Burnt food can catch fire, so: never leave your toaster on unattended; keep your toaster away from anything (e.g. curtains) that could catch fire; set the browning control lower for thin or dry bread; never warm food with a topping or filling (e.g. pizza): if it drips into the toaster, it could catch fire. Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.

To avoid electric shocks, never: let the toaster, cord or plug get wet; or put your hand or anything metal, e.g. a knife or foil, into the toaster.

Always unplug the toaster when not in use, before cleaning or attempting to clear jammed bread.

Never cover your toaster with a plate or anything else - it could overheat and catch fire.

Never let the cord hang down where a child could grab it.

Note: when toasting using the bagel button, the centre elements will toast with a higher heat than the element at the front and back of the toaster. This will result in only one side of the item being toasted. hints on using your toaster

Select a lower setting for light browning or for dry bread.

When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a variation in toast colour from one side to the other - this is normal.

Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread and thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.

For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even thickness, freshness and size.

In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the control can automatically reset. Alternatively select a lower setting when additional toasting is carried out. warming rack safety
