toasting bread
1 Sit the toaster upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
2 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4 Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible
materials and watch it while it’s hot.
5 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
, Treat the left and right pairs of toasting slots as independent 2-slot toasters – his
and hers, yours and mine – whatever works for you.
6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 30mm (1¥in).
8 Press the lever down fully – it won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the
electricity supply.
9 The 5 button will glow, and the elements will heat up.
10 When it’s done, the toast will pop up and the elements will turn off.
extra lift
11 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
eject 5
12 To stop the toaster before it’s finished, press the 5 button.
13 The elements will turn off, the lights will go out, and the toast will pop up.
frozen bread f
14 This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
15 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower
the lever, then press the f button.
16 The f button will glow, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give
the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
reheating toast m
17 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the bread, lower the
lever, then press the m button.
18 The m button will glow, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then it’ll pop up,
and the light will go out.
19 You must only reheat plain, “unbuttered” toast.
b bagel
20 Conventionally, only the brown crusty surfaces of bagels are toasted;
the soft inner surfaces are just warmed, not browned.
21 Split your bagel, and put the two halves into the slots with the
brown crusts facing the outside elements.
22 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, press the lever
fully down, then press the b button.
23 The b button will glow, the brown outsides of the bagel will be
toasted, and the cut sides will be warmed.
