Algemeen

This attractive Princess New Classics 4-slice Toaster is one of the products in our New Classics range, all of which are finished in sturdy chrome-plated steel. The toaster is supplied complete with tosti holders and a rack accessory to toast rolls and French bread.

This sophisticated 1350 -1500 W toaster rapidly toasts slices of bread or tostis for 4 people at the same time, and is very simple to use – making it a boon for the entire family! The rack accessory also enables you to toast rolls or French bread.

In addition, the appliance is equipped with a dustproof cover, stop, reheating and thawing buttons, a browning control, a bread lift, and a centring mechanism. The centring mechanism ensures that slices of bread are always correctly positioned in the slots. Connect the appliance to a 220 - 240 V mains power supply.

Operation and controls

See Figure 1.

The appliance is equipped with the following features:

1 Dustproof cover
2 Bread lift
3 Power cord and plug
4 Browning control (left and right)
5 Thawing button (left and right)
6 Reheating button (left and right)
7 Stop button (left and right)

8 Rack accessory for rolls and French bread
9 Tosti holders (2)
A removable crumb tray at the rear of the appliance collects any loose breadcrumbs for easy cleaning.

Before use for the first time

1 Remove all packaging materials before using the appliance for the first time.
2 You can now toast any of the following:
- slices of bread;
- tostis;
- rolls/French bread (using the rack accessory).

Toasting bread

Toast slices of bread by dropping them into the slots and switching on the appliance.

- Do not force the slices into the slots; they could become stuck. Slices of bread that are too high for the appliance should be cut to size before toasting. However, slices that are too small will be difficult to remove from the slots.

- You can break off the toasting cycle by pressing the stop button. The appliance will stop toasting, and the bread lift will rise.

1 Put the plug into an earthed wall socket.
2 Open the dustproof cover.
3 Drop the slices in the toaster's slots.
4 Adjust the browning control to the required degree of browning.
5 Press the lever downwards to lower the bread lift and start the toasting. The appliance ensures that the slices are correctly centred in the slots.
6 The appliance will automatically stop toasting, and the bread lift will automatically rise. Remove the toast from the appliance.
7 When you have finished using the toaster remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool. Close the cover.

Adjusting the degree of browning

See Figure 2.

The degree of browning can be varied with the browning control. Turning the control clockwise will yield browner toast:

• with the control in the left position the toast will be just crisp
• with the control in the mid position the toast will be yellowish-gold
• with the control in the right position the toast will be dark-brown.
  8 Try different settings to obtain the required result. Always begin with the control in the lowest setting. Bear in mind that the result will depend on the nature of the bread: dry or older bread will toast more rapidly, fresh or deep-frozen bread will require a little more time.

Reheating toast/thawing bread

See Figure 3.

You can use the appliance to reheat cold toast. You can also use it to thaw slices of bread. Follow the instructions under 'Toasting bread' and after step 5 press the reheating or thawing button.

Toasting tostis

Tostis are usually prepared from bread and cheese. If you so wish, you can also add ingredients such as ham, bacon, onion, salami, pineapple, tomato, smoked salmon, etc.

See Figure 4.

1 Put the plug into an earthed wall socket.
2 Open the dustproof cover.
3 Put the tosti in the tosti holder and clamp the grips together.
4 Fit the tosti holder containing the tosti in one of the toaster's slots.

5 Toast the tosti in the normal manner, in accordance with the 'Toasting bread' instructions from step 4 onwards.

Toasting rolls/French bread with the rack accessory

Rolls and French bread that are too wide for the toaster's slots can be toasted using the rack accessory. Fit the rack accessory to the top of the toaster.

See Figure 5.

1 Put the plug into an earthed wall socket.
2 Open the dustproof cover.
3 Fit the rack accessory to the top of the toaster.
4 Lay the rolls/French bread on the rack.
5 Toast the bread in the normal manner (in accordance with the 'Toasting bread' instructions, from step 4 onwards); if so required, turning the rolls/French bread over whilst the toaster is operating will result in more uniform browning.

Maintenance and cleaning

Always clean the appliance and the accessories after each use. This will prevent food residues from baking onto the appliance.

• Make sure no moisture gets into the appliance.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water, or in other liquids. If this happens do not use the appliance any more; for safety reasons, dispose of the appliance.

Removing the crumb tray

See Figure 5.

1 Always remove the plug from the wall socket before removing the crumb tray.
2 Allow the appliance to cool.
3 Pull the crumb tray out of the rear of the appliance, and remove any breadcrumbs.
4 Wash the loose parts (crumb tray, tosti holders and rack accessory) with water containing washing-up liquid. Dry with a dry cloth.
5 Clean the exterior of the toaster with the special microfibre cloth supplied with the appliance. Do not moisten the cloth.
6 Return the crumb tray to the appliance.
