Hints & tips for perfect toasting
•For best results ensure the bread slices are of even thickness, freshness and size.
•Stale bread toasts more rapidly than

fresh bread. Therefore, the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
•Thin bread toasts quicker than thick.
•In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the control automatically resets.
•If toasting one slice only, you may need to adjust the browning control to a slightly lower setting.
•You may notice a slight variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice.
•All sorts of bread can be used as well as teacakes, small rolls etc. Slices should not however be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the bread slots.
•When toasting more than one slice it is recommended they are of equal size and freshness.
Crumb trays E
WARNING: Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if not emptied regularly.
When the toaster has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the case lightly to dislodge any crumbs lodged in the toasting chamber and remove the crumb trays „. Empty the tray and replace it.
Never operate the toaster without the crumb trays fitted.
