• The bread may burn; therefore, do not use the appliance near or below combustible material such as curtains.
• This appliance is not intended to be operated on an extension cable or by means of an external timer or a separate remote control system.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not suitable for use in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other commercial environments.

WARNING = Danger to the person, IMPORTANT = Damage to the appliance. In addition, we offer the following safety advice.

MAINS CABLE

• Do not let the cable run across a cooker or a hot area, which might damage the cable.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Watch over your appliance during use and do not leave it unattended when switched on.
• WARNING! Do not touch the top of the appliance or other hot parts during or after use; use handles or knobs.
• WARNING! Do not wrap the cable around the main body of the appliance during or after use.
• WARNING! Do not use under cupboards.
• WARNING! Do not insert oversized foods, metal, foil packages, or utensils into the toaster.
• WARNING! Do not attempt to dislodge food when the appliance is plugged in, and never insert cooking utensils into the slots.
• IMPORTANT! Do not place bread or other items on top of the slots, as this may damage the appliance and create a fire hazard.

PRECAUTIONS

• Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no bread inside) except on first use.
• Do not use a very thin or broken slice of bread.
• Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more difficult, these may cause fires.
• Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.
• Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.
• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster to remove bread. As well as damaging the toaster, there is a high risk of electric shock.
• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply, which must be A.C. (Alternating Current). WANING: The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed, as a plug with a bare flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet. Should the fuse in the mains plug require changing, replace it with a fuse of the same rating as originally fitted. WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using your toaster for the first time, operate the toaster without bread.
• As with all new electric heating elements, your toaster will emit a ‘new’ smell when it is first switched on. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern.

USING YOUR TOASTER

1. Place the sliced bread into the bread slots (1). If you toast two slices, put them in the same bread slot, not one in each of the slots. If you put just one slice in either of the two bread slots, it may become over-browned due to the additional heat coming from the long elements. Adjust the browning control (3) to a lower setting.
2. Adjust the browning control (3) to the desired setting.
3. Depress the bread carriage lever (2). The toaster will begin toasting the bread. Adjust the browning control (3) to the desired setting.
4. When completed, the bread carriage lever will automatically rise and lift the toast from the toaster.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

CANCEL BUTTON

If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press the cancel button.

RE-HEAT BUTTON

If your toast has popped up and gone cold, the toaster offers a re-heat facility. To use, depress the bread carriage lever (2), and press the reheat button (5) immediately. The button will illuminate, and the toaster will operate for a short period, re-heating the bread.

FROZEN BUTTON

To toast frozen bread, do not adjust the browning control (3) from your normal setting. Place the frozen bread in the bread slots (1), depress the bread carriage lever (2), and press the defrost button (4). The button will illuminate, and the toaster will operate for a longer period, defrosting and toasting the bread.

REMOVING THE CRUMB TRAY

WARNING! Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray (7) and could catch fire if not emptied regularly.

1. When the appliance has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the case lightly to dislodge any crumbs lodged in the bread slots (1).
2. Empty the crumb tray and replace it. Never operate the appliance without the crumb tray fitted.

HINTS AND TIPS

• To achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting, so that the control can be automatically reset.
• If toasting one slice, or one slice in each slot, you may need to adjust the browning control (3) to a slightly lower setting. You will notice a variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice. The side facing the inner wall of the bread slot (1) will be darker in colour than the side facing the outer wall of the bread slot.
• When toasting two slices, it is recommended that they are of equal size and freshness. Also, put both slices in the same bread slot, not one in each of the slots. If you put just one slice in a bread slot, it may become over-browned due to the additional heat coming from the long elements.
• Stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh bread. Therefore, the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
• All sorts of bread can be used, as well as teacakes, small rolls, etc. The length of bread slots (1) allows for longer types of bread, such as artisan, pittas, small baguettes, etc. Slices should not, however, be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the bread slots.
• If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed, disconnect your toaster at the socket, allow it to cool, then remove the bread.
• Allow the toaster to cool fully before putting it away.
• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
• The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the surface.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
• After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet, and empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DAMAGE TO THE TOASTER.
