26. When using only one of the toasting slots, don’t let anything get into the other slot,
as both slots will become “live” when you lower the bread carriage handle.
27. Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting.
28. If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool down fully, then carefully
remove the bread that’s jamming it. Don’t use anything sharp, such as a knife or
fork, you may damage the elements.
27. Don’t toast “buttered” items or try to make toasted sandwiches in the toaster, as this
will create a fire hazard.
28. Don’t use torn, curled up, or broken slices of bread, as these may jam the eject
mechanism.
29. Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.
30. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently. A build up of crumbs is unhygienic,
and could cause a fire hazard.

32. Don’t use the toaster for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.

PARTS DIAGRAM
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before&using&for&the&first&time&
1. Turn the browning control to the highest setting (6).
2. Operate the toaster without any bread inside, to cure the new elements to
remove the protective coating. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry
about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

6
Toasting&bread&
1. Place 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.
2. Plug the cable into the power socket.
3. Place bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 27mm).
4. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark)
5. Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
6. The eject light will come on.
7. When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the eject light will go off, and the elements will
turn off automatically.
Eject&
To stop the toaster before it’s finished, press the eject button. The toast will pop up,
and the elements will turn off.
Frozen&bread&*
1. This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
2. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, put the frozen bread into the
slots, lower the bread carriage handle and then press the * button.
3. The * light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give
the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
Caution&don’t try to defrost bread – you’ll probably damage the toaster
a) Toasting frozen bread changes ice to steam, which escapes via the toasting slots
b) Defrosting bread on a low setting changes ice to water, which drips into the
toaster, over the electronics and maybe the elements which will cause damage to the toaster.
&
Reheating&toast&
1. You must only reheat plain, unbuttered toast and you should reheat toast at the
lowest setting.

7
2. Turn the browning control down to reheat.
3. Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
4. The reheat light will come on.
5. When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the reheat light will go out, and the elements
will turn off automatically.
Extra&lift&!
After toasting smaller slices of bread the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
Hints&and&tips&
1. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
2. Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
3. Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
4. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
Crumbs&
1. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
2. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down, then remove and empty the crumb tray.
3. Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry and then replace it in the toaster.
4. Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
Jamming&
If the bread jams in the toaster, the contacts will open and will turn off the power to the
elements. You should still unplug the toaster and leave it to cool down before trying
to release the jam.
