Danger!

• The appliance is exclusively for the use of toasting bread products. Any other use is to be considered inappropriate and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for eventual damage caused by inappropriate, improper or irresponsible use and/or for repairs made to the product by unauthorised personnel.
• Before inserting the plug into the socket, ensure that: The voltage of the socket corresponds to the value indicated on the information label, attached to the appliance. The electrical socket is earthed. The manufacturer does not accept any liability if this requirement is not observed.
• In the case of incompatibility between the socket and the plug of the appliance, have it replaced by a qualified technician. The use of adapters, multiple socket units and/ or extension cables is not recommended. Whenever it may be necessary to use such equipment, it is advisable to use only single or multiple adapters or extension cables which comply with the current safety standards, and make sure not to exceed the wattage limit of the adapter or extension cable.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

USE

Before using for the first time

• Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the toaster.
• As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight burning or ‘new’ smell when it is first switched on. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
• To eliminate the ‘new’ smell at the first use, operate the toaster on a medium setting without any bread inside. Ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation.

To use your toaster

• Make sure than the ON levers (B) are at the rest position. Click turn the toasting level dial (D) to the required level (from 1 - 6).
• Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.
• Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots (A) and lower the lever (B) until it is all the way down.

Please note: If the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet, the lever (B) will not stay down.

• When the toasting is finished, the lever returns to the rest position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.
• If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker degree of toasting by turning the browning control dial (D).
• The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the Stop/Cancel button (I).
• Never lift the lever (B) to cancel toasting.

Danger of burns!! the bread toasting slots become very hot during operation. Do not touch.

Defrost function

Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the Defrost button (F) immediately after lowering the lever (B); the toasting cycle will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired browning.

The defrost indicator light will remain lit while the defrost function is in use.

Reheat function

To warm toast that has popped up but gone cold, lower the lever (B) again and then press the ‘Reheat’ button (G). Please note that this is fixed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the browning control.

The reheat function can be cancelled at any time by pressing the Stop/Cancel button (I). The reheat indicator light will remain lit while the reheat function is in use.

Bagel function

The ‘Bagel’ function allows for the toasting of bread, bagels and muffins etc on one side only (internal side), while the other (external side) remains warm. Bagels and muffins must be sliced in half before toasting. Press down on the lever (B) and then press the ‘Bagel’ button (H). The bagel indicator light will remain lit while the bagel function is in use.

Bun warmer (L) (certain models)

You can use the bun warmer to warm foods such as: croissants or previously toasted food.

Proceed as follows:

• Place the bun warmer over the toasting slots as shown in the figure.
  
• Rest the food to be warmed on the bun warmer.
• Turn the toasting level dial (D) to the required level (1-6).
• Lower the ON lever (B).
• If the food is not warm enough, next time use a higher toasting level.

Suggestions for use

• Select a lower setting for light browning, for toasting one slice only or for dry bread.
• When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a variation in toast colour from one side to the other – this is normal.
• Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread, and thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
• For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even thickness, freshness and size.
• In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend that you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the heating control can reset. Alternatively select a lower setting when additional toasting is carried out.

Precautions

• Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no bread inside) except on first use.
• Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.
• Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more difficult, these may cause fires.
• Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.
• Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.
• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order to remove bread. As well as damaging the toaster, there is a high risk of electric shock.
• Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.

• The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the surface.
• USE ONLY WATER FOR CLEANING.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
• After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance.

Danger! DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTE WITH SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
