Read these instructions before use and keep them safe. If you pass the toaster on, pass
on the instructions too.
Remove all packaging, but keep it till you’re satisfied the toaster is working.
Important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The toaster must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible
adult. Use and store the appliance out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put your toaster in water, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
4 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
5 If overcooked, bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other
combustible materials and watch it while it’s in use.
6 The area round the toasting slots will get hot during use – don’t touch!
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught accidentally.
8 When using only one of the toasting slots, don’t let anything get into the other slot,
as both slots will become “live” when you lower the bread carriage handle.
9 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting.
10 If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool down fully, then carefully
remove the bread that’s jamming it. Don’t use anything sharp, such as a knife or
fork, you may damage the elements.
11 Don’t toast “buttered” items or try to make toasted sandwiches in the toaster, as this
will create a fire hazard.
12 Don’t use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread, as these may jam the eject
mechanism.
13 Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.
14 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently. A build up of crumbs is unhygienic,
and could cause a fire hazard.
15 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is in place and closed.
16 Don’t use the toaster for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
17 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
18 Keep the toaster and cable away from hotplates, hobs and burners.
19 Don’t use the toaster if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
20 If the cable is damaged, the toaster must be returned, in order to avoid hazard.
household use only
before using for the first time

nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
