• Toasting bread involves drying and cooking it. This is why breads with dierent moisture levels will require dierent toasting times.

• A slightly dry bread will require a setting slightly lower than normal.

• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.

• Breads with a very uneven surface (like muns) will require a higher setting.

• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes signicantly longer, since more moisture must evaporate from the bread before toasting can occur. Two cycles may be necessary for very thick slices.

• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before inserting it into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces of fruit from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guides in the slot.

• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

• If you wish to toast a single slice of bread, select a lighter setting than usual. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By selecting a lower setting for a single slice, you won’t burn your bread.

• Be careful when toasting pastries in your toaster because the lling can become hot before the surface has browned. Never leave the appliance unattended while toasting or warming pastries.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

• Unplug the toaster from the mains before cleaning.

• Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Simply wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If you use a cleaning product, apply a little to a cloth and not directly onto the toaster before cleaning.

• To remove crumbs, slide the crumb tray out of the appliance and discard the crumbs. Wipe clean and replace in the toaster. Never turn on the toaster before replacing the crumb tray.

• To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slot as this could damage the toaster and the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed.
