Functions
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, remove any packaging material or promotional labels attached
to your toaster.
-
Remove and safety discard any packaging material, promotional labels, and tape from the cooker.
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 odor on initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster. -
Place bread, crumpet, fruit bread, bagel or half an english muffin into toasting slot. Ensure items for toasting are not too long or too thick to fit in the toasting slots. The BTA825 and BTA830 have a single BROWNING CONTROL slide and a row of function buttons that simultaneously control the two toasting slots. The BTA845 has dual independent controls allowing each pair of slots to work independently so you can simultaneously toast to different preferences.
-
Select the toast setting by adjusting the BROWNING CONTROL slide on the front of the toaster.
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 odor on initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster. The toast settings range from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest). The LED progress indicator will illuminate in red and align to the selected toast setting. -
To start the toasting process, press the TOAST/CANCEL button on top of the toaster. The TOAST/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red and the carriage will automatically lower into the toasting position and start the toasting cycle. As the carriage automatically locks into position, the LIFT & LOOK™ button surround will illuminate in white and the LED toasting progress indicator (above the selected browning setting) will flash and start to gradually count down (towards the left) indicating the toasting progress.
-
The LIFT & LOOK™ button can be pressed up until 10 seconds before the end of the toasting cycle to view the browning of the bread. When selected, the LIFT & LOOK™ button surround will flash and the LED toasting progress indicator will remain steady (indicating that the selected browning setting has not been interrupted by the carriage rising). The toasting recommences immediately as the carriage lowers and locks into position, and as indicated by the LIFT & LOOK™ button surround illuminating and the LED toasting progress indicator flashing.
-
Approximately 10 seconds before the end of the selected browning setting, the LIFT & LOOK™ button will cease illumination. As the toasting stops and the carriage rises, the TOAST/CANCEL button surround will flash and the LED toasting progress indicator will cease flashing. The LED toasting progress indicator will re-illuminate to the previously selected browning setting.
-
Once the toasting cycle has completed and the carriage has risen and locked into the raised position, the toast-ready alert will sound. Remove the toast. The TOAST/ CANCEL button surround will re-illuminate in white for up to 30 seconds, ready for the next toasting cycle.
NOTE
The toaster will revert to standby mode after 30 seconds if a BUTTON is not
pressed or the slide is not adjusted. All button surrounds and LED toasting
progress indicators will cease illumination.
NOTE
The toaster will re-activate from stand-by mode and the TOAST/CANCEL button
surround and LED toasting progress indicator will illuminate when:
- Any of these buttons are pressed (except the TOAST/CANCEL button which will start the toasting process).
- The BROWNING CONTROL slide is moved.
- The power at the power outlet is turned off then on again.
WARNING
Do not leave the toaster unattended when in use as toast may jam. In the
unlikely event that bread, crumpets or muffins become jammed in the toasting
slots, all the button buttons and the LED toasting progress indicator will
flash and the elements will turn off. Switch the toaster off at the power
outlet, remove the power plug and allow the toaster to cool completely before
carefully easing the bread out of slots. Take care not to damage the elements.

discoloration to the toaster. If the toaster is exposed to oils or chemicals,
turn off and unplug the appliance and use a damp cloth to clean the surface of
the toaster. Dry thoroughly before use.
