Before using the toaster for the first time operate the toaster without bread in a ventilated room.

•The bread carriage levers ¤ will not stay down unless the toaster is connected to the mains supply.

•As with all new electric heating elements, your toaster emits a ‘new’ smell when it is first switched on which is quite normal.

Toasting

The 4-slice toaster has two sides with controls repeated for each half. Each half can be used together or independently.

1Select the desired level of browning on the browning control ﬂ marked 1 to 9. The setting required will vary according to the moisture content and thickness of the bread.

2After selecting the desired level, place your bread in the slots ⁄ and depress the bread carriage lever downwards until it locks.

3After the set time has been reached the bread will pop up automatically ready for

removal from the slots. The bread carriage lever will have returned to its upper position and the heating element will have switched off.

•If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed disconnect your toaster at the socket, allow it to cool, then remove the bread.

•When not in use, remove the plug from the mains socket.

•Allow the toaster to cool fully before

putting away.

WARNING: Do not wrap the cable around the main body of the appliance during or after use.
