PREPARING FOR USE
1. Read all instructions and safety
information carefully before first use.
Please retain this information for
future reference.
2. Remove all packaging materials,
including those that may be inside
the toasting slots or toasting lever
slots.
3. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
4. Do not put the toaster, cord or plug in
water.
5. Make sure the crumb tray is securely
locked into place and the toasting
lever is in the Up position.
6. Unwrap the power cord from the cord
storage area on the underside of the
toaster and plug into a 220-240V AC
outlet.
7. Turn the browning selector dial to the
lightest setting.
8. Lower the toasting lever until it
locks into place. Operate without
bread once or twice to burn off any
manufacturing residue. You may
notice a light amount of smoke; this
is normal and will stop as the heating
elements continue to heat.
NOTE: Lowering the toasting lever closes
the centring guides and holds the bread
or food to be toasted centrally in the
toasting slots.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock
down unless the toaster is plugged into an
electrical outlet.
1. Make sure the crumb tray is securely
locked into place and the toasting
levers are in the Up position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects
are inside the toasting slots.
3. Place the toaster on a flat, level, heat
resistant surface.
4. Plug the power cord into a mains
outlet.
5. Turn the browning dial to the
desired setting. To test toasting
times for browning, it is best to use
both toasting slots and position the
browning dial between 3 and 4, and
then adjust each subsequent toasting
to your preference.
6. Remove all protective wrappings
from food before placing it into the
toasting slots.
7. Insert bread or foods suitable for
toasting into the toasting slots.
8. Lower the toasting lever until locked
into place. The automatic centring
guides hold food upright for uniform
side-to-side toasting. When the bread
is lowered into position, toasting will
begin.
9. When the toast reaches the selected
browning level, it will pop up
automatically.
10. Remove the bread from the toasting
slot. Be careful when removing the
bread, as the bread and the top of the
toaster will still be hot.
11. To interrupt toasting, press the
corresponding CANCEL button.
NEVER attempt to interrupt toasting
by lifting the carriage handle.
12. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet
when not in use.

BUTTONS:
Reheat Button: This button allows you
to reheat your food
without any extra
browning or toasting.
Defrost Button: This button allows you
to defrost and toast
frozen bread.
Cancel Button: This button allows you
to stop the toasting
process.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into
position unless the toaster is plugged in.
When toasting a single slice, the bread
may be placed in any toasting slot.
To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread
over the opening of the toaster; always
place it into the slots.
DO NOT change the browning level
setting during the toasting cycle. First
press the CANCEL button; then turn the
Browning selector control to adjust the
browning level. Lower the toasting lever
and toast until the desired toast colour is
achieved.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-
edged utensil to remove toast, as that may
damage the heating element or cause
injury.
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Why is there a burning
smell emitting from the
toaster?
Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool.
Crumbs in the crumb tray may be causing the burning smell. Remove
the crumb tray and empty over a bin. Refer to the ‘Cleaning and Care’
section of this manual for instructions on how to remove the crumb tray.
There may be food debris caught in the heating element. Check inside
and gently pry the crumbs out.
Why won’t the toast pop up
after toasting is complete?
Your bread may be too soft. Try using bread that is slightly thicker or less
pliable.
The browning dial will not
operate.
There may be crumbs stuck in the socket. Unplug the toaster and try
shaking it to dislodge any debris.
If the browning dial still does not work, contact our Customer Support
team.
