• Toasting is a combination of drying and
cooking the bread and, because moisture
levels differ from one bread to another,
toasting times can vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting
than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use
a higher setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including
crumpets) will take longer to toast—
sometimes significantly longer. This is
because more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces of bread may require two
toasting cycles.
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even
halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do
not force them into the toaster.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins or fruit from the
surface of the bread before putting it into your
toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into your toaster or sticking to the
guard wires in the toasting slot.
• If toasting 1 slice or 2 slices, it is
recommended that you use a lower
browning setting to achieve your required
result and to prevent burning.
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch
the power off, remove the plug from the
power outlet and ease the bread out of the
toaster.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife
or any other metal object, as contact with the
live element may cause electrocution.
Toasting Tips
Care and Cleaning
Always turn the power OFF and remove the
plug from the power outlet after use and
before cleaning your toaster.
To clean the toaster exterior
Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth
and polish with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scourers or
abrasives as this may scratch the exterior
surface.
Removable crumb tray
To remove the crumbs, simply pull tray out,
empty and place it back in the toaster.
Important: Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do
not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may
cause a potential fire hazard.
To clean the toaster interior
Clean inside the toaster regularly. To do
this, unplug the appliance, turn it upside
down over the sink and gently shake all the
crumbs out.
