THE GREAT BRITISH TOASTER
Original instructions

TROUBLESHOOTING
MY TOASTER IS NOT WORKING:
Check the toaster is plugged in.
Check if the ‘neon’ is glowing blue or green.
I. If yes, your elements or ‘selector’ switch may need replacing.
II. If no, one of the following may have occurred
a. your plug fuse may have blown
b. your timer may need replacing.
c. your surge protection fuse may have blown
d. your thermal protection switch may have been activated
I GET UNEVEN TOASTING:
Check the selector switch is set for the number of slots being used.
oIf set to BUN setting only one side will toast and remember to insert
bread from the very left hand slot.
Starting from the left, ensure you have loaded all heated up slots.
The elements can take a few moments to reach optimum toasting temperature.
Preheating the slots prior to inserting your bread will eliminate this. Rotate the
‘timer’ all the way round, let it wind down to the circle indicator then insert your
bread into the active slots.
Ensure size and type of bread being toasted is the same.
End elements take a little longer to warm up than centre elements, once toaster is
at optimum operating temperature this will no longer occur.
The timer is noticeably slow, unplug and do not use the toaster. Spare timers are
available from our spares department and must be fitted by a qualified electrical
engineer.
One or more of the elements may need replacing, call the spares department for
replacements.
MY TOAST GETS STUCK WHEN I EJECT FROM THE TOASTER:
Slices thicker than 31mm will get stuck.
Hand cut slice must be cut evenly.
SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE SLOTS
If this is the first time using your toaster, this is normal, your elements are being
conditioned.
Empty the crumb tray. A build-up of crumbs can burn or cause a fire.
Some crumbs or pieces of bread may be stuck in the toaster. Unplug, remove the
crumb tray then turn the toaster down over a sink or bin and gently shake the
crumbs out or use a soft brush to clean inside your toaster.
Rowlett
With all its products manufactured and assembled to an exact specification by hand,
Rowlett has built its reputation on quality components, hand build craftsmanship,
durability and stylish design.
Innovatively designed and lovingly crafted, Rowlett’s award winning commercial and
domestic toasters have been manufactured since 1945, with founder Ted Rutland
making the company’s first commercial toaster in 1946.
Rowlett produces an exceptional range of market-leading, durable, stylish and
individual commercial toasters which produce perfectly brown and evenly-golden
toast time after time. You don't have to go very far to come across a Rowlett toaster,
with models supplied to all types of establishments, from restaurants, cafes and
bistros, all the way to homes, canteens and hotels. With over 70 years of toaster
craftsmanship behind it, the company takes the art of toasting very seriously, with
its innovative Rowlett Premier commercial toaster range offering exceptionally
reliable and rapid toasting using energy efficient rotary slot selection. Rowlett even
holds the Guinness World Record for the longest, largest and fully functional toaster
which is 6ft long and can toast an impressive 34 slices of bread simultaneously!
With variable settings for toasting perfection and neon indicator lights included to
show when the device is in use, Rowlett toasters switch off at the end of each cycle,
but feature a handy ‘toast ready’ ringer which removes the hassle of having to check
whether toast is ready and also keep the toast or sandwich warm in the machine
until needed. This allows busy caterers the freedom to get on with other tasks.
Crumbs are quickly and easily removed with the efficient pull-out crumb tray.
Handmade by skilled craftsmen using the highest quality materials, all Rowlett
products are individually tested and certified before leaving the factory, ensuring
they are built to last, and come with a generous warranty.

IMPORTANT -
BEFORE USING
Heating elements need to be
conditioned before toasting for the very
first time. Then continue to toast as per
the instructions.
Set the selector switch so ALL the slots
are active, with NO bread in the slots, turn
the timer all the way round and let it run
back to the off position.
Some smoke may vent from the slots,
THIS IS NOT A FAULT and is perfectly
safe. There may be a slight popping
crinkling sound, this is due to heat
expansion of the elements and is perfectly
normal.
Your toaster is now conditioned and ready
for use
THERMAL PROTECTION DEVICE
TO PREVENT ACTIVATING THE THERMAL PROTECTION DEVICE:
Ensure your toaster is situated in an area with at least 10cm of space to the left,
right and back of the toaster.
Use the toaster clear of overhanging cupboards and away from any flammable
materials.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Always load bread into the toaster
starting from the left hand slot.
Always use the appropriate setting for
the number of slices of bread to be
toasted.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Be mindful of reducing the toasting
time if the toaster is already warm
from previous use, as the bread
toasts faster on 2nd and 3rd cycles
Always unplug the toaster after use

CLEANING & CARE
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THE TOASTER IS UNPLUGGED AND
ALLOWED TO FULLY COOL BEFORE STARTING TO CLEAN.
NOT IN USE
AFTER EACH USE
Wipe the ‘stainless steel cover’ with a non-abrasive
cloth.
A stainless steel cleaner can be used to restore shine to
the cover only, but do not use an aggressive cleaner or
one that contains ammonia.
Wipe the aluminium end
castings with a damp
cloth.
Do not use a chemical or
abrasive cleaner.
Empty the ‘crumb tray’
on a regular basis. Daily if
being used in a
commercial kitchen.
CRUMB TRAY
MUST BE IN PLACE
DURING TOASTING.
With the toaster unplugged use a SOFT BRUSH to
clean inside your toaster, do not use a sharp or metal
utensil! Crumbs should be carefully brushed off the
elements using only a soft brush, the toaster can be
turned upside down and excess crumbs be shaken out.
TOASTING TIPS
These appliances are intended to be used in household and similar applications
such as:
staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and others working environments;
farm houses;
by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
bed and breakfast type environments.
Here are a few tips to help get the best out of your toaster;
•FULLY LOAD ALL HEATED UP SLOTS. If a slot is heated but no bread is
inserted, the bread in the adjacent slot will toast unevenly.
•ALWAYS LOAD YOUR SLOTS STARTING FROM THE LEFT.
•DIFFERENT BREADS WILL TOAST AT DIFFERENT RATES, wholemeal bread takes
longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread.
Remember to adjust your timer to allow for your particular type of bread.
•After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be at full operating
temperature, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast. The thickest slice of bread
that will fit in your toaster is 30mm thick. Forcing bread
which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted.
•You may find it easier to use a ‘sandwich cage’ to toast smaller items. Inserting,
checking and removing will all be easier (sold separately).
•When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will
toast unevenly.
•Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may
burn out the elements. With the toaster unplugged use a soft brush to clean inside your
toaster, do not use a knife!
•Cancel toasting manually at any time by rotating the selector back to ‘Off’.
•Always unplug your toaster from the wall socket after use.
