Before first use
• Before using the toaster for the first time
operate the toaster without bread. Note:
the bread carriage lever fi will not stay
down unless the toaster is plugged in
and the wall switch is on. Ventilate the
room during this period.
• As with all new electric heating elements,
your toaster emits a ‘new’ smell when it
is first switched on. This is quite normal
and not a cause for concern.
Instructions for use
1 Select the desired level of browning on
the browning control ¤ marked 1 to 8.
The setting required will vary according
to the moisture content and thickness of
the bread. For best results ensure that
the bread slices are of even thickness,
freshness and size. Remember that stale
bread toasts more rapidly than fresh and
thin bread toasts quicker than thick. See
additional points for more information.
2 After selecting the desired level, place
your bread in the slots › and depress
the bread carriage lever fi downwards
until it locks.
3 After the set time has been reached the
bread will pop up automatically ready for
removal from the slots. The bread
carriage lever will have returned to its
upper position and the heating element
will have switched off.
• If the bread in your toaster becomes
jammed disconnect your toaster at the
socket, allow it to cool, then remove the
bread.
• When not in use, switch your toaster off
at the mains and remove the plug from
the socket.
WARNING: Do not wrap the cable
around the main body of the appliance
during or after use.
