BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all packaging from inside the toasting slots. Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface. When you first use your toaster, there may be a slight odour as the heating elements warm up for the first time. This is normal and not a cause for concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
CONTROLS
Browning control
The browning control regulates how much the bread is toasted—in other
words, the colour of the toast. Lower settings produce lighter toast and
higher settings produce darker toast. When setting the browning control,
remember that dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and require a
lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread will require a higher setting.
Cancel button
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
High lift feature
The high lift feature uses the loading handle to help you to remove the toast.
When toasting has finished, simply lift the loading handle upwards from its
rest position to raise the toast and make
it easier to remove.
Frozen bread function
The frozen bread function allows you to toast bread straight from the freezer.
Insert the bread into your toaster, press the loading handle down and then
press the frozen bread button. Your toaster will extend the toasting time to
allow the bread time to defrost. Watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t
burn.
Reheat function
The reheat function will heat up toast that has cooled or gone cold. Press the
loading handle down then press the reheat button. Watch the toast to ensure
that it doesn’t burn. Don’t use the reheat function on buttered toast
USING YOUR TOASTER
- Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected, the darker the toast will be.
- Place the bread into the toasting slots. Press the loading handle down until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will begin.
- The loading handle will not latch if your toaster is not connected to the main supply.
- When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise and the toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast (figure 1).
- If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the browning control to a lower setting and watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
- Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button. If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning control to a lower setting than normal. By using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of bread, it will not be over-toasted.
IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS
Never use a knife or any other utensil or implement to remove jammed bread.
Never insert your fingers into the bread slots.
- Unplug the toaster from the main supply socket.
- Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
- Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being careful not to damage the heating element.
CLEANING
Clean the outside of your toaster with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Never
use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners.
CRUMB REMOVAL
It is important that crumbs are not allowed to build up inside your toaster.
Excess crumbs are unhygienic and could catch fire. Crumbs can be removed by
sliding the crumb tray out from the bottom of your toaster. You can then tip
the crumbs out. Always make sure that your toaster has completely cooled down
and is disconnected from the mains supply before removing crumbs. Never use
your toaster without
the crumb tray fitted—always replace the crumb tray before using your toaster.
