UK STYLE PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (IN THE UK ONLY)
This product must only be used from a 13 amp power socket. If a BS1363 approved 13 amp
plug is used, it should be fitted with a 13 amp fuse conforming to BS1362 and be ASTA
approved. The wires on the power cord are colour coded:
blue = neutral, brown = live, green or green & yellow = earth.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured in black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured in red.
The green (& yellow) wire must be connected to the terminal marked E or coloured in green (&
yellow).
CAUTION: the bread carriage handle will not stay down if the appliance is not plugged in!
BEFORE USING THE TOASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME
In order to eliminate any manufacturing residues, operate the toaster a couple of times without
bread with the browning control selector on a medium power level. Some smoke might
escape.
OPERATION
• Before using your appliance for the first time, check if it is clean (see “Maintenance and
cleaning”) as it comes into direct contact with bread. Check if any object has fallen into
the slots.
• Plug the appliance into a wall outlet.
• Place the bread slices in the slot (for French bread, cut a loaf shorter than the slot, then
cut it in two pieces along its length). Your appliance is provided to receive French bread,
but also pieces of toast or other bread slices if their thickness and their length are shorter
than the one of the slot. The maximum thickness allowed for bread is 38mm / 1 ½”.
• Press down the bread carriage handle until it stops (at the same time, the grid inside the
slots will tighten around the bread in order to keep it away from the quartz heating
elements). Then release the pressure and the handle will stay in the lower position, which
means that the heating process has begun. If the handle comes up immediately, check if
the appliance is plugged in, as the bread carriage cannot be locked if the toaster is not
plugged-in.
• You can adjust the browning intensity to obtain a more/less toasted bread, by positioning
the browning control dial to one of the degrees marked from 1 to 6. Therefore you only
have to turn the dial clockwise to increase the browning intensity, and anticlockwise to
decrease it. The higher the number is, the more toasted the bread will be.
• Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before handling or storing it.
• Excess lengths of power cord can be stored under the base.
• When you store your appliance, wind the cord around the hooks.

FEATURES
Giant slots
Whether you like freshly baked un-cut loaves, bagels, teacakes, crumpets or pre-sliced thick or
thin breads, the Giant Slots makes it easy to evenly toast these different types and sizes of
bread.
High lift
The KitchenArtisan Giant Slot toaster has a High Lift facility, which makes it easier to remove
small items. Simply raise the bread lever ‘up’ to raise the carriage further once the toasting
cycle is complete, assisting with the removal of smaller items such as crumpets.
Cancel
To immediately stop the toasting cycle at any time.
bread is toasted enough or you require the cycle to be halted for any reason, you can cancel
the heating process simply by pressing the Stop button.
One Side
This feature enables you to toast just one side of the bread, ideal for toasting breads such as
bagels, French Toast and baguettes.
One Slot
Ideal for toasting one slot only,
activate once the One Slot button is pressed. This means that not only can you accommodate
for single slice toasting, you also save energy by only using the electricity you require.
Defrost
Simply select your regular browning setting and the toasting time will be altered automatically
to first defrost and then toast the bread to your chosen setting.
Reheat
The reheat button is a handy feature for when your toast cycle is complete before you are
ready. Simply lower the bread lever and press the Reheat button to automatically set the pretoasted bread to a very low setting. This will automatically reheat the toast, without adding to
the browning shade.

carriage and pick up the toasted bread. If still not accessible, please use thin heatresistant tongs to pick up the bread in the slot.
• Do NOT touch the metal parts as they will be hot!
• Do NOT toast food, other than bread, that is not specifically said to be toasted in a slot
toaster.
• If the toaster jams, the bread might simply be too thick. Remove the bread from the
toaster and slice it thinner.
• The second or third toast might toast too dark. This is normal. In case of repeated,
successive toasting, it might be useful to adjust the browning level so that the second
toasts’ browning is consistent with the first.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• Before attempting any cleaning operation, make sure the toaster is unplugged from the
supply socket and fully cooled down.
• To remove bread crumbs, slide the crumb tray (9) situated on the bottom of the
appliance, out from the side for removal.
• Caution! It is very important to empty the crumb tray regularly.
• Crumbs that have accumulated in the toaster might burn and may become a fire hazard.
• To clean the exterior surface/housing, unplug the appliance and wait for the toaster to
cool down completely. Then simply wipe over with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or material (scouring pads) as they may damage the finish of your appliance.
• THE TOASTER MUST NEVER BE IMMERSED IN WATER OR USED NEAR WATER.
• All other maintenance and repair should be performed by a qualified technician.
