Warning!
 This appliance is intended exclusively for use in domestic households. It is

not suitable for commercial use.

 Do not leave unattended during use. Bread can catch fire if overdone.
 Do not use toasters directly under cupboards as this may damage the

toaster and/or the cupboard. Always ensure a clear gap of at least 60cm
above the toaster.

 Do not cover and allow the toaster to cool fully before storing.
 Do not operate the toaster using a timer or separate remote control.
 The surfaces of the toaster may become hot; wear oven gloves when

handling the appliance during and immediately after use.

 Bread may burn, do not use the toaster on, near or under flammable

materials (e.g. curtains) or heat sensitive surfaces.

 Do not use without the crumb tray correctly fitted and closed completely.

Do not allow crumbs to build up in the tray, the crumb tray should be
cleaned regularly.

 Do not place foil wrapped food in this toaster and remove all wrappings from

food before toasting.

 Not suitable to toast bread and other foodstuffs coated or containing butter,

other spreads or containing sugar and jams.

 When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins from

the surface of the bread before placing in the toaster. This will help prevent
pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the slot.

 To prevent jamming do not use your toaster with torn slices of bread. Make

sure the size and thickness of the bread slices fit easily into the toast slots

Parts

To use

1. Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface and away from any
flammable materials.

2. Fully unwind the cable and plug in.

3. Select the degree of browning required by adjusting the browning control
knob. A lighter coloured toast will be obtained by selecting the lower settings
(1 & 2) and darker toast by selecting the higher settings (5 & 6).

4. After selecting an appropriate setting, place a slice of bread into each slot
and lower the toast by pressing down on the carriage handle. If the carriage
does not stay down, check that the toaster is switched on at the socket.

5. The toast will automatically pop up when the toasting time has been
completed. When using for the first time or changing bread types initially set
the browning control at 3 and it is advisable to check at intervals to see if the
desired browning level has been reached.

6. Toasting can be stopped at anytime by pressing the CANCEL button, or by
unplugging the toaster.

Notes:
 Before using for the first time it is advisable to let the toaster complete

several toasting cycles at the highest setting with no bread in the carriage.
Allow the toaster to cool down between cycles.

 If the toast starts to smoke, press the CANCEL button immediately.
 Dry thin slices of bread will toaster quicker than moist or thick slices and

should be toasted on a lower setting.

 For best results when toasting crust slices, insert the bread so the crust side

is nearest the outside of the toaster, and the cut side is nearest the middle of
the toaster.

 Turn the browning control knob to a lower setting if you are toasting a single

slice.

Cleaning.
Clean and empty the crumb tray on a regular basis. If the toaster is used
frequently then it is recommended this is done weekly.

1. Switch off and unplug the toaster and allow it to cool.

2. Wipe external surfaces with a soft damp cloth and polish with a soft dry
cloth. Do not use detergent or abrasives as these may scratch the surface.

3. Slide out the crumb tray from underneath the toaster, wipe clean and
replace.

4. If there are pieces of bread remaining inside the toaster, turn the toaster
upside down and gently shake.

5. Never touch the internal surfaces and always allow surfaces to fully dry
before using the toaster again.
