Breville VTT676X Instructions For Use Manual page 5

BEFORE FIRST USE
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.
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 normal and not a
cause for concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your toaster for
the first time without any bread in it.
CONTROLS
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.
Cancel button
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel
button.
Lift-and-look feature
The lift-and-look feature allows you to check the progress of the toast
without cancelling the toasting process. Just lift the loading handle up
at any time during toasting and lower it again to resume toasting. If you
find your toast is cooked to your preference, press the cancel button to
stop further toasting (figure 1).
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
(figure 2).
Frozen bread function
The frozen bread function allows you to toast bread straight from the
freezer. Insert the bread into your toaster, press the loading handle
down and then press the frozen bread button. Your toaster will extend
the toasting time to allow the bread time to defrost. Watch the toast to
ensure that it doesn't burn.
Reheat function
The reheat function will heat up toast that has cooled or gone cold.
Press the loading handle down then press the reheat button. Watch the
toast to ensure that it doesn't burn. Don't use the reheat function on
buttered toast.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the
number selected, the darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting 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.
3. When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise and the
toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the loading handle
upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast
(figure 2).
4. If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the
browning control to a lower setting and watch the toast to ensure
that it doesn't burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel
button.
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. Unplug the toaster from the mains supply socket.
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
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 (figure 3). 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.
USING THE WARMING RACK
Use the warming rack to warm up bagels, croissant, etc.
1. Make sure that the loading handle is not in the latched (down)
position and fit the warming rack (figure 4).
2. Place the bagel, croissant, etc. onto the rack.
3. Set the browning control to 1 and press the loading handle down.
Never set the browning control higher than 1. If the item isn't
warmed enough, turn it over and repeat. Watch the item to ensure
that it doesn't burn.
WARNING The rack will become HOT during use—use caution when
fitting or removing the rack after use. Alternatively, allow it to fully cool
down before removal. ALWAYS remove the rack when making toast.
