Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the toaster on to anyone else,
pass on the instructions too.
Remove all packaging, but keep it till you’re satisfied the toaster is working.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The toaster must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
2 Don’t put the toaster in water or any other liquid, don’t use it in a
bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
4 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
5 If overcooked, bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or
other combustible materials, and watch it while it’s in use.
6 The area round the toasting slots gets hot – don’t touch!
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught or tripped over
accidentally.
8 The toaster must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
9 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.
10 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting, or while the toaster is
still hot.
11 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.
12 Don’t toast sandwiches or buttered items, the fillings or the butter may burn.
13 Don’t use torn, curled, or misshapen bread, you may jam the toaster.
14 Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.
15 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently. A build up of crumbs is unhygienic,
and could cause a fire hazard.
16 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is in place.
17 Keep the toaster and the cable away from sources of heat.
18 Don’t use the toaster for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
19 Don’t use the toaster if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
20 If the cable is damaged, return the toaster, to avoid hazard.
household use only
before using for the first time
Before using the toaster for the first time, you need to cure the elements. This will
remove their protective coating.
This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Just make sure the room is well
ventilated.
Check that there’s nothing in the slots, turn the browning control to max, and operate
the toaster without bread.
When it’s done, leave it to cool down fully, then you can use it normally.

toasting bread
1 Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught or tripped over
accidentally.
4 If overcooked, bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or
other combustible materials, and watch it while it’s in use.
5 Put the plug into the power socket. Switch the socket on, if it’s switchable.
6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (min = light, max = dark).
7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 25mm).
8 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it’ll only lock down if the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
9 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off.
10 The area round the toasting slots gets hot – don’t touch!
extra lift
After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
eject 5
To stop toasting, press the 5 button. The toast will pop up, and the elements will turn
off.
frozen bread f
This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
1 Leave the browning control at the setting you use with normal, unfrozen bread.
2 Put the frozen bread into the slots, lower the bread carriage handle, to start the
toaster, then press the f button.
3 The toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of
browning you get with unfrozen bread.
4 The light will come on, and the elements will heat up.
5 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the light will go out, and the elements will
turn off.
reheating toast
When reheating toast, use a low setting, otherwise you’ll burn your toast. Don’t reheat
buttered toast, it may catch fire. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
hints and tips
, If you’re toasting more than one slice of bread, make sure the slices are of similar
size, thickness and freshness, otherwise they’ll brown differently.
, Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture that fresh bread, so makes crisper
toast.
, Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so you should use a lighter
setting.
, Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
