will illu-
minate. (The lever will not stay down unless the toaster is
plugged in).

defrost position .

any time without cancelling the toasting cycle.
- To stop toasting during the cycle, press the ‘cancel’ button,
the toast will pop up and the ‘cancel’ button light will go
off.
5Your toast will pop up automatically, to raise it higher,
lift the lever.
Hints on using your toaster
- 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 color 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 you
wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so
that the control can automatically reset.
Alternatively, select a lower setting when additional toast-
ing is carried out.
Warming rack safety
1 Never set the browning control higher than 1 when using
the warming rack.
2 Never completely cover the warming rack.
3 When using the warming rack, never wrap the food up.
Plastic wrapping will melt and could catch fire. Foil will
reflect heat, damaging the toaster.
4 If you’re using the toaster slots, always remove the warm-
ing rack so it can’t burn you.
5 Always allow the warming rack to cool before removing
from the toaster. Never place a hot warming rack on a
work surface.
6 Never touch hot surfaces, especially the metal areas of the
warming rack.
To use the warming rack
1 Place the warming rack on top of toaster 3.
2 Put your food on top of the rack (slicing thick items in half
will speed up the warming process).
3 Set the browning control no higher than 1 .
4 Lower the lever.
5 At the completion of the warming cycle the toaster will
switch off automatically. Turn the items over and repeat
the operation. Watch to make sure they don’t burn.
6 To remove the warming rack, allow the toaster to cool and
unplug.
7 Lift off the warming rack.
Hints for the warming rack
- The warming rack can also be used as a toast rack, but
ensure it is cool before removing from the toaster.
Care and cleaning
1 Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
2 Slide out the crumb tray 4. Clean, then replace. Do this reg-
ularly: crumbs can smoke or even burn.
3 Wipe the outside of the toaster and the warming rack with
a damp cloth, then dry. Do not use abrasives.
