BEFORE FIRST USE

Never force bread into the toasting slots. Bread should fit easily into the toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered. Take extra care when toasting items that contain sugar, jam or preserves, as there is a risk of the ingredients leaking into the toaster, causing overheating. Don't use bent, damaged or broken bread in your toaster as it may cause it to jam.

Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all packaging from inside the toasting slots.

Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Bread may burn therefore do not use the appliance near or below combustible materials such as curtains. Never use the toaster below wall cupboards or shelves.

Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface.

When you first use your toaster, there may be a slight odour as the heating elements warm up for the first time. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your toaster for the first time without any bread in it.

BROWNING CONTROL

The browning control regulates how much the bread is toasted—in other words, the colour of the toast. Lower settings produce lighter toast and higher settings produce darker toast.

When setting the browning control, remember that dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and require a lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread will require a higher setting.

LIFT & LOOK™

The progress of the toast can be checked at any time by lifting up the loading handle. This can be done without interrupting the toasting cycle.

CANCEL BUTTON

The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.

HIGH LIFT FEATURE

The high lift feature uses the loading handle to help you to remove the toast. When toasting has finished, simply lift the loading handle upwards from its rest position to raise the toast and make it easier to remove.

GLUTEN FREE FUNCTION

The gluten-free function offers a longer, slower toast that's suited to denser gluten-free bread. This function can be used in conjunction with any of the bread select functions and browning control. Select this function after you have selected the bread type and altered the browning control.

BREAD SELECT FUNCTION

The bread select function adjusts the toasting time for the type of bread selected. The bread select function has 6 settings - White, Brown, Grain, Fruit, Bagel and Crumpet. Select the bread inserted into the toasting slot and the toaster will adjust the toasting time accordingly for each type of bread, to the set browning level. The bread select function can be used in conjunction with the gluten free function and the browning control. After each use the toaster will be automatically set at the last function that was used. If the power is switched off the toaster will default to white bread.

TIME INDICATOR

The countdown timer on the toaster will indicate the time left until your bread reaches the desired level of browning. The length of time it takes for the bread to toast will vary depending on the selected bread type and browning control settings.

NOTE: If the selected bread function or browning level is changed during toasting, the lights and timer will automatically adjust themselves.

USING YOUR TOASTER

1. Place the bread into the toasting slots. You can use any or all slots. Press the loading handle down until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will begin. The loading handle will not latch if your toaster is not connected to the mains supply.
2. Set the level of toasting by selecting the correct bread on the bread select function in conjunction with the browning control, and gluten free button if required. The higher the number selected on the browning control, the darker the toast will be.
3. If after toasting the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Repeat the operation but turn the browning control to a lower setting and watch the toast to ensure that it doesn't burn.
4. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing 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 browning control setting than normal.
• For fresh bread use a higher browning control 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.

SINGLE SLICE TOASTING

If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning control to a lower setting than normal. By using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of bread, it will not be over toasted.

IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS

Never use a knife or any other utensil or implement to remove jammed bread. Never insert your fingers into the bread slots.

1. Switch the toaster off at the mains supply socket and unplug it.
2. Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
3. Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being careful not to damage the heating element.

CLEANING

Always switch off, unplug and allow the toaster to cool down before moving, cleaning or storing. Never immerse the toaster or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.

• Clean the outside of your toaster with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly.
• Never use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners.

CRUMB REMOVAL

It is important that crumbs are not allowed to build up inside your toaster. Excess crumbs are unhygienic and could catch fire.

Crumbs can be removed by sliding the crumb tray out from the bottom of your toaster. You can then tip the crumbs out. Always make sure that your toaster has completely cooled down and is disconnected from the mains supply before removing crumbs. Never use your toaster without the crumb tray fitted. Always replace the crumb tray before using your toaster.
