toasting bread
3 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.
4 Plug the cable into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
5 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness of bread 27mm 1
t
inch).
6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
7 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
8 The
5
light will come on.

frozen bread

11 This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
12 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, put the frozen bread into the
slots, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the
f
button.
13 The
f
light will come on, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give
the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
caution
don’t try to defrost bread – you’ll probably wreck the toaster
a) toasting frozen bread changes ice to steam, which escapes via the toasting slots
b) defrosting bread on a low setting changes ice to water, which drips into the
toaster, over the electronics and maybe the elements, causing mayhem
bagel
b
14 Only the brown outside surfaces of bagels should be
toasted, the soft inner surfaces shouldn’t be browned.
15 Split your bagel, and put the two halves into the slots
with the brown outsides facing the centre elements.
16 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting,
lower the bread carriage handle, then press the
b
button. This heats only the centre elements
17 The brown outsides of the bagel will be toasted, the
cut sides will just be warmed.
