to use your toaster

1 Plug in the toaster and setting ‘3’

will be displayed. Use the + and –
buttons to increase or decrease
the setting. The higher the number
the darker the setting. Nine
settings are available.

2 Insert the bread, muffins, bagels etc.
3 Lower the lever  until it locks.

(The lever will not stay down unless
the toaster is plugged in).

●

A graduated LCD bar will appear
at the bottom of the display and
as the toasting cycle progresses,
the bar will gradually reduce in
length.

●

To stop toasting at any stage,
press the ‘cancel’ button .

Never lift the lever to cancel
toasting.

●

To toast frozen bread, press the
‘defrost’ setting  before

lowering the bread carriage.

DEFROST will appear in the

display.

●

To warm toast that’s popped up

but gone cold, press the 'reheat'
button  before lowering

the bread carriage. REHEAT

will appear in the display.

4 Your toast will pop up

automatically and an audible
sound will be heard. To raise the
toast higher, lift the lever .

●

If the toaster is connected to the
power supply but not used for
approximately 5 minutes the
display will remain on but the blue
back light will go out. This will
come back on when the lever  is
lowered or a function button is
pressed.

hints on using your
toaster

●

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 you wait
a minimum of 30 seconds
between each toasting so that the
control can automatically reset.
Alternatively select a lower setting
when additional toasting is carried
out.

to use the warming
rack (TT505 series only)

1 Place the warming rack over the

centre of the toaster.

2 Put your food on the rack (slice

thick items in half to stop their
outsides burning). Watch to make

safety

●

Burnt food can catch fire, so:

●●

never leave your toaster on
unattended;

●●

keep your toaster away from
anything (eg curtains) that could
catch fire;

●●

set the browning control lower for
thin or dry bread;

●●

never warm food with a topping or
filling (eg pizza): if it drips into the
toaster, it could catch fire.

●

To avoid electric shocks, never:

●●

let the toaster, cord or plug get
wet; or

●●

put your hand or anything metal,
eg a knife or foil, into the toaster.

●

Always unplug the toaster when
not in use, before cleaning or
attempting to clear jammed bread.

●

Never cover your toaster with a
plate or anything else - it could
overheat and catch fire.

●

Never let the cord hang down
where a child could grab it - clip
excess cord into the cord storage
clips in the base.

●

This toaster is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.

●

Never touch hot surfaces
especially the metal top area.

●

Never use an unauthorised
attachment.

●

Never use a damaged toaster. Get
it checked or repaired: see 'Service'.

●

This toaster is for domestic use
only.

●

Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

warming rack

(TT505 series only)

●

Never set the browning control
higher than 4 when using the
warming rack.

●

Never completely cover the
warming rack – the toaster could
overheat and catch fire.

●

When using the warming rack,
never wrap the food up. Plastic
wrapping will melt and could catch
fire. Foil will reflect heat, damaging
the toaster.

●

If you’re using the toast slots
remove the warming rack so it
can’t burn you and never touch the
hot areas of the bun warming rack.

before plugging in

●

Make sure your electricity supply is
the same as the one shown on the
underside of your toaster.

important - UK only

●

The wires in the cord are coloured
as follows:

●

European Economic Community
Directive 89/336/EEC.

before using for the first
time

●

Remove all packaging and any
labels.

●

Operate the toaster once on
setting 3 without bread. (The lever
will not stay down unless the
toaster is plugged in).

●

As with all new heating elements,
your toaster may emit a slight
burning smell when it is first
switched on. This is normal and
not a cause for concern.
