CONTROL PANEL
REHEAT FUNCTION (Refer to Pg 5)
If left for too long after toasting, the bread may become cold. It may be
reheated by pressing the loading handle down and pressing the reheat button to
activate the
reheat function.
DEFROST FUNCTION (Refer to Pg 5)
When using bread straight from the freezer, the defrost function may be used.
Set the browning control to the desired browning position and press the
loading handle down. After the loading handle has been pressed down, press the
defrost button.
Ensure to watch the bread in case of burning.
CANCEL BUTTON (Refer to Pg 5)
The Cancel button will immediately stop your toasting cycles. Once pressed,
all elements will cease heating and your bread/toast will pop back up.
TOASTER OPERATION
-
Operate the toaster twice on a light setting with no bread to disperse the initial element burning smell. Make sure the room is well ventilated. Once this step has been completed, do not use the toaster without bread slices occupying toaster slots as overheating may occur.
-
Place two slices of bread in the bread slots and press the handle down until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster and the toasting cycle will begin.
NOTE: The handle will not latch if the unit is not connected to the mains, and may not latch if the browning control is set to its minimum position. -
If the toast starts to burn or smoke before it has popped up, toasting can be stopped by pressing the ‘Cancel’ button.
-
If you should and that the toast is not dark enough you may wish to toast the bread again. Turn the browning control down and keep a careful eye on the toaster to ensure that the toast does not burn. Remember to increase the browning control setting for subsequent operations. If the toast is too dark, reduce the browning control before toasting the next slice.
NOTE: Remember that dry or thin slices will toast quicker than moist or thick slices. Using a lower browning control setting for thinner slices is recommended. When
toasting two slices at the same time, try to use the same size and consistency of bread to achieve equal browning. -
When toasting has finished the handle will rapidly rise to the fully raised position. The toasted bread can now be removed and the toaster is ready to recommence toasting.
-
Avoid using the toaster in the maximum browning control setting. Most bread toast well below the 4 settings.
-
For Reheat, Cancel and Defrost functions, please refer to page 6.
TOASTING NOTES & INFORMATION
- Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread.
- Moisture levels differ from one bread to another which can result in varying toasting times.
- For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
- For fresh bread or whole wheat, use a higher setting than normal.
- Bread with very uneven surfaces will require a higher setting.
- Thickly cut pieces of bread (including crumpets) may take signi cantly longer to toast since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
- When toasting raisins or other fruit bread, remove any loose raisins from the surface of the bread before placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster, sticking on the guard wire in the slot, or burning inside the toaster.
8. Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
CLEANING & CARE
Ensure the power is set to OFF and the unit has been allowed to cool. Be sure to remove the mains plug from the power outlet before proceeding to clean your toaster
- The exterior of your toaster may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and polished with a dry soft cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cloths or cleaning agents.
- Dispose of crumbs by sliding out the removable crumb tray and emptying. Regular cleaning of the crumb tray is required as the accumulation of crumbs may pose a hazard.
- Additional cleaning and/or disposal of crumbs may be achieved by turning the appliance upside down over the sink whilst gently shaking. Any additional debris or crumbs should fall out and can be washed down the sink.
