• Your Dualit toaster has new
patented ProHeat elements.

• To condition the elements before
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.

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

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

• Turn the Time Switch Knob
clockwise 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 slightly
increase time setting.

• The Dualit toaster can accommodate
very large and thick slices. However,
if the bread protrudes out of the top
of the toaster, you can turn the
bread upside down midway through
the toasting process.

• When the toaster is cold and
being used for the first time set
the Time Switch 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 the Time Switch is rotated the
automatic timing will start and
the red neon light will illuminate.

USING YOUR TOASTER

TOASTING BREAD

• The timer will click off from 0.5 to
0 position with a clicking sound,
the neon light and heating
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 toast will not pop up, but will
keep warm inside the toaster.
Press down the round Ejector
Knob and the toast will pop up
ready for serving.

• To toast frozen bread, set timer to
the defrost symbol. Let the timer
run to 0 position, wait 20 seconds
then continue to toast as normal.

CAUTION: 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.

ADJUSTABLE SLOTS

USING YOUR TOASTER

• This toaster has adjustable wire
guards that will adjust to the
thick bread and to accommodate
the sandwich cage. (available
as an accessory)

• It may be more convenient to
toast buns and crumpets in a
sandwich cage, as they will be
easier to remove from the toaster.

• The Combi Toasters are supplied
with Sandwich cages.

• Additional cages can be
purchased as an accessory for any
Dualit adjustable wire slot toaster.

• Prepare the sandwich with
medium sliced bread, lightly
butter one side of each slice and
place filling between un-buttered
sides. Do not overfill the
sandwich.

6

• Place the sandwich in the cage
and insert into the toaster.

• Select the number of slots on the
selector switch. Set time switch to
between number 2.5 and 3.5
according to the brownness
required.

• Suggested fillings: Thinly sliced
ham and thinly sliced cheese.
Tomato and cheese or any similar
combination.

We recommend using pre-cut
processed slices of cheese.

• Always lightly butter the OUTER

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

• We recommend the use of 1 or 2
day old sliced bread. Slices should
be cleanly cut and 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.

CAUTION: 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.

• Your toaster is fitted with one
adjustable rear foot which may be
hand turned, to raise or lower the
toaster, to compensate for uneven
work surfaces.

CLEANING

7

SERVICING

• Unplug the toaster and allow to
cool down before cleaning.

• Remove the crumb tray and 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 damp cloth to wipe off the
outside surfaces of the toaster. 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.

Servicing must only be carried out
by a Dualit authorised service agent
or a competent qualified electrician.

For your own protection only use
original Dualit spares in your
toaster.

• When replacing Pro Heat
elements, only use genuine Dualit
elements (stamped “DUALIT”).

• The safety and the performance
of the toaster cannot be guaranteed
if inferior elements are used.

• Fitting of non Dualit parts will also
invalidate the guarantee.
