TOASTING TIPS
- Here are a few tips to help get the best out of your toaster.
- Different breads will toast at different rates, wholemeal bread takes longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread. Remember to adjust your browning control to allow for your particular type of bread.
- Your toaster is fitted with patented Perfect Toast Technology which calculates the temperature of your toaster and surroundings to derive the precise toasting time. After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be heated up, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast. You do not need to adjust your Browning Control.
- At any time during the toasting cycle you can lift the toasting lever and check the progress of the toasting.
- Use the bagel setting to toast burger buns, bagels, muffins or tea cakes, this setting toasts one side whilst gently warming the other.
- The thickest slice of bread that will fit in your toaster is 36mm thick. Forcing bread which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted and could cause burning. If jammed, unplug and allow to cool before removing the bread.
- You may find it easier to use a ‘sandwich cage’ to toast smaller items. Inserting and removing items will be easier (sold separately).
- You may need to reduce the Browning Control time (see page 10) when toasting one slice. There may be a slight variation in colour between each side. Equal size, thickness and freshness are recommended when toasting two slices. When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.
- Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may burn out the elements (see page 16 for Cleaning & Care).
- To reheat recently made toast set the browning control to 1.
- Cancel toasting manually at any time by pressing the cancel button on the browning control knob

RECIPE IDEA
SIGNATURE TOASTIE
- Medium sliced bread
- 2 Slices of Cheese (thinly cut)
- Sliced Tomato (thinly sliced) seasoned with Salt, Pepper and Oregano
- Rocket Leaves
- Spreadable Butter
- Butter the outside of two slices of bread and place one buttered side down on the cage.
- Place one slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread. Cover with a layer of seasoned tomatoes. Add a few leaves of rocket. Top with a second slice of cheese.
- Place the other side of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
- Toast for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Leave sandwich in the toaster for a further minute after toasting to allow cheese to melt fully.
- Enjoy your delicious toastie.
NOTE: Ensure the buttered side is on the outside against the sandwich cage. This slows down the toasting, allowing all the filling to heat and gives a delicious golden finish.
CLEANING & CARE
Switch toaster off, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the toaster cool down before you start cleaning it.
Wipe the outside of the toaster with a moist cloth and dry it with another cloth. Do not use a scouring pad or abrasive cleaner.
Use a soft brush to clean inside your toaster.
Do not insert any metallic or sharp utensils in to the toaster.
When the toaster has cooled completely, tap the sides of the toaster lightly
to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toasting chamber.
Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if the tray is
not emptied frequently. Pull out the crumb tray and wipe clean using a damp
cloth.
Store the cleaned toaster unplugged with the cord wrapped round the cord tidy
on the base of the toaster.
