Use and store it out of reach of children.

outdoors.
3 Sit the toaster upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
4 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
5 Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible
materials and watch it while it’s hot.
6 The area round the toasting slot gets very hot – don’t touch!
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
8 Don’t cover the toaster or put anything on top of it.
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 toast “buttered” items, they may catch fire.

12 Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.

10 The left four browning level lights will light up.
11 Touch %to lighten, or &to darken the toast.
12 The browning level lights will come on/go off to indicate the level chosen.

15 Press the lever down fully.
, It won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the electricity supply.

c) this will carry on till all the lights are out
d) when they’re all out, the toast will pop up.
eject $
17 To stop the toaster mid-cycle, touch $.
18 The $light will glow, the toast will pop up, then the $light will go out.
extra lift
19 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the lever may be raised further, to
allow them to be removed more easily.
frozen bread f
20 This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
21 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, put the frozen bread into the
slot, lower the lever, then touch f.
22 The flight 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
23 Use the lowest setting (one browning level light glowing).
24 You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
hints and tips
25 If toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
26 Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast
27 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread. Use a lower setting
28 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting
