during transit by dusting it off with a soft dry cloth.

• Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make certain:

- The voltage of the socket corresponds to the value indicated

on the information label, attached to the appliance.

- The electrical socket is earthed, the manufacturer
declines any responsibility for the lack of observation of this

norm.

• In the case of incompatibility between the socket and the plug
of the appliance, have it replaced by a qualified technician. The
use of adapters, multiple socket units and/or extension cables is
not recommended. Whenever it may be necessary to use such
equipment, it is advisable to use only single or multiple adapters
or extension cables which comply with the current safety stan­dards, and make sure not to exceed the wattage limit of the
adapter or extension cable.

Electrical Requirements (UK only)

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicat­ed on the product corresponds with the main voltage in
your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply con­tact your local electricity company.

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.Should this plug not fit the socket out­lets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable
plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of, (having removed the fuse) and not
left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with
the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets
that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
Important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the
earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin
socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this
operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be
replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover must be refitted. If the
fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover
is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of
the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the
plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362
should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the sup­pression of radio interference.

USE OF THE COMMANDS

Toast function

• Make sure that the ON lever (B) is raised and the dial (G) is set

for a medium toasting level.

• Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.

In order to eliminate the “new” smell at the first use, operate the
appliance without any food inside for at least 5 minutes. Ventilate
the room during this operation.

• Place the slices of bread in the toasting slots (A), then lower the

lever (B) as far as it will go. Note: if the appliance is not plugged
into an electrical outlet, the lever (B) will not remain down.

• When toasting is complete, the toaster will emit three short

beeps and the lever will rise slowly up, together with the slices
of bread.

• If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker degree of

toasting by turning the dial (G). If on the other hand it is too
dark, select a lighter degree of toasting.

• The toasting can be interrupted at any moment simply by

pressing the cancel button (F).
Caution: The Bread toasting slots becomes very hot during
operation.
To remove the slices of toast, push the ON lever (B) upwards.
The bread carriage rises a further 2 cm, enabling you to take
hold of the bread without burning yourself.

Defrost function

Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the defrost
button (C) immediately after lowering the ON lever (B);
the toasting cycle will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired
browning. The warning light will remain lit while the defrost function
is in use.

Reheat function

Press down the ON lever (B) and press the reheating button (D).
The reheat light will remain on while the reheat function is in use.
Please note that this is a fixed reheat time which cannot be
adjusted by the browning control

Bagel function

The bagel function allows for the toasting of bread or the browning
of muffins, etc. on one side only.
Muffins must first be sliced in half. Press down the ON lever (B) and
press the bagel button (E). The outer elements of the toaster will
operate at full power and the inner elements at low power.
The warning light will remain lit while the bagel function is in use.
NOTE: When using the bagel function, you should reduce the
normal degree of toasting.

SUGGESTIONS

• Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no

bread inside).

• Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.

• Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking
process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more
difficult, these may cause fires.
It is also very important to clean the crumb collection tray of
any drippings before each use.

• Do not insert foods that are too big for the slots.

• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order
to remove bread, in so far as it may damage the elements
of the appliance.
Remove the plug from the outlet and turn the appliance over,
gently shaking it to remove the lodged item.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Any cleaning and/or maintenance operation must be done after
having removed the plug from the electrical outlet.

• Let the appliance cool down before proceeding with its cleaning.

• The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the surface.

• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.

• After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and
empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance by
pushing on the front. About 2 cm of the tray will emerge slowly,
allowing you to remove it easily from its housing.

• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the
plug from the mains, turn the toaster over and shake it gently.

• DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER

WITH SHARP UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE
THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS.
