IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL
OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC
DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local
authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer

providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance
separately avoids possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and
enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain
significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the
need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is
marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Electrical Requirements

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.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the

toaster.

• As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight

burning or ‘new’ smell when it is first switched on. This is
normal and not a cause for concern.

• To eliminate the ‘new’ smell at the first use, operate the toaster

on a medium setting without any bread inside. Ensure the room
is well ventilated during this operation.

TO USE YOUR TOASTER

• Make sure than the ON levers (B) are at the rest position. Move

the browning control dial (D) to the desired setting.

• Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.

• Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots (A) and

lower the lever (B) until it is all the way down.
Note: If the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet,
the lever (B) will not stay down.

• When the toasting is finished, the lever returns to the rest

position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.

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

toasting by turning the browning control dial (D).

• The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the

Stop/Cancel button (I). Never lift the lever (B) to cancel
toasting.
Caution: the bread toasting slots become very hot during
operation. Do not touch.

Defrost function

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

Reheat function

To warm toast that has popped up but gone cold, lower the lever (B)
again and then press the ‘Reheat’ button (G). Please note that this is
fixed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the browning control.
The reheat function can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
Stop/Cancel button (I). The reheat indicator light will remain lit while
the reheat function is in use

Bagel function

The ‘Bagel’ function allows for the toasting of bread, bagels and
muffins etc on one side only (internal side), while the other
(external side) remains warm. Bagels and muffins must be sliced in
half before toasting. Press down on the lever (B) and then press the
‘Bagel’ button (H). The bagel indicator light will remain lit while the
bagel function is in use.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

• Select a lower setting for light browning, for toasting one slice
only or for dry bread

• When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a variation
in toast colour from one side to the other – this is normal.

• Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread, and thinly
sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced bread.
Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower setting
than usual.

• For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even
thickness, freshness and size.

• In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend that you
wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the
heating control can reset. Alternatively select a lower setting
when additional toasting is carried out.

PRECAUTIONS

• Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no
bread inside) except on first use.

• 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.

• Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.

• Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.

• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order
to remove bread. As well as damaging the toaster, there is a high
risk of electric shock.

• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the
plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is
safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.

• 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.

DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH
SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE
BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

SERVICE AND CUSTOMER CARE

• If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be repaired by
De’Longhi or an authorised De’Longhi repairer.

• Please refer to the enclosed guarantee leaflet for service and
assistance details.
