before using for the first time

Before making toast for the first time, set the browning control to 6, and operate the toaster without bread, to burn off any dust etc. from the new elements. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

toasting bread

1Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat resistant surface, clear of curtains and other combustible materials. Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate sources of heat.

2 Plug the cable into the power socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.

3Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 28mm 18 inch).

4 Slide the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).

5 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the electricity supply.

6 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off automatically.

eject 5

To stop the toaster before it’s finished, press the 5 button. The toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off.

bagel b

The bagel button heats only the outer elements.

Split your bagel, put the two halves into the slots with the cut sides towards the outside elements.

Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the b button.

The cut sides will be toasted, the “outside” of the bagel will just be warmed.

reheating toast m

There’s no need to adjust the browning control. Insert the

toast, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the m button. The light at the side of the button will come on, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then pop up. You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.

frozen bread f

This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.

Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the f button. The light at the side of the button will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.

extra lift

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