Cancel button
The Cancel button immediately stops any of
the toasting cycles. As a consequence of this,
the toast will pop up.
Crumpet button
Place your crumpets into the toaster slots,
ensuring they align with the crumpet icon
located on top of the toaster.
Press the crumpet setting button. This
setting uses gentler heat to toast the outside
while keeping the inside soft and warm.
Toast to your preference: Once the crumpets
are toasted, remove them from the toaster
and enjoy.
QuickCheck
Check the toasting colour at any time by lifting
the toasting lever and then lowering again
during the toasting cycle. Press the cancel
button to cancel the toast cycle at any time.
Defrost feature
The Defrost feature can be used to toast
your frozen bread. The colour of your toast
will brown according to the toasting setting
you have chosen. This feature is activated by
pressing the defrost button on at any time
during the toasting cycle.
High-lift lever
When toasting small pieces of bread,
crumpets or muffins we recommend using
the high lift to manually raise the toast
higher to prevent you from burning your
fingers.
Crumb Trays
Catches crumbs from the bread while
toasting. It helps keep the toaster clean.
After toasting, slide out the tray, empty the
crumbs, and slide it back in.
Toaster Functions
Plug the toaster into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet and switch the power on.
Toasting Bread
1. Position the bread into the bread slot.
2. Select the desired browning setting using
the Browning Control.
Note: If toasting 1 slice only, it is
recommended that you use a lower browning
setting to achieve your required result and to
prevent burning.
Important: Do not toast stale bread, rice
crackers or similar on a high setting as there
is a chance that they may catch fire.
3. Push the Toasting Lever down to
commence the toasting cycle. The light
ring will illuminate to indicate that toasting
is in progress.
4. When the desired browning is achieved,
the toaster will automatically stop toasting
and pop the toast up.
5. If you need to remove the toast before
the cycle is complete, press the Cancel
button. The Cancel button will immediately
interrupt the toasting cycle and pop the
toast up.
6. The quick check function can be used
anytime during the toasting cycle to check
the toasting colour without cancelling the
toasting cycle.

Hot Surfaces
Do Not Touch
4
• Toasting is a combination of drying and
cooking the bread and, because moisture
levels differ from one bread to another,
toasting times can vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting
than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use
a higher setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including
crumpets) will take longer to toast—
sometimes significantly longer. This is
because more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces of bread may require two
toasting cycles.
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even
halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do
not force them into the toaster.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,
remove any loose raisins or fruit from the
surface of the bread before putting it into
your toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into your toaster or sticking to
the guard wires in the toasting slot. Note
that bread with higher sugar content will
potentially burn quickly.
• If toasting 1 slice or 2 slices, it is
recommended that you use a lower
browning setting to achieve your required
result and to prevent burning.
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch
the power off, remove the plug from the
power outlet and ease the bread out of the
toaster.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife
or any other metal object, as contact with the
live element may cause electrocution.
Toasting Tips
Care and Cleaning
Always turn the power OFF and remove the
plug from the power outlet after use and
before cleaning your toaster.
To clean the toaster exterior:
Wipe the toaster with a soft sponge - do not
use metal scourers as this may damage the
surface. During normal use of the appliance
there may be some small discolouration
around the toaster slots. To remove,
disconnect from the power, make sure the
toaster has cooled down, using a soft, dry
scouring pad (non metallic), rub the surface
beside the toaster slots.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scourers or
abrasives as this may scratch the exterior
surface.
Removable crumb tray
To remove the crumbs, simply pull tray out,
empty and place it back in the toaster.
Important: Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do
not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may
cause a potential fire hazard.
To clean the toaster interior
Clean inside the toaster regularly. To do this,
unplug the appliance, turn it upside down
over the sink and gently shake all the crumbs
out.
