SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for household use

before using for the rst time
1 Turn the browning control to the highest setting (6).
2 Operate the toaster empty, to cure the new elements. This may smell a bit, but it’s
nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
toasting bread
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 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
6 Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible
materials and watch it while it’s hot.
7 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
8 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
9 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 25mm).
10 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
11 The light will come on, and the elements will heat up.
12 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the light will go out, and the elements will
turn o automatically.
eject
13 To stop the toaster before it’s nished, press the button. The toast will pop up,
and the elements will turn o.
extra lift
14 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
frozen bread
15 This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
16 There’s no need to adjust the browning control, leave it at your favoured setting.
17 Put the frozen bread into the slots.
18 Lower the bread carriage handle, then press the button.
19 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 wreck 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, causing mayhem
reheating toast
20 There’s no need to adjust the browning control.
21 Put the toast into the slots.
22 Lower the bread carriage handle, then press the button.
23 The light will come on, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then it’ll pop
up, and the lights will go out.
24 You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.

hints and tips
25 When toasting more than one slice of bread, 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, so 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.
crumbs
29 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a re hazard.
30 Unplug the toaster and let it cool.
31 Slide the crumb tray out and empty it.
32 Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry, then slide it back into place under the toaster.
33 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is tted and closed.
care and maintenance
34 Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
before cleaning and storing away.
35 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
36 Don’t let anything enter the slots, you might damage the elements.
37 Don’t put the toaster in liquid.
38 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
