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.

into each carriage and lower the toast by pressing down on 
the carriage handle and the power indicator in the button

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. 
The light in the button will come on and the toasting cycle 
will be extended slightly. The bread will automatically pop 
up when toasted. 
7. To reheat cold toast, insert the bread into the carriage, 
lower the carriage and press the REHEAT ( ) button. The 
light in the button will come on and the reheating cycle will 
start. The bread will automatically pop up when the cycle 
has been completed. 
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.
