Please read before use, taking careful note of points 1 and 2.
1.Use your toaster once without bread. This will pre- heat the new elements and burn off any dust that may have accumulated during storage.
2.Select the desired level of browning on the browning control (6) marked 1 to 6. The setting required will vary according to the moisture content and thickness of bread. For best results ensure that the bread slices are of even thickness, freshness and size. Remember that stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh and thin bread toasts quicker than thick. See additional points for more information.
3.After selecting the desired browning level, place your bread in the bread slots and depress the bread carriage lever (2) downwards until it locks.
Note: The bread carriage lever will not stay down unless the toaster is plugged in and the mains switch is on.
4.After the set degree for browning has been reached, the bread will
element will have switched off, ready for the next toasting.
•If the first slices are not dark enough turn the browning control to a higher setting.
•If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed disconnect your toaster at the mains power supply, allow it to cool, then remove the bread by turning the toaster upside down. Do not insert any objects into the toaster.
•When not in use, switch your toaster off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket. DO NOT WRAP THE CABLE AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF THE APPLIANCE DURING OR AFTER USE.
Using the cancel setting
If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press the cancel button (3).
Using the high lift release
If small bread is toasted, this may be removed more easily by lifting the bread carriage lever (2).
Using the defrost button
To toast frozen bread, do not adjust the browning control, place the bread normally in the bread slot, depress the bread carriage lever and press the frozen bread button (4). The button will illuminate and the toaster will automatically toast for an extended period.
Using the Crumpet function
To toast one side of a crumpet or bagel, place the bread normally in the bread slot, depress the bread carriage lever and press the crumpet button (5). The button will illuminate indicating this function is in operation.
Crumb tray
Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray (7) and could cause a hazard if not emptied periodically. When the toaster has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the case lightly to dislodge any crumbs
lodged in the toasting chamber and pull out the crumb tray. Empty the tray and replace it.
NB! Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray fitted.
Additional points
In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting, so that the control can automatically be reset.
If toasting one slice only, you may need to adjust the browning control to a slightly lower setting.
•Note you will also notice a slight variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice.
•Stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh bread. The browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
•All types of bread can be used, as well as teacakes, and small rolls etc. Slices should not however be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the bread slot.
•Allow the toaster to cool fully before storing away.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1.After use and before cleaning, switch off at the mains, remove the plug from the mains power supply and wait for the toaster to cool.
2.Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth only and dry with another cloth or tissue.
3.NEVER use coarse scouring agents, and never immerse your toaster in any liquid.
4.NEVER use any pointed or sharp articles for cleaning the inside of the toaster otherwise the heating element will be damaged.
5.NEVER use a brush or push your fingers or metal objects down the slots.
