Functions

NOTE: This toaster is electronically controlled and will not operate until the toaster is plugged into a 220–240V power outlet. Before first use, remove any packaging material or promotional labels attached to your toaster.

1. Insert the power plug into a 220–240V power outlet. The Brownness Indicators will illuminate from ‘0’ to ‘6’, and then align to the selected browning setting (indicated by the position of the Brownness Dial and Brownness Indicators).
   The toaster will revert to stand-by mode (Brownness Indicators will dim) after a few minutes if a button is not pressed or the dial is not adjusted.
   NOTE: When using the toaster for the first time, we suggest toasting on the maximum setting without bread. The toaster may emit a thin smoke or distinct odour on initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster.

2. Place bread, crumpets, bagels, etc into each of the toasting slots. Ensure items for toasting are not too large or too thick to fit in the toasting slots.

3. Select the bread type in toasting slot using the Bread Selection Ring.
   NOTE: Various types of bread may require a different browning setting. For example, raisin toast and white light textured breads require less toasting time, while heavier textured rye breads may require more toasting time. Changing the Bread Selection Ring accommodates for these changes (removes the guess work) without changing the Brownness Selection Dial so you always have the same browning no matter what the bread type.

4. When using the Brownness Selection Dial, align the needle with the desired browning setting ‘0’ (lightest) to ‘6’ (darkest). Indicators will illuminate and align to the selected browning setting.
   The Brownness setting is relative to each Bread Type so there’s no need to keep adjusting the setting for different bread types if you have the same brownness requirements.
   NOTE: When toasting bread for the first time, it is suggested to toast on browning setting ‘3’ (9 LED Indicators).

5. To start the toasting process, press the lever down until it locks into place. The Brownness Indicators will begin flashing at “0” then start to gradually count up indicating the level of brownness until it reaches the browning setting.

6. Once the toasting cycle is complete the carriage will move to the raised position. Remove the toast. The brownness indicator will re-illuminate to the previously selected browning setting for a few minutes before entering stand-by mode.

NOTE: To re-activate the toaster from stand-by mode, press any button or adjust the Brownness Dial. The Brownness Indicators will re-illuminate.

WARNING Do not leave the toaster unattended when in use as toast may jam. In the unlikely event that bread, bagels, English muffins or toaster pastries become jammed in the toasting slots, all the buttons and the LED toasting indicators will flash and the elements will turn off. Remove the power plug from the power outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely before carefully easing the bread out of the slots. Take care not to damage the heating elements. Do not use metal utensils.

A BIT MORE™
If your toast comes up too light, one press of this button adds a little extra toasting time.
This feature can be selected before, during or after the toasting cycle and can be used with all Bread Types and FROZEN functions.

To use this feature during the toasting cycle:
Press the A BIT MORE™ / REHEAT button.
The button surround will illuminate white when selected. The toasting time will automatically increase but will not illuminate more Brownness Indicators. The A BIT MORE™ / REHEAT function can be cancelled by pressing the A BIT MORE™ / REHEAT button again and the original toasting cycle will continue.

To use this feature before or after the toasting cycle:
Press the A BIT MORE™ / REHEAT button.
The button surround will illuminate white when selected. Press the lever down until it locks into place. The Brownness Indicators will automatically align with the lowest browning setting then flash and count down for the additional browning time.

REHEAT
If your toast has popped up & gone cold, Press A BIT MORE™ / REHEAT button to warm it up again.

BREAD TYPE SELECTION
The bread selection feature changes the total toasting time for each bread type, so you can achieve the same brownness setting across different bread types.
To toast different bread types

1. Place the bread into the toasting slots.
2. Adjust the Bread Selection Ring to bread type in the toasting slots, ensuring the pointer aligns with the selected setting.
3. Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the Brownness Selection Dial. Brownness settings range from ‘0’ (lightest) to ‘6’ (darkest).
4. To start the toasting process, press the lever down until it locks into place.

CRUMPET SELECTION
The crumpet selection in addition to adjusting the total toasting time activates additional heat to the middle heating elements to perfectly toast the insides of your crumpets or bagels without burning the outsides.
To toast crumpets or bagels:

1. Place the crumpet or bagel into the toasting slots with the inside of the crumpet or bagel facing inwards as per the crumpet & bagel markings above the middle heating elements of the toaster.

2. Adjust the Bread Selection Ring to CRUMPET, ensuring the pointer aligns with the CRUMPET setting.

3. Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the Brownness Selection Dial. Brownness settings range from ‘0’ (lightest) to ‘6’ (darkest).
   CRUMPET & BAGEL SETTINGS

4. To start the toasting process, press the lever down until it locks into place.

NOTE: It is normal for the outside heating elements to appear off or on a lower power during the Crumpet setting. This ensures the inside of your crumpet toasts without burning the outside.

FROZEN BUTTON
This feature activates additional toasting time required to toast frozen bread.

To toast frozen bread:

1. Place the bread into the toasting slots.
2. Adjust the Bread Selection Ring so that the pointer aligns with the bread type you’ve inserted in the toasting slots.
3. Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the Brownness Selection Dial. Brownness settings range from ‘0’ (lightest) to ‘6’ (darkest).
4. To select the FROZEN setting, press the FROZEN button and the button surround will illuminate white.
5. To start the toasting process, press the lever down until it locks into place. The toasting time will automatically increase.
6. After the cycle has finished, the FROZEN button will turn off.

NOTE: The FROZEN function can be cancelled by pressing the FROZEN button again and the original toasting cycle will continue.

A QUICK LOOK™ LEVER
This feature lets you raise & lower the carriage so you can check the toasting progress without interrupting and/or cancelling the toasting cycle. During the toasting cycle, simply lift the lever to view the toasting progress. Lower the lever to continue the cycle or press the CANCEL button to stop the cycle at any time.

HIGH LIFT LEVER
The lever can be lifted approximately 2cm above the starting position. This raises the carriage making it easier to remove smaller items such as English muffins, crumpets or bagels.

Care & Cleaning

1. Switch the toaster off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
2. To clean any crumbs from the toaster, remove the crumb tray (located under the control panel at the front of the toaster) by pulling it outwards. Empty and replace the crumb tray before using the toaster again. Replace the crumb tray by sliding it inwards until it locks into position.
3. To remove any additional crumbs caught inside, turn the toaster upside down over a bin and shake gently to free the crumbs.
DO NOT bang the toaster, this may damage the elements or carriage mechanism.
4. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a slightly dampened soft cloth and then dry it with a soft dry cloth to dry completely.

NOTE: Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts creating an electric shock hazard and damage the finish of the toaster.

STORAGE
Switch toaster off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Allow the toaster to cool completely before storing. Follow the directions for cleaning and store in an upright position on a flat surface on a bench top or in an accessible cupboard.
Do not store anything on top of the toaster.

WARNING: Do not use the toaster without the slide-out crumb tray in position. Do not allow crumbs to build up in the crumb tray. Failure to clean the crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard.
