SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your Dualit toaster has new patented ProHeat elements.

To condition the elements before toasting for the first time, preheat an empty toaster with all slots turned on for three minutes. Slight smoking may occur, this is • perfectly safe.

When the toaster is used there may be a slight popping crinkling sound, this is due to heat expansion of the element surface and is NOT a fault. Select the number of slices to be toasted on the slot selector switch. Lift the round black Ejector Knob to the up position. Starting from left to right, insert bread into all slots brought into operation by the selector switch. Turn the Time Switch Knob clockwise to the required number on the dial. TOASTING BREAD

1.5 = Lightly browned toast

The timer will click off from 0.5 to 0 position with a clicking sound, the neon light and heating elements will switch off automatically.

The timer can be rotated off at any time during the toasting process by manually rotating the timer knob to the 0 position.

2.5 = Well done toast.

If using brown bread slightly increase time setting. The Dualit toaster can accommodate very large and thick slices. However, if the bread protrudes out of the top • of the toaster, you can turn the bread upside down midway through the toasting process. When the toaster is cold and being used for the first time set the Time Switch Knob to 2.5 because the metal body will absorb some heat. After the toaster has warmed up, reduce the toasting time to give consistent results. As the Time Switch is rotated the automatic timing will start and the red neon light will illuminate.

The toast will not pop up, but will keep warm inside the toaster. Press down the round Ejector Knob and the toast will pop up ready for serving. To toast frozen bread, set timer to the defrost symbol. Let the timer run to 0 position, wait 20 seconds then continue to toast as normal. CAUTION: Heating up a slot that has not been loaded with bread may damage the elements and cause uneven toasting. Do not use the toaster if the crumb tray or base plate are missing or are incorrectly fitted. 2010.05.04_Vario toaster manual.qxp 04/05/2010 16:58 Page 7

TOASTING SANDWICHES This toaster has adjustable wire guards that will adjust to the thick bread and to accommodate the sandwich cage. (available as an accessory) It may be more convenient to toast buns and crumpets in a sandwich cage, as they will be easier to remove from the toaster.

The Combi Toasters are supplied with Sandwich cages.

Additional cages can be purchased as an accessory for any Dualit adjustable wire slot toaster.

Prepare the sandwich with medium sliced bread, lightly butter one side of each slice and place filling between un-buttered sides. Do not overfill the sandwich.

Select the number of slots on the selector switch. Set time switch to between number 2.5 and 3.5 according to the brownness required. Suggested fillings: Thinly sliced ham and thinly sliced cheese. Tomato and cheese or any similar combination. Do not force in thick slices of bread as you may experience difficulty in ejecting them. Never insert broken pieces of bread. If heated slots are left empty the adjacent slots will toast unevenly. CAUTION: Heating up slots that have not been loaded with bread may damage the elements and will cause uneven toasting.
