Take extra care when toasting items that contain sugar, jam, seeds, currants, etc. These
can melt or drop into the toaster and cause overheating or fire.
If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, and carefully remove the bread.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
4
PARTS
1. Toasting slots
2. Lever
3. Browning control
4. Crumb tray
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Set the browning level to maximum (6).
2. Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements.
3. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well
ventilated.
TOASTING
Toasting involves exposing bread to a controlled heat, which causes a chemical
reaction called the ‘Maillard Reaction’. This doesn’t just brown the bread, but alters the
flavour and texture, which is why toast tastes so good!
Since toasting is a combination of drying then cooking the bread, it is affected by
various factors such as differences in the bread’s thickness, freshness and surface
texture. Local and regional variations in household electricity voltages can also have an
effect on toasting time which is why we would advise to initially try different toasting
settings in order to find your perfect shade of toast.
TOASTING BREAD
1. Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the plug into the power socket.
3. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
4. Put bread into the toasting slots.
5. Press the lever down fully. It won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to
the electricity supply.
6. The elements will heat up.
7. When it’s done, the toast will pop up.
8. To stop toasting, press 5.
• You may raise the lever further, to remove small items.
• You may raise the lever during toasting, to check progress, then lower it again.
FROZEN BREAD
1. Leave the browning level at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the lever, then press f.
2. The f light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to
give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.

REHEATING TOAST
1. Turn the browning control to the m setting, insert the bread then lower the lever.
2. The toast will be given a short burst of heat.
3. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Old (yesterday’s) bread has less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
• Old bread, thin slices, and sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown
faster – use a lower setting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.
• Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
