17 When it's done, the toast will pop up, the light by the f button will go out, and the
elements will turn off.

extra lift
19 After toasting small items (crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be raised
further, to allow them to be removed more easily.

hints and tips

20 If you're toasting more than one slice of bread, make sure the slices are of similar
size, thickness and freshness, otherwise they'll brown differently.
21 Old (yesterday's) bread contains less moisture than fresh bread, so makes crisper
toast.
22 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so you should use a lighter
setting.
23 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.

care and maintenance

1 Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down before cleaning and storing away.
2 Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
3 Don't let anything enter the slots, you might damage the elements.
4 Don't put the toaster in water or any other liquid.
5 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
crumbs
6 Crumbs will collect in the base of the toaster. Letting them build up is unhygienic,
and could cause a fire hazard, so remove them frequently.
7 Unplug the toaster and let it cool down fully. Pull the crumb tray out and empty it.
Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly, then slide it back into the toaster.
8 Don't use the toaster unless the crumb tray is in place and closed.
