important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible
adult.
2 Don’t put your toaster in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom or near water
contained in a bath-tub, basin or any other vessel, and don’t use it
outdoors.
3 Position the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power
socket, and out of reach of children.
4 Don’t use it near or below curtains or other combustible materials and watch it
while it’s hot, as bread can catch fire if overcooked.
5 The area round the toasting slots gets very hot – don’t touch!
6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught accidentally.
7 When using a single toasting slot, don’t let anything get into the other slot, as both
slots will be “live” when the bread carriage handle is lowered.
8 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting, or while hot.
9 If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, and carefully remove the
bread. Don’t use anything sharp, you’ll damage the elements.
10 Don’t try to force oversized bread into a toasting slot, it may jam and create a fire
hazard. If the bread is too big to fit easily in the slot, trim it to size before toasting.
11 Don’t toast “buttered” items, they may catch fire.
12 Don’t use torn, curled, or misshapen bread, you may jam the toaster.
13 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it
cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
14 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
15 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
16 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
17 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
18 Don’t use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
19 Don’t use the toaster if it’s damaged or malfunctions. If the cable is damaged, the
toaster must be returned, in order to avoid hazard.

before using for the first time
1 Turn the browning control to the highest setting (7).
2 Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements. This may smell a bit, but
it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
toasting bread
3 Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat resistant surface, clear of curtains
and other combustible materials. Don’t put it on or near anything that could be
damaged even by moderate sources of heat.
4 Plug the cable into the power socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.
5 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 30mm ).
6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (light d to dark e).
7 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
8 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off automatically.
eject 5
9 To stop toasting, press the 5 button. The toast will pop up, and the elements will
turn off.
frozen bread f
10 This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
11 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the bread carriage handle, then press the f button.
12 The light attached to this button, will come on, and the toasting time will be altered
automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
reheating toast m
13 There’s no need to adjust the browning control. Insert the toast, lower the bread
carriage handle, then press the m button. The light, attached to this button will
come on, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then pop up. You must only
reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
extra lift H
14 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
hints and tips
15 When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
16 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
17 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread. Use a lower setting.
18 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.

crumbs
