Before Use:
Read these instructions before using your toaster and keep them safe for future reference. If
you pass the toaster on to anyone else, you should also pass on the instructions.
Remove all packaging before using the product, but keep the packaging until you are
satised that the product is operating correctly.
You may nd a plastic label on the outside of the product listing its features. This must be
peeled o before use.
Before making toast for the rst time, operate the toaster without bread and with the
browning control set at the maximum setting. This will help to burn o any dust etc. which
may have accumulated on the elements. The new elements may give o an unpleasant smell
but this should not be a cause for alarm. Ensure the room is well ventilated while doing this.
How to use your toaster
1. Position your toaster on a rm, level, heat-resistant surface, clear of curtains, drapes and
other combustible materials. Do not place the toaster on or near items that may become
damaged even by moderate sources of heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
2. Shorten the power cord by wrapping the excess cord around the clips underneath the
toaster.
3. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
Toasting
1. Set the browning control to the degree of browning required. The control is electronic;
moving the browning control after toasting has started will not change the degree of
browning.
2. Place bread centrally into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread is 26mm)
3. Press the bread carriage handle down fully - the handle will not lock down unless the
toaster is connected to the electrical outlet.
4. When the toasting cycle is completed, the toast will pop up.
Extra lift facility
After toasting small items (crumpets, muns, etc) the bread carriage handle may be raised
further to allow easier removal.
Cancel button
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is complete, press the CANCEL button.
The elements will be turned o and the toast will pop up.
Frozen bread
This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
Leave the browning control at your desired setting, put the frozen bread into the toasting
slots, lower the bread carriage handle and then press the FROZEN button.
The FROZEN light will come on and will stay on until toasting is complete. The toasting
time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen
bread.
Caution: You cannot use the toaster to defrost frozen bread.
4

Reheating
This feature allows you to reheat toasted bread.
Put the toast into the slots, lower the bread carriage handle and then press the REHEAT
button. The REHEAT light will glow; the toast will be given a short burst of heat to reheat
the toast.
Caution: You may only reheat plain,“unbuttered” toast.
Hints and tips
1. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
2. Old or thin bread will cook faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
3. Do not use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread as these may jam the ejection
mechanism and could catch re.
4. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much quicker than ordinary bread,
so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
5. Should the bread carriage handle become jammed during the toasting cycle, do not
attempt to release it. Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool down before carefully
removing the bread. Do not use a knife, fork or similar sharp instrument as these may
damage the elements.
Crumbs
Crumbs will collect in the base of the toaster. Letting them build up could cause a re hazard,
so remove them frequently. Unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet and push the centre
of the crumb tray to release it. Pull out the crumb tray and empty out the crumbs, then
wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Dry it thoroughly before sliding it back into the base of the
toaster.
Care and maintenance
Unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet and let it cool down naturally before attempting
any cleaning operation or storing away.
Wipe the outer surfaces with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a little mild liquid soap.
Do not allow anything to enter the slots, as this might damage the elements.
D not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Do not immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid.
