BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the product making sure you keep all the packing material until all
the parts of the product have been found and the product has been used. We
recommend keeping all the packing material in a safe place in case at any time you
wish to re-pack the product for shipping purposes.
Place the appliance on a level and stable work surface.
Check the slots are empty.
Set the browning control to the highest setting (6).
Operate the toaster without bread, to cure the new elements.
They may smoke a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about – ensure the room is well
ventilated.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Toasting Bread
1. Sit the toaster upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
3. Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4. Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other
combustible materials, and watch it while it’s hot.
5. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
6. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
7. Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 25mm (1in)).
8. Press the lever down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the
electricity supply.
9. The light will glow and the elements will heat up
10. When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the light and the elements will go off.
Eject
11. To stop the toaster before it’s finished, press the button.
12. The toast will pop up, the light and the elements will go off.
Frozen Bread
13. This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
14. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the
lever, then press the button.
15. The light will glow, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to
give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
Reheating Toast
16. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the bread, lower the
lever, then press the button.
17. The light will glow, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then it’ll pop
up, and the light will go out.
18. You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
Bagel
19. Conventionally, only the brown crusty surfaces of bagels are toasted; the soft
inner surfaces are just warmed, not browned.
20. Split your bagel, and put the two halves into the slots with the
brown crusts facing the outside elements.
21. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, press the
lever fully down, then press the button.
22. The light will glow, the brown outsides of the bagel will
be toasted, and the cut sides will be warmed.
23. If you’re not conventional, and prefer your bagels toasted on the cut side, feel free
to put them into the slots the other way round – we won’t tell anyone!
Hints and Tips
24. When toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
25. Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
26. Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread – use a lighter setting.
27. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
Crumbs
28. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build-up of crumbs. This is
unhygienic, and it could cause a fire hazard.
29. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.
30. Slide the crumb tray out from underneath the toaster.
31. Empty it, wipe it with a damp cloth, dry it, then replace it in the toaster.
32. Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
