USING YOUR TOASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Unpack the Rapid Toaster, remove all of the packaging materials.
Position the toaster on a stable, level, heat resistant surface near a power socket.
Position the toaster as close to the wall socket as possible. Wind any excess cord around the cord storage area underneath the power base. Guide the cord length you require through the gap in the base.
When lifting the appliance ensure you fully support from underneath.
Wipe the outside of the toaster with a clean damp cloth, then dry it carefully.
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 variable control setting dial and operate the toaster without any bread to burn off any dust from the new elements, you may notice a burning smell. This is normal for a new heating element and will disappear after a few uses.
Switch off and unplug the appliance after use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNING!!
Never attempt to extract jammed toast, muffins or any other item with a knife or any other object, as contact with live elements may cause electrocution.
Allow the appliance to cool down, unplug and carefully remove the bread.

OPERATING TOASTER

Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on.
Place your bread or muffins into the bread slots.
Select the desired browning setting, from 1 to 7 with the variable setting control dial. Number 1 being the lightest and number 7 being the darkest.
When using the toaster for the first time we suggest you toast on number 3. Varying types of bread and personal preference may require a different browning setting.
Press the carriage control lever down until it clicks into place. The toasting cycle will automatically commence.
Please note: if the toaster is not plugged in and switched on at the socket the carriage control lever will not click down into place.
The toasting time remaining is indicated by the red lights under the variable setting control. The number of lights shown will decrease as the time remaining decreases.
Toaster turns off when the desired toast colour is achieved and automatically raises the toast. The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.

WARNING: If toasting small bread slices less than 8.5cm in length, you must pay attention to the potential risk of burning your fingers when taking out the slices.

TOASTING

Your toaster has been specially designed with a large toasting slots 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.
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 the slice(s) into the bread slot(s). Never force foods into the bread slots. Foods should fit freely between the slots.
Press the carriage control lever down until it locks into position. It will only lock into position if the toaster is connected to the mains and switched on.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it has finished, simply press the CANCEL button.
After use, switch off and unplug the toaster from the mains socket.

DEFROST SETTING

To toast frozen bread, the DEFROST setting is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread in one automatic cycle.
Select the browning level using the variable setting control.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and switched on.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the DEFROST button. The red light on the button indicates the feature is activated. Please note: 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

To reheat your toast, the REHEAT setting is designed to warm up already toasted bread in one automatic cycle.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and switched on.
Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Press the REHEAT button. The red light on the button indicates the feature is activated. Please note: the button can only be activated once the lever is down.
When the cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically raise the bread.
The browning setting does not effects the timing of this.

CRUMB TRAY

The toaster is equipped with a removable crumb tray to collect crumbs during toasting. We recommend that the crumb tray is removed and emptied on a regular basis.
To empty, switch off and unplug the toaster, locate the tray which is fitted in the base of the toaster, it can be accessed from the rear of the toaster.
Hold the black part of the crumb tray and slide out. Discard the crumbs and replace by sliding back into position.
To remove any remaining pieces in the toaster, turn it upside down and shake gently, over the sink, to enable them to drop out.
Never insert a knife or any sharp object in the toaster as this could cause damage.
DO NOT use the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
The crumb tray should be cleaned regularly.
DO NOT allow crumbs to build up in the tray.

In the unlikely event that the bread or crumpets etc. become jammed, switch the toaster off at the socket, unplug and carefully ease the bread out of the toaster, ensuring that you do not damage the element.

HINTS AND 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 will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can begin.
Sweet bread products e.g. tea cakes, fruit loaf etc. brown more quickly than 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 variable setting control 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why won’t the carriage control lever stay down?
Answer: It may not be plugged in and switched on at the socket. Check it is plugged in and switched on.
Question: Why has my toast burnt?
Answer: The bread may be dry, therefore requires a lower browning setting.
Question: Why is my toast not toasted?
Answer: The bread may be very fresh, therefore has a lot of moisture in the bread content, so will require a higher browning setting.

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before cleaning and storing.
Periodically check all parts before use.
Never immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid.
Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp soft cloth, and dry thoroughly. Always apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, not to the toaster.
Do not use harsh or abrasive, or alkaline cleaning agents or solvents.
To remove any crumbs from the toaster, slide out the crumb tray from under the toaster, empty and replace in the toaster before using it again.
The crumb tray should be cleaned regularly. Do not allow breadcrumbs to accumulate in the bottom of the toaster.
Do not insert any hard, sharp or metal utensils into the slots as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
Store the toaster with the power cable loosely coiled, never wrap it tightly around the toaster.

RECYCLING YOUR ELECTRICALS

UK distributors (including retailers) are required to provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.
As a responsible retailer, we have met these requirements by offering all customers buying new electrical and electronic equipment free take-back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
