CONTROLS
Browning control
The browning control regulates how much the bread
is toasted—in other words, the colour of the toast.
Lower settings produce lighter toast and higher
settings produce darker toast.
When setting the browning control, remember that
dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and
require a lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread
will require a higher setting.
Cancel button
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by
pressing the cancel button.
Lift-and-look feature
The lift-and-look feature allows you to check the
progress of the toast without cancelling the toasting
process. Just lift the loading handle up at any
time during toasting and lower it again to resume
toasting. If you find your toast is cooked to your
preference, press the cancel button to stop further
toasting (figure 1).
High lift feature
The high lift feature uses the loading handle to
help you to remove the toast. When toasting has
finished, simply lift the loading handle upwards from

to remove (figure 2).

concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your

USING YOUR TOASTER

loading handle down until it latches. The bread
will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will
begin.
The loading handle will not latch if your toaster

toast is cooked to your preference, press the
cancel button to stop further toasting.

setting and watch the toast to ensure that it
doesn’t burn.
6. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing
the cancel button.
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the
