hints and tips

•When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.

•Old (yesterday’s) bread makes crisper toast than fresh bread, as it contains less moisture.

•Old or thin bread will cook faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.

•Don’t use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread as these may jam the ejection mechanism and could catch fire.

•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

First – unplug the toaster and let it cool down fully.

Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid. Don’t let anything enter the slots, as this might damage the elements.

Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. Don’t put the toaster in water or any other liquid.

crumbs

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.

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.

Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is in place and closed.

connection

The product must be earthed. It has a 13A BS1362 fuse in a 13A BS1363 plug. To replace the plug, fit the green/yellow wire to E or E, the blue wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Fit the cord grip.

If in doubt, call an electrician.

Don’t use a non-rewireable/moulded plug unless the fuse cover is in place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
