WARNING!

• This appliance is intended exclusively for use in domestic

households. It is not suitable for commercial use.

• Do not leave unattended during use. Bread can catch fire if

overdone.

• Do not use toasters directly under cupboards as this may

damage the toaster and/or the cupboard. Always ensure a
clear gap of at least 60cm above the toaster.

• Do not cover and allow the toaster to cool fully before

storing.

• Do not operate the toaster using a timer or separate

remote control.

• The surfaces of the toaster may become hot; wear oven

gloves when handling the appliance during and
immediately after use.

• Bread may burn, do not use the toaster on, near or under

flammable materials (e.g. curtains) or heat sensitive
surfaces.

• Do not use without the crumb tray correctly fitted and

closed completely. Do not allow crumbs to build up in the
tray, the crumb tray should be cleaned regularly.

• Do not place foil wrapped food in this toaster and remove

all wrappings from food before toasting.

• Not suitable to toast bread and other foodstuffs coated or

containing butter, other spreads or containing sugar and
jams.

• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose

raisins from the surface of the bread before placing in the
toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the
toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the slot.

• To prevent jamming do not use your toaster with torn slices

of bread. Make sure the size and thickness of the bread
slices fit easily into the toast slots.

TO USE (CONTINUED)

5. The toast will automatically pop up when the toasting time

has been completed. When using for the first time or
changing bread types initially set the browning control at 3
and it is advisable to check at intervals to see if the desired
browning level has been reached.

6. If using frozen bread, insert the bread into the carriage,

lower the carriage and the press the FROZEN ( ) button.

will be extended slightly. The bread will automatically pop
up when toasted.

8. Toasting or warming can be stopped at anytime by pressing

the CANCEL button, or by unplugging the toaster.

Notes:

• Before using for the first time it is advisable to let the

toaster complete several toasting cycles at the highest
setting with no bread in the carriage. Allow the toaster to
cool down between cycles.

• If the toast starts to smoke, press the CANCEL button

immediately.

• Dry thin slices of bread will toaster quicker than moist or

thick slices and should be toasted on a lower setting.

• For best results when toasting crust slices, insert the bread

so the crust side is nearest the outside of the toaster, and
the cut side is nearest the middle of the toaster.

• Turn the browning control knob to a lower setting if you are

toasting a single slice.
