Use Your Toaster
1. Check that the crumb tray at the
back of the toaster is fully inserted,
then slot one or two slices of bread
into the bread slots in the top of the
toaster.
2. Slot the plug on the toaster into a
power socket and switch on.
3. Select the browning setting that you
prefer using the + and – browning
buttons.
You may want to start at setting 3 and
then adjust to your taste (bread may
be slightly more toasted when only
toasting one slice or when using for
extended periods of time).
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain
the best browning performance
the toasting time will decrease
automatically if you continue to use
the toaster within 5 minutes of the
last toast cycle finishing.

4. Press the carriage handle down until it
locks into place and the timer on the
display starts to countdown. The light
around the bottom of the toaster will
illuminate to let you know toasting
has begun.
Once the bread has been toasted
the carriage handle will automatically
spring back up and can be lifted
slightly further upward to easily
remove the toast.
5. If you want to stop toasting at any
point, just press the Power button
and the carriage handle will spring
up.
You can also adjust the browning
level during use by pressing the + or -
button.
Please don’t try to manually force
the carriage handle up as this could
damage the toaster.
6. Frozen bread can still be toasted.
Simply set the toaster to the desired
browning setting then press the
Defrost button and the time will
automatically be adjusted.
Press the carriage handle down to
start the toasting process.
7. For reheating cold toasted items, just
place the items into the bread slots
and press the Reheat button and
push the carriage handle down.
Note: You do not need to select
a browning setting as the reheat
function has a preset time that is not
adjustable.

Prevent the bread from getting stuck
This appliance has a function to prevent bread from getting stuck in the bread
slots If the bread gets stuck in the slots and the carriage handle does not spring
upwards, the power will automatically disconnect after the preset cooking time.
In the unlikely event that the bread or crumpet becomes jammed, switch the
toaster off at the power outlet, remove the plug from the supply socket and
carefully take the bread out of the toaster, ensuring that you do not damage the
element.
Cleaning your toaster
Make sure the toaster is disconnected from the power and is completely cool.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean the outside (don’t use abrasive cleaners, as these
can damage the surface of the toaster, or metal polish). NEVER IMMERSE
THE TOASTER IN WATER.
2. You should regularly pull out the crumb tray at the back of the toaster and
dispose of the contents. This should be done once a week if the toaster is
used regularly. Always make sure the tray is inserted back in properly before
using the toaster.
3. To clean the inside of the toaster, turn it upside down and shake the crumbs
out of it.
4. When not in use or when placed in storage, the power cord should be
wound under the bottom of the toaster.
