voltage in your home.

3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the toaster and cause injury to

the user.

caused when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Set the browning level to maximum (all browning level lights on).

2. Operate the toaster empty, to cure the new elements.

ventilated.

POSITIONING

4. Place the toaster upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

5. Do not place it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate

heat.

6. Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other

combustible materials and watch it while it’s hot.

7. Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

TOASTING BREAD

8. Place the plug in the main power socket.

9. The toaster will first run through a self-check routine.

10. The first four browning level lights will light up.

11. Touch to lighten, or to darken the toast.

12. The browning level lights will go on/off to indicate the level chosen.

13. The more lights glowing, the darker the toast.

14. Place the bread into the toasting slot (maximum thickness 28mm).

15. Press the lever down fully, it won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the

electricity supply.

16. The browning level lights will count down:

a) the lights on the right, will flash, the lights to the left, will glow

b) the lights on the right will go out, the lights to the left, will flash

c) this will go on until all the lights are out

d) once they’ve all stopped glowing, the toast will pop up.

EJECT

17. To stop the toaster mid-cycle, touch

18. The light will glow, the toast will pop up, then the light will go out.

EXTRA LIFT

19. After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the lever may be raised further, to

allow them to be removed much easier.

FROZEN BREAD

20. This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.

21. Leave the browning control at your required setting, place the frozen bread into the

slot, lower the lever, then touch .

22. The light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give

the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.

REHEATING FUNCTION

23. Use the lowest setting (one browning level light glowing).

24. You may only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.

HINTS AND TIPS

25. If you toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and

freshness.

26. Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.

27. Old or thin bread, crisps faster than fresh or thick bread-use a lower setting.

28. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much quicker than ordinary

bread, so they too should be toasted on a lower setting.

unhygienic and is a potential fire hazard.

30. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.

31. Slide the crumb tray out from underneath the toaster, and empty it.

32. Wipe the crumb tray with a damp cloth, dry it, and then place it back in the toaster.

33. Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
