• The toaster

• Crumb tray

• Recipe booklet (Sandwich

toasting for the first time, preheat
an empty toaster with all slots
turned on for three minutes.
Slight smoking may occur, this is
perfectly safe.

may be a slight popping crinkling
sound, this is due to heat
expansion of the element surface
and is NOT a fault.

THE BUN TOASTER

7

• When the toaster is cold and
being used for the first time set
the timer Knob to 2.5
because the metal body will
absorb some heat.

• After the toaster has warmed up,
reduce the toasting time to give
consistent results.

• As soon as the Time Switch is
rotated the automatic timing will
start and the red neon light will
illuminate.

• The timer will click off from 0.5 to
0 position with a clicking sound,
the neon light & elements will
switch off automatically.

• The timer can be rotated off at
any time during the toasting
process by manually rotating the
timer knob to the 0 position.

• The toasted item will not pop up,
but will keep warm inside the
toaster.

• Press down on the round Ejector
Knob and the bun will push up
ready for serving.

• To reheat recently toasted buns
set timer to approx 1 setting.

• To toast frozen buns increase
toasting time by 1 setting

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

Heating up a slot that has
not been loaded with bread may
damage the elements and cause
uneven toasting. Do not use the
toaster if the crumb tray or base plate
are missing or are incorrectly fitted.

USING THE BUN TOASTER

• Select the number of slots to be
activated using the slot selector
switch. Lift the round black
Ejector Knob to the up position.
Starting from left to right, insert
buns into all slots brought into
operation by the selector switch.

• Turn the Time Switch Knob clock
wise to the required number on
the dial.

1.5 = Lightly browned toast

2.0 = Medium toast

2.5 = Well done toast.

• If using brown bread or other
items, cooking times may vary.

• The Dualit toaster can
accommodate large buns upto
115mm diameter and 28mm
thick. However, if the bun
protrudes out of the top of the
toaster, you can turn the bun
upside down midway through the
toasting process.

BUN TOASTING TIPS

8

• We recommend the use of 1 or 2
days old, medium or thick sliced
buns. Slices should be cleanly cut
and not ragged edged.

• Do not force in too thick or too
long items as when these are
toasted, difficulty may be
experienced in ejecting them.
Never insert broken buns.

• Insert buns in all switched on
toasting slots. If some heated slots
are empty the remaining slots will
toast unevenly. The empty slots
will cause the elements to over
heat and burn prematurely.

• Never use the toaster as a
hotplate by covering the top of
the toaster.

• Dualit toasters are fitted with high
quality, heavy duty elements.
However, the life of an element
cannot be guaranteed as this
depends entirely upon the
treatment received by the user.

USING THE SANDWICH TOASTER

• The sandwich toasters are
supplied with Sandwich cages.
Additional cages can be
purchased as an accessory.

• Using medium sliced bread,
lightly butter one side of each
slice and place filling between
un-buttered sides. Use the
sandwich cage recipe book for
various ideas. Pre-sliced or grated
cheeses work best.

• Place sandwich into a cage and
insert into one of the slots.

• The two slot sandwich toaster
uses two timer dials. (The top one
switches on the left hand slot and
the bottom one switch the right
hand slot).

• The four slot has a 3 position
rotary switch to select 1,2 or 4
slots and a single timer.

• Set timer dial for each loaded slot
to between no. 2.5 and no. 3.5
according to the darkness
required. After the toaster has
warmed up, reduce time by half a
number (Usually after 2 or 3
cycles).

• The timer dial turns off
automatically after the selected
time cycle has finished or can be
reset manually by turning the
timer knob back to the off
position.

• The sandwiches will keep warm
inside the toaster until removed
for serving.

• See the included recipe booklet
for lots of inspirational ideas.

and dry.

• A stainless steel polish can
be used to restore shine but
this must not an aggressive
cleaner or contain ammonia and
should only be used on the
stainless steel cover.

• This appliance must not be
immersed in water or cleaned
with a water jet.

• Sandwich cages are dishwasher
safe or can be washed in warm
soapy water. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.

• Empty the crumb tray on a daily
basis, do not allow crumbs to
build up.

SANDWICH TOASTING TIPS

• Always

lliigghhttllyy

butter the OUTER
sides of the sandwich as this will
make the filling hotter.

• We recommend the use of 1 or 2
day old bread. Slices should be
cleanly cut & not ragged edged.

• Very thinly sliced bread may
produce uneven toasting.

• Do not force in thick slices of
bread as you may experience
difficulty in ejecting them. Never
insert broken pieces of bread.

• If heated slots are left empty the
adjacent slots will toast unevenly.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

Heating up slots that have
not been loaded with bread may
damage the elements and will cause
uneven toasting. Do not use the
toaster if the crumb tray or base
plate are missing or are incorrectly
fitted and never cover the top of the
toaster or use as a hot plate. Always

unplug the toaster when not in use.

Cleaning and maintaining your
toaster on a regular basis will keep it
shining and prolong the life of your
machine.

•

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::

Always unplug the
toaster and allow to cool down
before performing any cleaning.

• Remove crumb tray & clean daily.

• Crumbs should be carefully
brushed off the elements (using
only a soft brush), the toaster
turned upside down and shaken
out.

• Never insert a fork or other sharp
instrument to remove torn pieces
of bread as the heating elements
may be damaged.

• Use a microfiber or damp cloth to
wipe off the outside surfaces of
the toaster. Do not use any
cleaner on the end castings, wipe
