TOASTING BREAD
To prevent jamming do not use your toaster with torn
slices of bread. Make sure the size and thickness of the
slices of bread t easily into the toast slots. Always
watch your toaster when in use. Never leave your
toaster unattended.
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.
4. Lower the toasting lever down vertically until it
is positioned in place. The toaster will begin at
once.
Tips: a) Only when the toaster is connected to
the mains power, can the toasting lever
be locked in the downward postion.
b) During the toasting process, you may
observe the toasting colour.
Press the CANCEL button to cancel the
operation at any time if you are satised
with the colour.
5. Once the bread has been toasted to the preset
browning level, the toasting lever will be
automatically pop up.
Reheat
Insert the cold slices of toast and lower the toasting lever
till it remains in a downward position. Press the REHEAT
button and the indicator will illuminate. In this mode,
setting the browning control will have no eect as the
toasting time is xed. When the time runs out, the
toasting lever will automatically spring up and nish the
reheating process.
Defrost
Insert the frozen bread. Set the browning control to your
desired colour. Lower the toasting lever down until it
remains in a downward position, then press DEFROST
button and the indicator will illuminate. In this mode, the
frozen bread will be toasted to your desired colour.
Cancel
If the toaster starts to smoke, press CANCEL button to
stop toasting immediately. Remove all protective
wrapping prior to putting the bread into the toaster.
Avoid toasting the food with extremely runny
ingredients such as butter. The bread slot is only
applicable for toasting regular bread slices. Do not toast
irregular sized bread.
OTHER FUNCTIONS

2. Allow the toaster to fully cool down.
3. Push and hold the toasting lever down then release.
4. Gently dislodge the blockage with a non-metallic object, for example the handle
of a wooden spoon.
5. Lift the toasting lever to remove the blockage.
HOW TO CLEAR A PIECE OF BLOCKED BREAD
Remove the mains plug from the mains socket and allow the toaster to cool down
before cleaning.
Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents as they may damage the casing.
The body of the toaster should be cleaned using a cloth dampened with warm
water and detergent. Make sure you do not allow water to seep into the controls or
heating elements.
When not in use, the mains cable may be wound under the bottom of the toaster.

2. Put 1 or 2 slices of bread into the bread slots.
Tips: a) If toasting two slices, they should be similar in size, thickness and
freshness.
b) For optimum browning, always place the bread as close as possible to
the centre of the slots.
c) Make sure the crumb tray is completely inserted before use.
3. Select the level of browning by turning the Browning Control.
There are 7-setting levels:
Tips: a) Select a lower position (i.e. 1 or 2) for light browning, especially for
toasting only one slice or for dry (old) bread. Note that the toasting
colour for one slice will be darker than that for two slices at the same
level.
b)If you have initially toasted some bread, the toaster elements will be hot,
so when you put some more bread into the toaster it may become brown
faster than the rst slices that were toasted, even if the Browning Control
is set to the same level.
