fire. Do not use this appliance under or

overheat and catch fire.

-   We recommend that you do not use your toaster directly 

under wall cupboards.

-   Burnt food can catch fire, so never leave your toaster on        

unattended, and set the browning control lower for thin or 
dry bread which can burn more easily.

-   Never warm food with a topping or filling (e.g. pizza): if it 

drips into the toaster it could catch fire.

-   Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.

USE

•  Make sure the lever is raised and the knob is set for medium 

level toasting. 

•  Plug into the mains. 
•  Before using for the first time, heat up the empty toaster 3 

times at max setting. 

This will remove possible odours caused by manufacturing 
processes. Ventilate the room after each cycle.

•  Place the slices of bread in the toasting slots, then lower 

the lever as far as it will go. Do not cook  or let the bread 
directly on the top plate as this part is not inteded for 
cooking purpose.

 Please note:

 if the appliance is not plugged into the 

mains, the lever will not stay down. 
•  When toasting is complete, the lever rises automatically, 

together with the slices of bread. 

If the lever is 

accidentally blocked or held down, toaster may not 

switch off automatically.

•  If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker 

toasting level by turning the knob.

  Alternatively, if the toast is too dark, select a lighter 

toasting level. 

•  Toasting can be interrupted at any moment simply by 

pressing the stop/cancel button.

•  Do not use the toaster empty (without slices of bread). 
•  Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread. 
•  Never use force to insert excessively large pieces of food.  

Danger of burns!! 

the bread toasting slots become very 

hot during operation. Do not touch! 

Defrost function

Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the Defrost   

button immediately after lowering the lever; the toasting cycle 

will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired browning. The 

defrost indicator light will remain lit while the defrost function 

is in use.

Reheat function

To warm toast that has popped up but gone cold, lower the lever 

again and then press the ‘Reheat’ button. Please note that this 

is fixed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the browning 

control. The reheat function can be cancelled at any time by      

pressing the Stop/Cancel button. The reheat indicator light will 

remain lit while the reheat function is in use.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

•  Select a lower setting for light browning, for toasting one 

slice only or for dry bread.

•  When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a va-

riation in toast colour from one side to the other – this is 

normal.

•  Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread, and 

thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced 

bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a 

lower setting than usual. 

•  For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even  

thickness, freshness and size.

•  In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend that 

you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting 

so that the heating control can reset. Alternatively select a 

lower setting when additional toasting is carried out.
