PLACEMENT OF THE COMPACT GRILL WITH LONG SLOT TOASTER
When placing the appliance in your kitchen, ensure that the unit is kept away from flammable
materials, and that there is sufficient space around the unit, as per the guide below:
Between the back of the unit and the wall: 4.5cm or more
Between the sides of the unit and other objects: 4.5cm or more
Between the top of the unit and other objects: 10cm or more
Always ensure that one side of the unit is free of obstacles. This will reduce the risk of fire or
heat damage. Place the unit on a flat, stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using this appliance for the first time, unpack the appliance and remove all protective
packaging and wrappings. Please ensure to discard the protective packaging and wrappings
immediately. It is important to keep these away from babies, infants and children for safety
purposes.
Clean the appliance by following the cleaning instructions provided in this manual. Before
operation, the power cable/ cord must be placed at the side of the appliance. The power cable/
cord must never touch any hot part of the appliance.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the unit on a flat, stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure that there is sufficient
space around the unit.
Ensure that all of the switches and dials are at the “OFF”/ “0” position.
Plug the unit into a wall socket and switch the wall socket “ON”.

USING THE GRILL
This appliance has two heating elements. Which heating element(s) you use will
depend on the type of food that you are cooking. To switch on the upper element, push
the upper power switch to the “ON”position. To switch on the lower element, push the
lower switch to the “ON”position. To switch on both elements at the same time, make
sure both power switches are in the “ON”position.
Please note that the removable pan handle should be used to remove the grill pan from
the oven. Please do not leave the pan handle in the pan whilst using the grill as the
intense heat will cause the handle to deform.
Place the grill tray on the enamel grill pan. You may choose to use the grill tray with the
grill pan –in doing so, the tray will keep your foods lifted from the pan, enabling the pan
to catch unwanted oils and fats –it functions very much as a drip tray.
Food should be placed on the grill tray or in the grill pan directly. Brush food with
sauces or oil as desired.
Insert the removable pan handle into the grill pan. Using the handle, slide the pan into
the grill cavity. Ensure that food does not touch any of the elements.
Press the appropriate power switch for each of the desired elements. You may use
each independently or use them together. Note that the pilot indicator light will turn on
for each power switch selected. For best results, it is recommended that you preheat
the grill for 15 minutes.
Brush food with sauces or oil as desired. Turn food over midway through the prescribed
cooking time.
When grilling is complete, turn the power switch/ switches to the “OFF” position, the pilot
indicator light/s will turn off. Ensure that the appliance is completely turned off and
unplugged after each use.
NOTE: The pilot indicator light will light up when the heating element/s are switched on
and will turn off when the heating element/s are switched off.

USING THE TOASTER
Adjust the timing/ browning dial on the side of the unit to brown your toast to the desired
level (from 60 seconds to 120 seconds).
Place bread in the toasting slot and push the control lever down. Note: Bread may
burn, so always monitor the cooking process.
When the desired level of browning is achieved, the toast will automatically pop up and
the device will automatically switch off.
Important tips and notes:
To stop toasting at any time, simply pull up the control lever.
After each use of the toaster, allow it to cool for 60-90 seconds before using it again.
Please keep in mind that the control lever engages only in the lower position when the
plug is inserted into a mains power supply and the power supply is turned/ switched
“ON”.
When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness. The bread slices should not be too thick and too large, as they could
become stuck in the toaster. Bread slices should not exceed 20mm in length.
Old, dry or thin bread will cook faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
For brown bread, the browning control must be set higher than when toasting white
bread.
Do not use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread, as these may jam the ejection
mechanism and could catch fire.

12
Sweet bread products (fruit loaf, etc.) brown much quicker than ordinary bread, so
should be toasted on a lower setting.
Should the control lever become jammed during the toasting cycle, do not attempt to
release it. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before carefully removing the
bread.
Do not insert a knife, fork or similar sharp instrument into the toasting slot as these may
damage the elements and present danger of electric shock.
To remove a piece of bread which may have become stuck in the toasting slot - switch
the appliance off and unplug it. Use a blunt stick (e.g. sosatie stick) to grab the piece of
bread out from the toasting slot. Do not touch the heating elements and never use metal
objects.
IMPORTANT- During operation, the toasting slot must never be covered.
Crumbs:
Crumbs will collect in the base of the toaster. Letting them build up can cause a fire
hazard so it is important to remove them frequently.

Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical
service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Ensure that the grill elements are both in the “OFF”position and the
toaster is ‘OFF’ by means of the toaster control lever being lifted in the upper position.

dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry,
soft fibre-free cloth.
