Instruction Manual & Guarantee

For over sixty eight years, Dualit toasters have reflected an attitude that’s fundamentally
British. They are a symbol of the fact that it’s the simple things in life that are the most
rewarding and the most important.
Dualit toasters can turn out hundreds of crisp,
golden slices per hour. They are gleaming, sturdy
and tough as old boots. And as much a part of
British life as toast itself.
It should come as no surprise that the man who
invented the Dualit toaster was an engineer. In
1946, Max Gort-Barten produced the original
Dualit toaster from his workshop just off
London’s Old Kent Road.
Combining strength, versatility and ingenuity it
was a toaster that set new standards, soon
followed by a commercial toaster, incorporating
a time switch among its many (entirely) original
features.
Manually operated and designed for heavy-duty use, each Dualit toaster is a blend of the
simple and highly sophisticated. Each toaster is assembled by hand, much as it always was.
The assembler’s individual number will be found on the base plate.
In an age in which so much becomes obsolete overnight, the Dualit toaster is built without
compromise. It remains one of the few objects to survive the passing of the years with
grace and style.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Accessible surfaces of
the toaster may get
hot during use.
In the interest of improving products, Dualit Ltd. reserves the right
to change the product specification without prior notice.
Your Dualit toaster has patented proheat
elements. These elements need to be
conditioned before toasting for the very first
time. Then continue to toast as per the
instructions.
Set the selector switch so ALL the slots
are active, with NO bread in the slots, turn
the timer all the way round and let it run
back to the off position.
Some smoke may vent from the slots,
THIS IS NOT A FAULT and is perfectly
safe. There may be a slight popping crinkling
sound, this is due to heat expansion of the
elements and is perfectly normal.
Your toaster is now conditioned and ready
for use.

• FULLy LOAD ALL HEATED UP SLOTS. If a slot is heated but no bread is
inserted, the bread in the adjacent slot will toast unevenly.
• ALwAyS LOAD yOUR SLOTS STARTINg FROm THE LEFT.
• DIFFERENT bREADS wILL TOAST AT DIFFERENT RATES, wholemeal
bread takes longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread.
Remember to adjust your timer to allow for your particular type of bread.
• After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be at full operating
temperature, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast.
• use the bagel setting to toast burger buns, bagels, muffins or tea cakes, this setting
toasts one side whilst gently warming the other.
• The thickest slice of bread that will fit in your toaster is 28mm thick. Forcing bread
which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted.
• You may find it easier to use a ‘sandwich cage’ to toast smaller items. Inserting,
checking and removing will all be easier (sold separately).
• When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. uneven slices will
toast unevenly.
• Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may
burn out the elements. With the toaster unplugged use a soft brush to clean inside
your toaster, do not use a knife!
• To reheat recently made toast set timer to ‘defrost’ symbol.
• Cancel toasting manually at any time by rotating the timer back to ‘O’.
This will not damage your timer.
• Always unplug your toaster from the wall socket after use.

(risk of fire if an unattended appliance is left operating).
When the toaster is cold and being used for the first time
set the ‘timer’ to the ‘circle’ indicator, the extra time is
because the metal body will absorb some heat. After the
toaster has warmed up, slightly reduce the toasting time to
give consistent results.

my TOASTER IS NOT wORkINg:
• Check the toaster is plugged in.
• Check if the ‘neon’ is glowing red.
If yes, your elements or ‘selector’ switch
may need replacing.
If no, your plug fuse may have blown
or your timer may need replacing.
I gET UNEVEN TOASTINg:
• Check the selector switch is set for the
number of slots being used.
• Starting from the left, ensure you have
loaded all heated up slots.
• The heavy duty proheat elements can
take a few moments to reach optimum
toasting temperature. preheating the
slots prior to inserting your bread will
eliminate this. Rotate the ‘timer’ all the
way round, let it wind down to the
circle indicator then insert your bread
into the active slots.
• Ensure size and type of bread being
toasted is the same.
• End elements take a little longer to
warm up than centre elements, once
toaster is at optimum operating
temperature this will no longer occur.
• The timer is noticably slow, unplug and
do not use the toaster. Spare timers
are available from www.dualit.com and
must be fitted by a qualified electrical
engineer
