- CAUTION: Oversized foods, metal foil packages or utensils must not be inserted in the toaster, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
- Use only on an appropriate benchtop and indoors only, sitting away from flammable materials such as curtains, draperies and walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if comes in contact or becomes covered during operation.
- Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.

WARNING
Never operate the toaster on its side. Never add any food substance to the
bread crumpets or muffins as this can lead to electrocution or fire.
SPECIAL CORDSET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be tripped over unintentionally or pulled on by children.

FUNCTIONS
The BREAD TYPE function is designed to toast, or defrost (in conjunction with
the DEFROST setting) various types of bread based on their unique properties.
Some breads require more or less time due to density, sugar content, and other
factors.
The WHITE BREAD function is designed for soft, white sandwich breads. These
breads
are made mostly of refined white flour and are more commonly known as the
sliced, packaged varieties found in the supermarket bread aisle.
The CRUMPET setting activates additional heat to the outside heating element
to toast crumpet tops and lightly toast the base.
To toast crumpets, place the crumpets into the toaster with the tops facing
outwards.
A directional icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the correct way to insert your crumpet.
The RYE / BROWN & GRAIN functions are designed for unrefined, nutrient-dense breads made from 100% whole grains, or mostly whole grains, including varieties such as whole wheat, high fibre, oat, flax, etc.
The FRUIT BREAD function reduces the time of the toasting cycle, as fruit breads commonly contain more sugar and therefore less toasting is required to reach the desired shade.
Defrost
The DEFROST function is a longer cycle designed to first defrost and then
toast the bread to the desired browning shade. LED indicator will illuminate
when selected.
Single Slice
The SINGLE function generates balanced heat for even toasting on just one
slice of bread. NOTE: While both slots heat up, the heaters automatically
adjust time and intensity to ensure great results with even side-to-side
browning. LED will illuminate when selected.
QuickView™
The QUICKVIEW™ feature allows you to check on the toasting progress without
interrupting the cycle. Simply press the button during toasting to momentarily
lift the bread to observe the shade status. The bread will automatically lower
back down and continue toasting without interrupting the cycle.
NOTE: The QuickView™ function can be activated a maximum of three times during a toasting cycle. Operating the QuickView™ function more than once will affect the toast colour.
+30 Secs
The +30 SECS function allows you to extend the toasting time by 30 seconds.
If selected during toasting cycle:
-
The +30 Secs LED indicator will flash. Current shade countdown will be paused. Upon completion of the 30-second cycle, the originally selected browning shade cycle will resume.
If selected after toasting cycle has completed: -
The +30 Secs LED indicator will light and shade setting will disappear. Once toasting begins the +30 Secs indicator will flash until time has elapsed.
TIPS AND HINTS
Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in varying
toasting times.
- For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than normal.
- For very fresh bread, use the Rye / Brown setting.
- For breads with uneven surfaces, use the English Muffin setting.
- For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
- When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
For Best Results
- Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.
- Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
- Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven thickness.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
- Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
- To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, unplug the toaster, turn it upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
- Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
- Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
---|---|
Why won’t my unit turn on? | Make sure your unit is plugged into a functional |
outlet.
Why does the bread go up and down repeatedly and/or display shows an “E” while
my toaster beeps?| Your bread may have gotten caught. This happens most often
when the bread is too thick for the slot. Unplug the toaster, let it cool down
and check that the bread is not stuck and try running a toast cycle with no
bread.
If the issue persists, contact customer service via our website.
Why do both heaters turn on when I select Single Slice?| It is normal for both
heaters to turn on. They are internally programmed to adjust the intensity and
time when Single Slice is selected.
Can I add time during the toasting cycle?| Yes, you can add time to the
toasting cycle by increasing your shade level or pressing the +30 Secs button.
I can’t get my Memory settings to reset, what should I do?| Try following the
steps 1-3 on page 5 of this instruction booklet.
Make sure you are pressing the BREAD TYPE and MEMORY buttons while plugging the unit back in the outlet.
