Frozen bread *
1. This feature takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
2. Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, put the frozen bread into the
slots, lower the bread carriage handle and then press the * button.
3. The * 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 damage 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 which will cause damage to the toaster.
Reheating toast
1. You must only reheat plain, unbuttered toast and you should reheat toast at the
lowest setting.
2. Turn the browning control down to reheat .
3. Press the bread carriage handle down fully
– it won’t lock down unless the
toaster is connected to the electricity supply.
4. The reheat light will come on.
5.
When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the reheat light will go out, and the
elements will turn off automatically.
Extra lift
After toasting smaller slices of bread the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
Hints and tips
1. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness
and freshness.
2.
Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast.
3. Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so use a lower setting.
4. Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
Crumbs
1. Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
2. Unplug the toaster and let it cool down, then remove and empty the crumb tray.
3. Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry and then replace it in the toaster.
4.
Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
Jamming
If the bread jams in the toaster, the contacts will open and turn off the power to the
elements. You should still unplug the toaster and leave it to cool down before trying
to release the jam.
