FEATURES OF TOASTER
1. Toasting Slots.
2. Frozen Button.
3. Reheat Button.
4. Cancel Button.
5. Electronic variable browning control.
6. Carriage Lever.
7. Crumb Tray.

HOW TO USE
1. Plug into an earthed power socket.
For the first use, it is recommended that the toaster be operated without bread to burn off the dust
accumulated on the new element that will disperse giving off an unpleasant smell; when doing this it is
recommended that the browning control be set to the medium setting.
2. Place bread into slots - use slices of equal size, thickness and freshness. Avoid torn and broken slices
that may get lodged in the toasting wells.
3. Set browning control to suit the required degree of brownness, from No.1 to No. 7 on the browning
control knob. (No.1- lightest, No.7 darkest). Different breads will require different settings. The higher
the number (1-7) the longer the toasting cycle and the darker the toast colour.
4. Press the carriage handle down fully to the latched position.
NOTE: The carriage will not latch down unless the power is switched ON.
5. When the toasting cycle is complete, the carriage will rise and the toaster will switch off.
NOTE: The toasting cycle can be interrupted at any time by depressing the Cancel button adjacent to
the browning control knob.
REHEAT BUTTON
The Reheat function is designed to reheat already toasted bread only and will not brown the bread further.
1. Insert the toast to be reheated into the bread slots.
2. Press the Carriage lever down and at the same time press the Reheat button.
3. When the reheat cycle is complete, the carriage will rise and the toaster will switch off. To terminate
the cycle before it is completed, simply press the Cancel button
FROZEN BUTTON
The Defrost function is designed to firstly defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle
slightly.
1. Insert the bread into the bread slots.
2. Turn the Browning control to the desired position
3. Press the Carriage lever down until it locks into position and at the same time press the Defrost button
to select the defrost function.
4. When the toasting cycle is complete, the carriage will rise and the toaster will switch off. To terminate
the cycle before it is completed, simply press the Cancel button.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the bread or crumpet becomes jammed, switch the toaster off at the
power outlet, remove the plug from the supply socket and carefully ease the bread out of the toaster,
ensuring that you do not damage the element.
TOASTING NOTES
•Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread; moisture levels differ between breads,
which can result in varying toasting times. Experience will determine the correct settings for toasting
the various types of bread to be toasted.
•For slightly dry bread use a lower setting than normal.
•For fresh or whole wheat bread use a higher setting than normal.
•Breads with an uneven surface (such as muffins or crumpets) will require a higher setting.
•Thick cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will require longer toasting time, sometimes significantly
longer, since more moisture must be evaporated before bread toasting can occur.

•Very thick slices may require two cycles.
•When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose fruit from the surface of the bread before
placing in the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guard
wire in the slot. Fruits stuck inside the toaster or left in the crumb tray are a common cause of toaster
fires.
•Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
•Single slice toasting; if you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning control lighter than
normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By reducing the
toasting cycle for a single slice it will not be over toasted.
•Frozen breads; Frozen breads should be toasted using the Defrost cycle.
•Pastries; Exercise caution when toasting pastries. The filling can become quite hot long before the
surface of the pastry becomes brown.
CLEANING AND STORING
Before attempting any cleaning operation, make sure that the toaster is unplugged from the power supply
and has fully cooled down.
1. Breadcrumbs will collect in the base of the toaster. To remove them, slide the crumb tray from the base
of the toaster. Clean out the crumbs and slide the crumb tray back into the toaster. NEVER
OPERATE THE TOASTER WITHOUT THE CRUMB TRAY IN POSITION.
2. To remove lodged bread, turn the toaster upside down and shake.
NEVER INSERT ANY METAL UTENSIL OR TOOL INTO TOASTING SLOTS. IT IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY DAMAGE WORKING PARTS OF THE TOASTER.
3. To clean the external surfaces, simply wipe over with a clean, soft damp cloth. Should it be necessary,
greasy marks may be removed using mild soap and a cloth dampened with hot water. Avoid all other
types of detergents, cleaners or solvents that might contain chemicals that could damage parts of the
toaster. Thoroughly dry all parts before storing.
ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD THE TOASTER BE IMMERSED IN ANY LIQUID.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
1. Always check full toaster operation as detailed above before returning any unit as faulty.
2. Do not operate the toaster with a damaged cord or plug, or after the unit malfunctions or is damaged in
any way. Return the complete toaster to the place of purchase for in-warranty replacement, or
inspection and repair.
3. This toaster contains no internal user serviceable parts.
4. In some products, the replacement of the power cord by the user is not intended. Special tools are
required to replace the cord. Return the complete toaster to the place of purchase for in-warranty
