damp cloth.
2. Use the toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
3. Turn the browning control to the maximum position and press the breadlift
down. In this way you will burn off any dust that has fallen into the toaster
during production or transport.
During first use some smoke and smell may develop.
User hints & tips
• The first round of toast you make enables the heating elements to reach the
correct toasting temperature. Please note that further rounds of toast could
take less time.
• Please consider that the type of bread you use will impact the toasting
times. The fresher the bread you use, the longer it will take to toast.
Different kinds of bread have different moisture content and will require
different browning levels. For example, fruit breads generally toast much
quicker, and freshly baked breads will take longer as they have a greater
humidity content.
For best results:
• Toast only one type of bread at a time.
• Toast bread slices of the same thickness.
• Use bread slices no thicker than 30mm.
• If you are using handcut bread please try to cut slices as evenly as
possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.
• Be aware that if you use very thin slices of bread or broken bread they will
burn.
3.2 Operation
1. If necessary, shorten the cord by wrapping it under the base.
2. Plug in the toaster.
3. Insert the bread in the slot. Please note that as bread is not normally
square you may need to turn the bread on its side to get a better fit and
optimize the toasting surface area.
4. Choose the desired browning degree (Browning levels 1 to 6, from light to
dark) or the “Reheat function” .
5. Push the lever down until it clicks to activate the toasting cycle.
6. If needed, select the additional functions Defrost or Bagel or the two
combined.
The heating element is now activated. The bread will be centred in the
breadlift automatically for toasting.
7. The toasted bread will pop up automatically when the toast is ready.
8. If the toast is not brown enough and requires just a little extra time,
use the reheat button to extend the toasting time.
Warning
• If the appliance is not connected to the mains, the bread lift does not
lock.
3.3 Special functions

desired browning degree, press the breadlift down until it clicks, then push

increased to allow the bread to defrost and brown correctly. When the toast

removed from the toaster, take care not to burn yourself by touching the metal
parts.
Sandwich racks

TSSR02 Model suitable for TSF02 Toaster
The sandwich racks are ideal for toasting filled sandwiches, or for easy access of smaller items such as bagels.
User hints & tips
• Lightly butter the outside of the bread, this prevents burning and helps
with the warming of the filling. Do not butter the inside of the sandwich.
• For best results use thinly sliced ingredients and finely grated cheese.
• For best results use cold meat (ham, turkey etc.) at room temperature, not
straight from the refrigerator.
• Do not overfill the sandwich.
• If using a low browning setting the filling might not heat through
correctly. In this case, at the end of the toasting cycle, leave the toast
inside the cooking compartment for longer, or extend the time by using the
reheat button
Warning
• If the appliance is not connected to the mains, the breadlift does not lock.

little more browning is required, you can use the reheat button to extend the
toasting time.
