Instructions For Use
Before First Use
Remove all packaging from the product and unwind the power cord.
Check that the crumb tray is in place.
Check that the toaster slots are empty.
Plug the power cord into the mains socket and switch on.
Before first use, we recommend that you set the browning level to 6 using the
control dial and operate the toaster without any bread to burn off any dust
from the new elements. There may be a distinctive smell – this is quite
normal.
Toasting
Your toaster has been specially designed with an extra wide, extra deep
toasting carriage to accommodate and evenly toast most types of breads.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever is
in the up position.
On the 4 slice toasters the pairs of toasting slots are independently
controlled, so you can select different browning settings for each pair of
slots.
-
Select the browning level using the control dial (1 is the lightest and 6 is the darkest setting). You can select a position part way between the settings for total control. NB. Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread, therefore differences in moisture levels from one bread to another can lead to varying toasting results.
-
Insert slice(s) of bread.
NB. Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guides. -
Press the toasting lever(s) down until it locks into position. It will only lock into position if the toaster is connected to the mains socket.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
The lever can be raised further to allow you to remove smaller breads e.g. bagels, crumpets more easily.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it has finished, simply press the ‘Cancel’ button(s). -
After use, unplug the toaster from the mains socket.
Defrost Setting
The Defrost setting is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread in
one automatic cycle.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever is
in the up position.
Select the browning level using the control dial.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the ‘Defrost’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is
activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
Reheat Setting
The reheat setting allows you to reheat your toast without further browning or
toasting.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever is
in the up position.
Insert slice(s) of toast. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
Press the lever down until it locks into position. It is not necessary to
adjust the browning control.
Press the ‘Reheat’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is
activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
The Reheat cycle lasts approximately 30 seconds. When the cycle is complete,
the toaster will automatically raise the bread. Bagel Setting The Bagel
setting adds extra time to the toasting cycle to accommodate the thickness of
bagels, rolls, muffins and thicker breads.
Slice your bagel into 2 equal halves. Place each half into one of the slots.
Select the browning level using the control dial.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the ‘Bagel’ button(s). The red light indicates the feature is activated.
NB. The button can only be activated once the lever is down.
NB. If you wish to defrost bagels, ensure the defrost button is also
pressed. This will extend the toasting cycle further.
NB. If you wish to reheat bagels, ensure the bagel button is pressed
first, followed by the reheat button.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bagel(s).
Toasting – Hints & Tips
- For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
- For very fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
- Breads with very uneven surfaces will require a higher toast setting.
- Thick cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can begin. Very thick pieces may even require 2 cycles.
- Sweet bread products e.g. tea cakes, fruit loaf etc. brown more quicklythan ordinary bread, so it is best to use a lower setting.
- When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins etc. from the surface of the bread before toasting. This will help to prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot.
- If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning setting at a lower level than normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber, so by lowering the heat for a single slice, you will not over toast.
- It is possible to use the toaster for toasting pastries. You should only use pastries which are specifically designed for use with a toasting, and you should always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the pastry. Take extra care when toasting pastries. The filling can become very hot long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
Crumb Trays
The toaster is equipped with removable crumb trays to collect crumbs during toasting. We recommend that the crumb trays are removed and emptied on a regular basis.
To empty, locate the trays which are fitted in the base of the toaster. They can be accessed from the rear of the toaster.
Pull the cover on each tray, and the tray(s) will slide out. Discard the crumbs and replace by sliding back into position. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Always disconnect the toaster from the mains immediately after use and allow
to cool completely before cleaning.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or place in a
dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth
and dry thoroughly. Always apply any cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the
toaster.
To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster
upside down and gently shake.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster.
IMPORTANT Never insert any hard, sharp or metal instruments into the
slots as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
