Before first use

Before using your toaster for the first time, unpack and remove labels from the body of the toaster. Wipe the outside of your toaster with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Most heating appliances produce an unpleasant smell and / or smoke when used for the first time.

This is normal. Set the toast browning control to 5. Press down on the toast lever until it engages.Toast lever will not engage unless unit is plugged in.Allow the toast cycle to finish.The unpleasant smell should disappear after this initial preheating.

Making toast

1. Plug the toaster into a 110/120V-power outlet and turn the power on.
2. The toaster will only latch down when the cord is plugged in and the power turned on.
3. To toast, set the toasting control to the desired setting (1 is the lightest setting and 5 is the darkest setting) before engaging the toast lever. For frozen bread, set the toasting setting to (※) defrost setting before engaging the Toast lever.

Warning: Toasting performance will vary with the type of bread, especially bread that contains higher sugar contents, e.g. fruitbread. For these kinds of bread theasting setting must be reduced.

1. Place bread in slot(s) and lower the toast lever until it engages or locks in. NOTE:The toast lever will not engage if the toast control dial is in the (0) OFF / cancel position or if the toaster is unplugged from the power supply. After the selected toast colour has been achieved, the toast will pop up automatically, ready for removal from the slots.
2. To immediately stop the toasting process at any time, lift the toast lever up lightly. In addition, you can also use the control dial and turn to (0) OFF position.

If the toast gets stuck in the bread carrier and will not pop up, the auto-cancel circuit shuts off the heating elements automatically. Unplug the toaster and carefully remove the toast once the unit has cooled down. Take care not to damage the internal element of the toaster.

1. Remove the plug from the outlet.

CAUTION: Do not wrap the cord around the main body of the toaster during or after use. The cord wrap (storage) facility is located on the underside of the toaster.

Tips

• Stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread. Therefore, set the toast setting dial to a lower setting.
• When toasting 2 slices of bread, it is recommended that the slices are of equal size and freshness.
• If you wish to reheat toast that has not been buttered, set the toast setting dial to the first toast setting, no 1.
• When toasting a single slice of bread, the inner side of the bread will be toasted a little bit more than the outer side, this is normal for toasters that toast side by side, as some of the heat from the unused toasting slot will be transferred to the inner side of the used slot.
• When toasting 2 slices in the 4-slice toaster, use both slots and place the bread in the middle of the slots and reduce the toasting setting.
• Never place an object on top of the toaster when in use, this will cause damage to the toaster.

Cleaning

After use and before cleaning, set toast setting dial to (0) OFF. Remove the plug from the outlet and allow toaster to cool down.

Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and dry with another cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring or abrasive cleaners on any part of the toaster.

To avoid damage to the toaster heating elements, do not use any metal utensils to clean the inside of the toaster.

Crumbs will accumulate in the crumbtray and could catch fire if the tray is not emptied frequently. When the toaster has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the toaster lightly to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toasting chamber and pull out the crumbtray. Empty the tray, wipe clean and replace the tray into the toaster.
