before using for the first time
Before making toast for the first time, set the browning control to 6, and operate the
toaster without bread, to burn off any dust etc. from the new elements. This may smell
a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
toasting bread
1 Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat resistant surface, clear of curtains
and other combustible materials. Don’t put it on or near anything that could be
damaged even by moderate sources of heat.
2 Plug the cable into the power socket and, if necessary, switch the socket on.
3 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 28mm 1
8
inch).
4 Slide the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
5 Press the bread carriage handle 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, and the elements will turn off automatically.

reheating toast

Adjust the browning control till the
m
symbol appears in the setting window. Insert
the toast, lower the bread carriage handle. The toast will be given a short burst of heat,
then pop up. You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
extra lift
After toasting small items (crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be raised
further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
hints and tips
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and
freshness.
• Old (yesterday’s) bread makes crisper toast than fresh bread, as it contains less
moisture.
• Old or thin bread will cook faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
• Don’t use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread as these may jam the
ejection mechanism and could catch fire.
• Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
care and maintenance
First – unplug the toaster and let it cool down fully.
Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
Don’t let anything enter the slots, as this might damage the elements.
Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Don’t put the toaster in water or any other liquid.
