Before Using For The First Time; Toasting Bread - Russell Hobbs 26210-56 Manual

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Set the browning level to maximum until all of the LEDs are lit.
2. Press the lever down then touch the Q icon. Allow your toaster to complete the toasting cycle
without any bread in it.
3. This will burn off any manufacturing residues on the elements and may smell or produce a little
smoke but it's nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
CONTROLS AND LED DISPLAY
To activate a function, touch its icon. The icon will light up brightly and the remaining icons will be dimly
lit to show that they are available for use.
The LED display shows the browning selection you have made using the browning control. The more
lights that are lit, the darker the toast will be. The lights will fade from dim to bright during the toasting
cycle.
Your toaster will revert to the standy mode if no controls are touched or settings changed within 5
minutes. You can also select standby mode at any time by touching the C icon.
COLOUR SENSE TECHNOLOGY
Toasting causes a chemical change called the 'Maillard Reaction' which not only browns the bread but
changes its flavour and texture. Traditional toasters heat the bread for a fixed length of time then eject it.
Increasing the time results in browner or darker toast. However, there are many variables that cause toast
to come out differently even if the same settings are used each time. These include things like the bread's
moisture content or its age or the thickness or surface texture or if your toaster is hot from a previous
toasting cycle. Any of these can cause the toast to be over or under done when relying on traditional
timer-based toasting.
Colour Sense technology continuously reads the surface temperature of the bread during toasting. Bread
surface temperature is linked to toast shade so when the bread reaches your desired shade, the toaster
will end the toasting cycle.
Note
Colour Sense technology is the default toasting mode. The toaster includes a traditional (timer based)
function for toasting non-bread items or breads with unique compositions.

TOASTING BREAD

1. Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the plug into the power socket. Your toaster will be in standby mode with only the C icon lit.
Touch the C icon to activate the controls.
3. Turn the browning control to the required setting. The LEDs will light to show the selection you have
made. The more lights that are lit, the darker the shade of your toast.
4. Put bread into the toasting slots.
5. Press the lever down fully.
6. The cancel icon Bwill light up, and the LED lights will fade up and down as the bread is toasted.
7. When it's done, the toast will pop up.
8. To stop toasting at any time touch the cancel Bicon.
Notes
• You can adjust the browning control at any time during toasting if you want to change the toast
shade.
• If you lower the shade setting to a point which has already passed in the toasting cycle, the toast will
pop up.
• Your toaster will remember the last browning setting you selected.
