Toasting Tips

Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread and, because moisture levels differ from one bread to another, toasting times can vary.
For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
Bread which has a very uneven surface will require a higher setting.
Thicker cut pieces of bread (including crumpets) will take longer to toast sometimes significantly longer. This is because more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require two toasting cycles.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins or fruit from the surface of the bread before putting it into your toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard wires in the toasting slot.
If your bread jams in the toaster, switch power off, remove the plug from the power outlet and ease the bread out of the toaster.
Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do not force them into the toaster. Single slice toasting
If toasting 1 slice it is recommended that you use a lower toaster setting to achieve your required browning and to prevent burning.

WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knifeor any other metal object, as contact with the live element may cause lectrocution.

Care and Cleaning

Always turn the power OFF and remove theplug from the power outlet after use and before cleaning your toaster.
To clean the exterior
The surface of the Toaster may be wiped overwith a damp cloth and polished with a softdry cloth. Take care not to knock or damage the paintwork, as this may result in areas
where the finish does not retain its originalcharacter. Clean the exterior of the productby wiping with a soft, lint-free damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use any polishing agents, chemicals, steelwool or abrasive cleaning products to clean the toaster surfaces as these can damage the appearance.
Removable crumb tray
To remove crumbs, simply lift the toaster off the crumb tray. Take the tray to the bin and brush off the crumbs into the bin. The toaster will not toast again until the tray has been placed underneath the toaster.
Important: Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may cause a potential fire hazard.
