OPERATION
Always place the toaster on a stable heat resistant surface. Do not operate on an inclined
surface. Keep away from any curtain, cupboard or other combustible material. The temperature
of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.
DO NOT LEAVE TOASTER UNNATENDED WHILE IN USE. BREAD MAY BURN.
Normal Toasting
1. Connect to a suitable 220-240V ~ 50/60Hz power supply. This appliance must be earthed.
2. Use your toaster once without bread. This will pre-heat the new elements and burn off any
dust which may have accumulated during storage.
3. Select the desired level of browning on the browning control marked 1 to 6. The setting
required will vary according to the moisture content and thickness of bread. For best results
ensure that the bread slices are of even thickness, freshness and size. Remember that stale
bread toasts more rapidly than fresh and thin bread toasts quicker than thick. See additional
points for more information.
4. After selecting the desired browning level, place your bread in the bread slots and depress
the bread carriage lever downwards until it locks. Note: The bread carriage lever will not
stay down unless the toaster is plugged in and the wall switch is on.
5. After the set degree of brownness has been reached the bread will pop-up automatically,
ready for removal from the slots. The bread carriage lever will have returned to its upper
position and the heating element will have switched off, ready for the next toasting. If the
first slices are not dark enough turn the browning control to a higher setting.

If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed disconnect your toaster at the socket,
allow it to cool, and then remove the bread.
When not in use, switch your toaster off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket.
DO NOT WRAP THE CABLE AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF THE APPLIANCE DURING
OR AFTER USE.
Using the cancel setting
If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press the cancel button.
Using the re-heat button
If your toast has popped up and gone cold, the toaster offers a re-heat facility. To use, depress
the bread carriage lever and press the re-heat button immediately. The light next to the button
will illuminate and the toaster will operate for a short period re-heating the bread.
Using the Frozen button
To toast frozen bread, do not adjust the browning control, place the bread normally in the
bread slot, depress the bread carriage lever and press the defrost bread button
The light next to the button will illuminate and the toaster will automatically toast for an
extended period.
Crumb tray
Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if not emptied periodically. When
the toaster has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the case lightly to dislodge any crumbs
lodged in the toasting chamber and pull out the crumb tray .Empty the tray and replace it.
NOTE: Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray fitted.
Additional points
In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds
between each toasting, so that the control can automatically be reset.
If toasting one slice only, you may need to adjust the browning control to a slightly lower
setting.
Note you will also notice a slight variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice.
Stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh bread. The browning control should be set at a
lower setting than usual.
All sorts of bread can be used as well as teacakes, small rolls etc. Slices should not however
be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the bread slot.
When toasting 2 slices it is recommended they are of equal size and freshness.
Allow the toaster to cool fully before putting away.
