General Safety Instructions

Read all instructions in this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are

Electrical safety and cord handling

• Voltage: Before first use, make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency

correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label and your wall
outlet is properly earthed.

switching on the appliance.

• Power cord: The length of the power cord can be adjusted. For safety
reasons, adjust the cord to the shortest length possible between the base and
the outlet. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or benchtop or
touch hot surfaces. Keep it away from any heat sources.

• No extension cord: Do not use this toaster with an extension cord.

• Disconnect: Unplug the toaster from the outlet when it is not in use and

before cleaning. Do not pull on the cord; always pull the plug to disconnect.

• No timer: The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.

Usage conditions and restrictions

Getting Started

Before first use

• Read all safety instructions on the previous pages.

• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made

sure your new toaster is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic
wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.

• Fully unwind the power cord and inspect it and the plug for damage. Do not

use the toaster if the cord or the toaster are visibly damaged or not working
properly. In case of damage, contact the after sales support line for advice
on replacement.

• Remove any adhesive labels and wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp

cloth. Make sure there is no packaging material remaining in the slots.

• Place the toaster on an even and heat-resistant surface. Do not place

the toaster where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, or near
combustible materials.

• Plug the toaster into an appropriate power point and switch on the outlet.

The power socket must be readily accessible so that in an emergency it can
be easily switched off and the toaster unplugged.

• Set the browning control to the maximum level, push down the toasting lever

and let your toaster heat up without any bread.

NOTE: Due to remnants from the manufacturing process burning off, you

may notice a slight burning smell or smoke when first using the
toaster. This is no cause for concern. Ensure good ventilation and
let the toaster complete a few toasting cycles until no more odour or
smoke is present.

• After a short cooling down period, your toaster is now ready for use. The

usage instructions start on the following page. All parts referred to in the
instructions are listed on page 7.

Instructions (Cont.)

Some tips for perfect toasting

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying bread. As moisture levels differ
from one bread to another, toasting times can vary.

• For slightly dry bread, use a lower browning setting.

• For fresh bread or wholemeal bread, use a higher setting.

• Bread products with a very uneven surface (such as English muffins) will
require a higher setting, or press the Bagel button for perfect results.

• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly
longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before
toasting can occur.

• When toasting raisin or other fruit bread, remove any loose raisins from the
surface of the bread before placing the slices into the toaster. This will help
prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in
the slot.

• Single slice toasting: If you are toasting a single slice of bread, select a
lighter browning setting than usual. The toaster is designed to heat the
whole toasting chamber for two slices. By reducing the time for toasting a
single slice, it will not be over-toasted.

• This toaster has a built-in toast control lever rise. If toasted food does not clear
the top of the toaster, push up the toasting lever to raise the food up for easy
removal.

WARNING!

If bread becomes stuck inside the toaster, unplug the toaster and let it cool

down before trying to remove the bread. Do not use a knife or any other sharp

metal tool to do so, and do not touch the metal parts inside the toaster.

FAQs

Problem Solution

The toaster is not working. Check the power connection and ensure

the plug is properly inserted in the outlet.

Bread is stuck in the toaster. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.

Then carefully remove the slice or slices
from the toaster. You may need to hold the
toaster over a sink and shake it gently to
help loosen stuck bread. Do not use metal
objects to remove the bread. Do not touch
the metal parts inside the toaster.

If the food became stuck because it was
too thick, make sure to slice it a little thinner
in future.

The toast is too dark or too light. The selected browning level is too high or

too low. Select a different setting.

The toaster emits smoke. The selected browning level is too high for

the type of bread toasted. Press the Cancel
button to stop the toasting cycle.

Ensure the crumb tray is empty and clean.
Check to make sure no large crumbs are
caught in the slot. Turn the unplugged unit
upside down over the sink and shake gently
to remove any crumbs.

Bread ejects very quickly. Push down the toasting lever completely.

Make sure the power is switched on at the
outlet.

WARNING!

Never immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid for cleaning.

Water and liquids must never enter the toaster.

Never clean the inside of the toaster, as this may damage the heating elements.

FAQs (Cont.)

Toaster isn't working?

If you experience problems with your toaster, check the issues below to ensure
it is properly assembled before you return the appliance to the place of purchase
or phone our after sales support line.

Make sure your toaster is securely plugged in and the power is switched on at

the outlet. The toasting lever will not latch down if there is no power.

If you have recently cleaned the glass panel, make sure the panel is properly

installed:

• To remove the glass panel, hold the toaster with one hand and lightly tilt it
backwards. With the other hand, press the latch at the underside and gently
pull out the glass panel (see below left). Wipe the panel clean.

• To reinsert the glass panel, lay the toaster on its back, then hold the panel
by the latch and carefully slide it back into the grooves at the side until it
clicks securely into place.

IMPORTANT!

When reinserting the glass panel, you must ensure that it audibly "clicks"

securely into place, otherwise the toaster will not work.

When the panel "clicks" into place, a safety switch is activated

(see below right). This will ensure your toaster receives power the next time

you connect it to your electricity supply.

Gently pull out the glass panel in

arrow direction.

You must hear it "click" into place to

activate the safety switch (see arrow).

Care and cleaning

• Always disconnect the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool
before cleaning the toaster.

• Wipe the outside surfaces and the cord with a soft, dry or slightly dampened
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent.

• CAUTION: Never use a metal scouring pad, abrasive materials, metal polish, harsh

chemical cleaners or hard objects for cleaning any surface of the toaster.

• Remove crumbs after each use.

Cleaning the crumb tray

It is important that you remove and clean the crumb tray frequently to avoid the risk of
crumbs catching fire. The crumb tray is located underneath the heating elements and
can be pulled out from the side of the toaster opposite the browning control knob.

• Pull out the crumb tray completely, as illustrated on the right.

• Discard the crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a dry or damp cloth.

• To remove stubborn spots, use a nylon or plastic scouring pad dampened in
soapy water and squeezed almost dry.

• Make sure the tray is completely dry before
inserting it back into the toaster.

• Do not put the crumb tray in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the removable glass panel

The centre front of the toaster has a full view glass
window, which lets you monitor the toasting progress. The inner panel of this
window is removable.

• Hold the toaster with one hand and lightly tilt it backwards. With the other
hand, press the latch at the underside and gently pull out the glass panel, as
illustrated on the right. Wipe the panel clean.

• To reinsert the glass panel, lay the toaster on its back, then hold the panel by
the latch and carefully slide it back into the grooves at the side until it clicks
securely into place.

Storage

• Always let your toaster cool down completely
prior to storing, especially if it is stored in a tightly
enclosed space.

• Store the toaster with the cord wound up
underneath the base.
