Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance! In
addition we offer the following safety advice.
Location
• Always locate your toaster away from the
edge of the worktop.
• Ensure that the toaster is used on a firm,
flat, heat resistant surface.
• Ensure that sufficient space is left above
and around all sides of your toaster to
allow air to circulate.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use too close to
curtains, draperies, walls, cupboards and
other flammable materials.
•Do not use underneath cupboards.
•Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the toaster without straining the
connections. Reduce the length of the
excess lead by using the cord storage
facility.
• Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of the worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run across a cooker
or hot area which might damage the
cable.
Personal safety
• Do watch your toaster during use.
• WARNING: Do not touch the top of the
toaster or other hot parts during or
after use, use handles or knobs.
• WARNING: Do not insert oversize
foods, metal, foil packages or utensils
into the toaster.
• WARNING: Do not attempt to dislodge
food when the toaster is plugged in
and never insert cooking utensils into
the slots.
• IMPORTANT: Do not place bread or
other items on top of the slots as this
may damage the toaster and creates a
fire hazard.
Children
• Never allow a child to operate this
appliance
• Children are vulnerable in the kitchen
particularly when unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
• Teach children to be aware of dangers in
kitchen, warn them of the dangers of
reaching up to areas where they cannot
see properly or should not be reaching.
Other safety considerations
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner.
• Do not attempt repairs - the appliance
contains no user-serviceable parts. Call
our helpline for advice.
• Do not use accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas
electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Do not immerse cord, plug or toaster in
water or other liquid.
• Only use for intended purpose.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and
when cleaning.
• Do not move the appliance whilst hot.

Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING : The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed
as a plug with a bared flexible cord is
hazardous if engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

Before first use
• Before using the toaster for the first time
operate the toaster without bread. Note:
the bread carriage lever fi will not stay
down unless the toaster is plugged in and
the wall switch is on. Ventilate the room
during this period.
• As with all new electric heating elements,
your toaster emits a ‘new’ smell when it is
first switched on. This is quite normal and
not a cause for concern.
Instructions for use
1Select the desired level of browning on
the browning control ¤marked 1 to 8.
The setting required will vary according to
the moisture content and thickness of the
bread. For best results ensure that the
bread slices are of even thickness,
freshness and size. Remember that stale
bread toasts more rapidly than fresh and
thin bread toasts quicker than thick. See
additional points for more information.
2After selecting the desired level, place
your bread in the slots ›and depress the
bread carriage lever fidownwards until it
locks.

3After the set time has been reached the
bread will pop up automatically ready for
removal from the slots. The bread
carriage lever will have returned to its
upper position and the heating element
will have switched off.
•If the bread in your toaster becomes
jammed disconnect your toaster at the
socket, allow it to cool, then remove the
bread.
•When not in use, switch your toaster off
at the mains and remove the plug from
the socket. DO NOT WRAP THE CABLE
AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF THE
APPLIANCE DURING OR AFTER USE.
Using the cancel button
If you wish to interrupt the toasting
process, press the cancel button fl.
Using the bun warmer
Unfold the bun rack and place it on top
of the toaster ensuring it is securely in
place. Place the buns or other items onto
the bun warmer. Set the browning control to
the bun warmer position ⁄. Depress the
bread carriage lever until it holds down.
Wait for the toaster to switch off
automatically or press the cancel button to
switch the toaster off before removing the
buns.
WARNING: Take care not to touch the
metal of the bun warmer as it will be hot.
Do not put more than two buns on the
bun warmer at any one time.
Additional points
• In order to achieve uniform browning, we
recommend you wait a minimum of 30
seconds between each toasting, so that
the control can be automatically reset.
• If toasting one slice only, you may need
to adjust the browning control to a
slightly lower setting.
• Note you will also notice a slight
variation in toast colour on one side of a
single slice.
• Stale bread toasts more rapidly than
fresh bread. Therefore, the browning
control should be set at a lower setting
than usual.
• All sorts of bread can be used as well as
teacakes, small rolls etc. Slices should
not however be so thick as to cause
burning or jamming within the bread
slots.
•When toasting 2 or more slices it is
recommended they are of equal size and
freshness.
• Allow the toaster to cool fully before
putting away.
