2. Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains
voltage in your home.
3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the toaster and cause injury to

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
7. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the toaster.
8. Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in
order to avoid an electrical hazard.
9. Do not use the toaster if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In case of

is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.
17. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot gas
or electric burner or in a heated oven.
18. When using a single toasting slot, do not let anything get into the other slot, as
both slots will be “live” when the lever is lowered.
19. Do not use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible materials.
20. Be careful when touching the areas around the toasting slots as they can get
very hot.

necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the power
consumption of the toaster to avoid overheating of the extension cord, appliance
or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it can be pulled
on by children or animals or tripped over.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using for the first time
1. Place the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the plug into the main socket.
3. Set the browning level to maximum (6).
4. Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements.
5. This may give off a smell, but it is nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well
ventilated.
Toasting Bread
6. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1=light, 6=dark).
7. Insert the bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 28mm).
8. Press the lever down fully.
•It will not lock down unless the toaster is connected to the electricity supply.
9. Once the toast is done, it will pop up and the elements will turn off .
10. To stop toasting, press the button. The toast will pop up, and the elements will
turn off.
Extra lift
11. After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc) the lever may be raised further,
to allow them to be removed easier.
Frozen bread
12. This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
13. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, and
lower the lever, then press the button.
14. 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: Do not try to defrost bread-this may damage the toaster, it may even cause
injury.
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 may drip
over the electronics and the elements

Bagel
15. Only the brown outside surfaces of bagels should be toasted, the soft inner
surfaces shouldn’t be browned.
16. Split your bagel and put the two halves into the slots with the brown outsides
facing the centre elements.
17. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, lower the lever, then press
the button. This heats only the centre elements.
18. The light will glow, the brown outsides of the bagel will be toasted, and the cut
sides will be warmed.
Bun warmer
19. Use the bun warmer only on browning level 1.
20. Don’t use the bun warmer to warm frozen, buttered, coated, iced, or filled buns.
21. Place the bun warmer on top of the toaster, with the feet inside the slots.
22. Place the buns on top of the bun warmer.
23. Set the browning level pops up, remove the warmed buns.
24. Don’t touch the bun warmer wires-they’ll be hot.
25. Remove the bun warmer before using the toaster normally.
Reheating toast
26. Use the lowest setting. Only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
Hints and tips
27. If toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
28. Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
29. Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread. Use a lower setting.
30. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
Crumbs
31. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs.
This is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
32. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.
33. Press and release the crumb tray to unlock it.
34. Remove and empty the crumb tray.
35. Wipe with a damp cloth, dry, then replace it in the toaster.
36. Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
