ging settings.

5 Before each use make sure that the crumb tray is in its location.
6 Do not touch the metal parts or hot surfaces of the appliance when it is working. Use handles or

knobs.
7 To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids.

9 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool down before cleaning and

before putting on or taking off parts.
10 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or

has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an approved after sales service center for

examination, repair, or adjustment, in order to avoid any risk of danger. See Warranty.
11 This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into

the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to

modify the plug in any way.
12 The use of accessory attachments are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as it may

cause injuries.

15 Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they may cause

an electric shock or fire.
16 lf the bread gets stuck in the slots after toasting and the elements do not switch off, disconnect the plug

immediately from the wall outlet and wait for the appliance to cool before attempting to remove the

bread.
17 Do not cover this appliance while in use.
18 Do not put paper towels, cardboard or plastic in, on or under the toaster.
19 There is a fire risk if the toaster is “covered” by, in contact with, close to or beneath flammable mate-

rials like curtains, drapes or wood.
20 Bread can burn, therefore do not use this appliance near any flammable materials such as curtains,

under shelving or wall cupboards, etc...

the appliance and smother the flames with a damp cloth.
22 Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

TO USE YOUR TOASTER

Note: All filled food items such as sandwiches should be toasted
using the sandwich cage see “to toast food items using the sandwi­ch cage”.
1 Plug the toaster into the power outlet, an audible beep will be

heard.
2 Adjust the slot width using the lever (2) to suit the food item

(Fig 1). CAUTION: Take care not to touch the adjustable hea-

ting panel, it may be hot.
3 Insert the bread, muffins, bagels, croissants etc. Do not force

food items into the toaster.
4 Lower the carriage lever (Fig 2).
5 Move the browning control to the desired setting. Use a low browning control set-

ting for light toasting and for thin or dry bread.
6 Select the desired button (i.e. high power, low power or bagel).

The selected button and cancel button lights will illuminate, an

audible beep will be heard and toasting will begin.

- To toast bagels the cut side should be facing the front of the

toaster.

- Note: when toasting using the bagel button, the front element

will toast with a higher heat than the element at the back of the

toaster. This will result in only one side of the item being toa-

sted.

- You can use the carriage lever to lift the food item to view at

any time without cancelling.
7 To stop toasting at any stage, press the cancel button. The toaster will emit an

audible beep to indicate toasting is cancelled and the button lights will go out.
8 When toasting is nearly finished the toaster will emit an audible beep and after a slight

delay the button lights will go out and the toasting will stop. The food item will NOT pop

up.
9 Use the carriage lever to raise the food item.
10 After use, unplug the toaster.

USING THE TONGS

- Unplug the toaster, use the carriage lever to raise the food item and use the tongs to assist

with the removal of particularly small items such as English muffins or crumpets.

CAUTION: Avoid touching the metal parts with the tongs.

TO TOAST FOOD ITEMS USING THE SANDWICH CAGE

- Thoroughly cook or re-heat ingredients such as meat or fish prior to adding them to the

sandwich and ensure all ingredients are piping hot throughout before serving. Do not

re-heat ingredients more than once.

- Do not leave hot ingredients to cool before toasting the food item.

- Ensure all ingredients particularly meat or fish are fresh and used within use-by dates.

- Use other vegetable ingredients at room temperature to avoid them chilling the hot

cooked ingredients.

- When cutting your panini or ciabattas etc do not cut all the way through, instead leave the

bottom side uncut so that it prevents melted cheese from dripping into the toaster.

- Cut ingredients thinly - do not use large chunks.

- Take care when using ingredients that could melt and run out of the food item. We do not

recommend the use of high fat or similar fillings that may drip into the toaster as this will

be difficult to clean.

- Lightly butter the outside surface of sandwiches and place the

filling in between the unbuttered sides. This helps prevent the

outside from burning. Do not use low fat spreads, which are

not suitable for toasting.

- Ensure the food item is evenly filled.

- Always use food items that are a suitable size for the sandwich

cage. Do not force food items into the toaster.
1 Plug the toaster into the power outlet, an audible beep will be

heard.
2 Place the food item in the sandwich cage and close.
3 Adjust the slot width to suit the sandwich cage. CAUTION: Take

care not to touch the adjustable heating panel, it may be hot.
4 Lower the carriage lever and place the sandwich cage into the

slot with the handle pointing to the opposite end to the controls

(Fig 3).
5 Move the browning control to the desired setting.
6 It is recommended to use the low power setting. The selected

button and cancel button lights will illuminate, an audible beep will be heard and

toasting will begin.

- In order to monitor the progress of the toasting, the sandwich cage can be lifted up without

cancelling.
7 To stop toasting at any stage, press the cancel button. The toaster will emit an audible

beep to indicate toasting is cancelled and the button lights will go out.
8 When toasting is nearly finished the toaster will emit an audible beep and after a slight delay

the button lights will go out and the toasting will stop. The food item will NOT pop up.
9 Leave the toasted food item to stand for 1 minute inside the toaster before serving.
10 Remove the sandwich cage then open it up and tip the food item onto a plate.
11 After using, unplug the toaster.

CAUTION:

- The sandwich cage will be very hot, ensure it is placed on a heat resistant surface
and take care when handling.

- Ensure ingredients are piping hot throughout before serving.

- Take care when biting into the food items as the fillings can be very hot.

HINTS & TIPS ON USING YOUR TOASTER

These are recommendations only. After a short period of use, experience will teach you which
setting is the right one for your needs. It is advisable to initially start off with a lower setting
until you become familiar with the toaster.

HINTS & TIPS:

- Don’t make the slot width too narrow or close the sandwich cage too tightly and squash
the food item.

- Slices should be cleanly cut and not have serrated edges.

- For frozen bread use a browning control setting higher than you would normally use for
the type of bread.

- For sandwiches cut ingredients thinly - do not use large chunks.

- 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 dry or thin bread.

- For best results when toasting more than one slice, ensure that the bread slices are of an
even thickness, freshness and size.

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

CARE AND CLEANING

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

Allow the sandwich cage and tongs to cool down completely
before cleaning.

2 Wash the sandwich cage and tongs with hot soapy water, then

dry thoroughly.

3 Slide out the crumb tray (Fig 4). Clean, then replace. Do this

regularly: crumbs can smoke or even burn. Pay particular
attention to cleaning melted cheese and other ingredients from
sandwiches etc that may fall onto the crumb tray.

4 Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth, then dry.

- Do not wash any part in the dishwasher.
