Using your Alinea^TM Toaster

Toasting Bread

1. Position the bread into the bread slot.
2. Select the desired browning setting using the Browning Control.

Note: If toasting 1 slice or 2 slices, it is recommended that you use a lower browning setting to achieve your required result and to prevent burning.

Do not toast stale bread, rice crackers or similar on a high setting as there is a chance that they may catch fire.

3. Push the Toasting Lever down to commence the toasting cycle.
4. When the desired browning is achieved, the toaster will automatically stop toasting and pop the toast up.
5. If you need to remove the toast before the cycle is complete, press the Cancel button. The Cancel button will immediately interrupt the toasting cycle and pop the toast up.

This symbol indicates temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating and for some time after use.

Toaster Functions

Cancel button

The Cancel button immediately stops any of the toasting cycles. As a consequence of this, the toast will pop up.

Reheat button

Press the toasting lever down and turn the dial to the Reheat setting.

Defrost feature

The Defrost feature can be used to toast your frozen bread. The colour of your toast will brown according to the toasting setting you have chosen. To activate this feature, turn the dial to the Defrost setting.

High-lift lever

When toasting small pieces of bread, crumpets or muffins we recommend using the High-lift lever to prevent you from burning your fingers.

QuickCheck^TM feature

If you need to quickly check the progress of your toast without stopping the toasting cycle, use the QuickCheck^TM feature. Simply lift up the toasting lever to view the toast and then release when you have finished. If the toast is ready press the Cancel button.

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.
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do not force them into the toaster.
• 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 toasting 1 slice or 2 slices, it is recommended that you use a lower browning setting to achieve your required result and to prevent burning.
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch the power off, remove the plug from the power outlet and ease the bread out of the toaster.

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

Care and Cleaning

Always turn the power OFF and remove the plug from the power outlet after use and before cleaning your toaster.

To clean the toaster exterior

Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use metal scourers or abrasives as this may scratch the exterior surface.

Removable crumb tray

To remove the crumbs, simply pull tray out, empty and place it back in the toaster.

Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may cause a potential fire hazard.

To clean the toaster interior

Clean inside the toaster regularly. To do this, unplug the appliance, turn it upside down over the sink and gently shake all the crumbs out.
