We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety
of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we
ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical
appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
• Before using for the first
time please ensure that
your electricity supply is the
same as shown on the rating
label on the underside of the
appliance. If you have any
concerns please contact your
local electricity company.
• Your Sage™ by Heston
Blumenthal
‰
appliance
includes a BS 13 amp
moulded mains plug on the
supply cord.
• Should you need to change
this plug, please complete the
rewiring as follows
(after safe disposal of the
moulded plug).
• Please note that a cut off plug
inserted into a socket is a
serious danger risk
• Wires are coloured as follows:
−Blue = Neutral
−Brown = Live
−Green & Yellow = Earth
• As the colours of the wire
may not correspond with the
coloured markings which
identify the terminals in
your plug, please refer to the
following:
−The Blue wire must be
connected to the terminal
which is marked ‘N’.
−The Brown wire must be
connected to the terminal
which is marked with the
letter ‘L’.
−The Green & Yellow wire
must be connected to the
terminal which is marked
with the letter E or the

PAge heAder.....WE RECOMMEND SAFETY FIRST
• Carefully read all instructions
before operating and save for
future reference.
• Remove and safely discard
any packaging material or
promotional labels before
using the toaster for the
first time.
• To eliminate a choking
hazard for young children,
remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the
power plug of this appliance
• Do not place the toaster near
the edge of a table, counter or
bench top during operation.
Ensure the surface is level,
clean and free of water.
• Do not place the toaster on
or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.
• Keep appliance clear of walls
and other heat sensitive
materials such as cloths
and curtains.
• Do not use the toaster on
sink drainboard.
• Always ensure the toaster is
properly assembled before
use. Follow the instructions
provided in this book.
• The appliance is not intended
to be operated by means of
an external timer or separate
remote control system.
• Bread may burn, therefore
this toaster must not be used
near or below curtains or
other combustible material
and it must be supervised at
all times when in use.
• Ensure that bread to be
toasted is the correct size for
the toaster and does
not protrude above the bread
slice opening. Ensure the
bread is not too thick or too
long that it will jam or wedge
the bread carriage.
• Never cover the toaster whilst
it is plugged into the power
outlet or while hot.
• Do not place toast directly on
top of toasting slots to warm
toast as this may prevent
correct air circulation
and damage the appliance.

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Before first use, remove any packaging
material or promotional labels attached to
your toaster.
1. Insert the power plug into a 230V
power outlet then turn the power
on. The TOAST/CANCEL button
surround will illuminate in white.
The LED toasting progress
indicator will illuminate in red
from left to right, then align to the
selected browning setting
(indicated by the position of the
browning control slide).
The toaster will revert to stand-by
mode after 30 seconds if a button is
not pressed or the browning control
slide is not adjusted.
NOTE
When using the toaster for the first
time, we suggest toasting on the
maximum setting without bread.
The toaster may emit a thin smoke
or distinct odor on initial use. This
is normal and not detrimental to the
performance of the toaster.
2. Place 1 slice of bread, 1 crumpet
or half a muffin only, into each of
the toasting slots. Ensure items for
toasting are not too large or too thick
to fit in the toasting slots.
The BTA820UK has a single browning
control slide and a row of function
buttons that simultaneously control the
two toasting slots.
The BTA840UK has dual independent
controls allowing each pair of slots
to work independently so you can
simultaneously toast to
different preferences.
3. Select the desired browning setting
by adjusting the browning control
slide on the front of the toaster.
The browning settings range from
'1' (lightest) to '5' (darkest). The
LED toasting progress indicator
will illuminate in red and align to
the selected browning setting (as
indicated by the position of the
browning control slide).
NOTE
When using the toaster for the first
time, it is suggested to toast on
browning setting '3'. Various types of
bread and personal preference may
require a different browning setting.
For example, raisin toast and white
light-textured breads may require a
lighter setting, whilst heavier textured
breads may require a darker setting.
4. To start the toasting process, press
the TOAST/CANCEL button on
top of the toaster. The TOAST/
CANCEL button surround will
illuminate in red and the carriage
will automatically lower into the
toasting position and starts the
toasting cycle. As the carriage
automatically locks into position,
the QUICK LOOK™ button surround
will illuminate in white and the LED
toasting progress indicator (above
the selected browning setting) will
flash and start to gradually count
down (towards the left) indicating
the toasting progress.

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
5. The QUICK LOOK™ button can
be pressed up until 10 seconds
before the end of the toasting cycle
to view the browning of the bread.
When selected, the QUICK LOOK™
button surround will flash and the
LED toasting progress indicator will
remain steady (indicating that the
selected browning setting has not
been interrupted by the carriage
rising). The toasting recommences
immediately as the carriage lowers
and locks into position, and as
indicated by the QUICK LOOK™
button surround illuminating and
the LED toasting progress
indicator flashing.
6. Approximately 10 seconds before
the end of the selected browning
setting, the QUICK LOOK™ button
will cease illumination. As the
toasting stops and the carriage
rises, the TOAST/CANCEL button
surround will flash and the LED
toasting progress indicator will
cease flashing. The LED
toasting progress indicator will
re-illuminate to the previously
selected browning setting.
7. Once the toasting cycle has
completed and the carriage has risen
and locked into the raised position,
the toast ready alert will sound.
Remove the toast. The TOAST/
CANCEL button surround will
re-illuminate in white for up to 30
seconds, ready for the next
toasting cycle.
NOTE
The toaster will revert to stand-by
mode after 30 seconds if a BUTTON
IS NOT pressed or the slide is not
adjusted. All button surrounds and
LED toasting progress indicator will
cease illumination.
NOTE
The toaster will re-activate from
stand-by mode and the
TOAST/CANCEL button surround
and LED toasting progress indicator
will illuminate when:
• Any of these buttons are pressed
(except the TOAST/CANCEL
button which will start the
toasting process).
• The browning control slide
is moved.
• The power at the power outlet is
turned off then on again.
WARNING
Do not leave the toaster unattended
when in use as toast may jam. In the
unlikely event that bread, crumpets or
muffins become jammed in the toasting
slots, all the button buttons and the
LED toasting progress indicator will
flash and the elements will turn off.
Switch the toaster off at the power
outlet, remove the power plug and
allow the toaster to cool completely
before carefully easing the bread
out of slots. Take care not to damage
the elements.
