STRUCTURE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

BEFORE FIRST USE

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information for future reference.

2. Remove all packaging materials, including those that may be inside the toasting slots or toasting lever slots.

3. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
   Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

4. Do not put the toaster, cord or plug in water.

5. Make sure the crumb tray is securely locked into place and the toasting lever is in the Up position.

6. Unwrap the power cord from the cord storage area on the underside of the toaster and plug into a 220-240V AC outlet.

7. Turn the browning selector dial to the lightest setting.

8. Lower the toasting lever until it locks into place. Operate without bread once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You may notice a light amount of smoke; this is normal and will stop as the heating elements continue to heat.

USING YOUR TOASTER

NOTE: Lowering the toasting lever closes the centering guides and holds the bread or food to be toasted centrally in the toasting slots.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock down unless the toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.

1. Make sure the crumb tray is securely locked into place and the toasting levers are in the Up position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots.
3. Place the toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface.
4. Plug the power cord into a mains outlet.
5. Turn the browning dial to the desired setting. To test toasting times for browning, it is best to use both toasting slots and position the browning dial between 3 and 4, and then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.
6. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing it into the toasting slots.
7. Insert bread or foods suitable for toasting into the toasting slots.
8. Lower the toasting lever until locked into place. The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread is lowered into position, toasting will begin.
9. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop up automatically.
10. Remove the bread from the toasting slot. Be careful when removing the bread, as the bread and the top of the toaster will still be hot.
11. To interrupt toasting, press the corresponding CANCEL button. NEVER attempt to interrupt toasting by lifting the carriage handle.
12. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.

BUTTONS:

Reheat Button: This button allows you to reheat your food without any extra browning or toasting.

Defrost Button: This button allows you to defrost and toast frozen bread.

Cancel Button: This button allows you to stop the toasting process.

NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the toaster is plugged in.
When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.

To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the toaster; always place it into the slots.

DO NOT change the browning level setting during the toasting cycle. First press the CANCEL button; then turn the Browning selector control to adjust the browning level. Lower the toasting lever and toast until the desired toast colour is achieved.

IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, as that may damage the heating element or cause injury.

TROUBLESHOOTING

and allow it to cool. Crumbs in the crumb tray may be causing the burning smell. Remove the crumb tray and empty over a bin. Refer to the ‘Cleaning and Care’ section of this manual for instructions on how to remove the crumb tray. There may be food debris caught in the heating element. Check inside and gently pry the crumbs out.
Why won’t the toast pop up after toasting is complete?| Your bread may be too soft. Try using bread that is slightly thicker or less pliable.
The browning dial will not operate.| There may be crumbs stuck in the socket. Unplug the toaster and try shaking it to dislodge any debris. If the browning dial still does not work, contact our Customer Support team.
