Follow basic safety precautions, including:

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.

• Keep the appliance and cable out of reach of children under 8.

• Don’t connect the appliance via a timer or remote control system.

• Bread may burn. Don’t use the appliance near or below combustible materials (e.g. curtains).

• The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.

• If the cable is damaged, return the appliance, to avoid hazard.

• Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.

• When using a single toasting slot, check that the other slot is empty.

• Don’t toast or reheat buttered, torn, or misshapen bread.

• If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, and carefully remove the bread.

• Don’t use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.

• Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

• Don’t cover the appliance or put anything on top of it.

• Don’t operate the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

• This appliance is for household use only.

1. Set the browning level to maximum (6).

2. Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements.

3. This may smell a little, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

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 (maximum thickness 26mm).

5. Press the lever 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.

7. To stop toasting, press the cancel button (upward pointing triangle symbol).

• You may raise the lever further, to remove small items.

• You may raise the lever during toasting, to check progress, then lower it again.

1. Leave the browning level at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the lever, then press the frozen bread button (snowflake symbol).

2. The light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.

1. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the bread, lower the lever, then press the reheat button (toast symbol).

2. The light will come on, and the toast will be given a short burst of heat.

3. Don’t reheat “buttered”, torn, or misshapen bread.

• 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.

• Unplug the toaster and let it cool down.

• Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.

• Remove and empty the crumb tray. Wipe with a damp cloth, dry, then replace in the toaster.
