The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with
a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below. Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of, (having removed the fuse) and not left where children might nd it and plug it into a supply
socket - with the obvious consequent danger. If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is
lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of
the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement
fuse cover. N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not
in use. important: the wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter
E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only
two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied electrician. Should the mains lead ever require replacement,
it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should only be replaced with a exible cord of the
same size. Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted. This appliance conforms to the
Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.

USE
Before using for the rst time
• Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the
toaster.
• As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit
6
a slight burning or ‘new’ smell when it is rst switched on.
This is normal and not a cause for concern.
• To eliminate the ‘new’ smell at the rst 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 are at the rest position. Move
the browning control dial to the desired setting.
• Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.
• Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots and
lower the lever until it is all the way down.
Please note: If the appliance is not connected to the
electrical outlet, the lever will not stay down.
• When the toasting is nished, the lever returns to the rest
position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.
• If the bread is not suciently toasted, select a darker
degree of toasting by turning the control dial.
• The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing
the Stop/Cancel button. Never lift the lever to cancel
toasting.
Caution: 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 immediately after lowering the lever; 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
again and then press the Reheat button. Please note that this
is xed 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. The reheat indicator light will
remain lit while the reheat function is in use.
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 rst 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 dicult, these may cause res.
• 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.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH SHARP
OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BREAD
TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
