Your toaster makes toasting easy…..it will evenly toast variety of breads, toaster pastries
and waffles.
The thermostatically controlled heat selector lets you select the toasting...from light to dark.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the product and remove all packaging materials, To remove any dust that
may have accumulated during packaging, simply wipe the toaster exterior with a clean,
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, Do not put the toaster, cord, or plug in water.
Check that the voltage on the appliance's rating plate corresponds to the voltage marked on
your mains supply meter. Before using for the first time, operate the toaster once or twice on
level 7 to eliminate the "new" smell. You can do this with the toaster empty.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Place your toaster on a flat, dry, stable surface.
2. Make sure that the lever is in the uppermost position, insert the plug into a standard
electrical outlet.
3. For ease of selection, the browning selector dial may be rotated to vary the toasting time
and therefore the degree of browning. Set anywhere on the band to suit the type of
bread. Setting 1 is the shortest toasting time. Setting 7 is the longest.
4. The handle will not latch if the unit is not connected to the mains, and may not latch if the
browning control is set to its minimum position. Press the toasting levers downward until
they lock into place. This will lower the bread into position and automatically begin
toasting. The toast will pop up when it has reached the selected colour. Should you
desire to stop the toasting before reaching the selected color, press the STOP button
and the toast will pop up.
5. DO NOT LIFT UP THE BREAD WARMER RACK IF YOU ARE TOASTING BREAD
IN THE TOASTING SLOTS.

SELECTING THE BROWNING LEVEL
Select the setting of your choice from the possible browning levels. The degree of browning
increases in relation to the numbers on the selection dial. For your guidance, the
relationship between the levels and the type of bread is as follows:
DIAL SETTING TYPE OF BREAD
1-3 Thin bread or using bread warmer rack
3-5 Ordinary bread
6-7 Whole meal bread
After having plugged the appliance in, press the bread carriage LEVER down until it
automatically locks.
The toast is automatically released when the previously selected browning level is reached.

toasting, then press the Frozen button. Additional time will automatically be selected and the
frozen bread LED indicator will grow.

lower the bread, then press the Reheat button. The bread will be reheat and the re-heat
LED will grow.
Bread Warmer rack
You can warm your bread with the bread warmer rack. Firstly, switch off the toaster, then
press down the bread warmer switch to lift up the bread warmer wire rack, place the bread
on the wire rack. Make sure that you leave enough space between the bread and the toaster.

damage your toaster.

LEVER.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BETTER TOASTING
To loosen broken or bent toast wedged in your toaster: Unplug the toaster, turn it upside
down and shake it gently. DO NOT insert forks or other sharp instruments as this may
damage the toaster and create a possible safety hazard.
Because everyone’s taste is different recommending exact toaster settings is difficult. A little
testing on your part will give you the best setting for your taste. You should check the heating
instructions on the packages of the convenience foods that you wish to toast.
Different breads have different moisture content requiring different settings for toasting.
Press the stop button at any time to check the colour.
PCT130 Rev.1 0801
All breads do not toast alike. When toasting dark or other rich breads use a slightly higher
setting than used for plain white breads. Use a lower setting for fruit loaves as well as sweet
bread.
The best toast is made from bread that is one or two days old.
When slicing bread by hand, slices should be cut evenly allowing for better, more even
toasting.
Toast thin sliced bread on a lighter toasting setting.
Toaster pastries should be toasted in your toaster using a low setting. DO NOT place
foil-wrapped food (remove all protective wrappings before placing in toaster) or pastries with
runny fillings or open frostings in the toaster slots.
Your toaster should only be used to toast bread that will fit
freely into the toaster slot.
CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
LET THE TOASTER COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.
1. Unplug toaster from electrical outlet.
2. DO NOT USE COARSE OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL to clean
your toaster. Never spray or apply cleaners directly to your toaster instead apply
cleaner to a soft cloth.
3. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth...polish with a soft, dry cloth.
