hints on using your toaster

Select a lower setting for light browning or for dry bread.
When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a variation in toast colour from one side to the other – this is normal.
Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread and thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even thickness, freshness and size.
In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the control can automatically reset. Alternatively select a lower setting when additional toasting is carried out.

warming rack safety

Never touch hot surfaces especially the metal top area.

Never set the browning control higher than when using the warming rack.
Never completely cover the warming rack.
When using the warming rack, never wrap the food up. Plastic wrapping will melt and could catch fire. Foil will reflect heat, damaging the toaster.
If you are using the toaster slots, always remove the warming rack so it cannot burn you.

to use the warming rack (if supplied)

Place the warming rack on top of toaster 3.
Put your bread items on top of the rack (slicing thick items in half will speed up the warming process).
Set the browning control no higher than . Lower the lever.
The lever will automatically rise at the end of the warming cycle. Turn the items over and repeat the operation.
Watch to make sure they do not burn.
To remove the warming rack, allow the toaster to cool and unplug. Lift off the warming rack 4.
