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.

We recommend that you do not use your toaster directly under wall cupboards.

Do not move the toaster whilst it is in operation.

External metal surfaces are liable to get hot especially the top area.

Never use an unauthorised attachment or accessory.

We do not recommend using the toaster for non bread items. For non bread items that are specifically recommended for use in a toaster follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and cooking instructions. Remove loose crumbs and clean the crumb tray before and after use.

Never use a damaged toaster. Get it checked or repaired: see ‘Service & Customer Care’.

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

Only use the appliance for its intended domestic use. Kenwood will not accept any liability if the appliance is subject to improper use, or failure to comply with these instructions.English

the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.

Breads containing fruit or nuts can toast very quickly, use the lowest setting to get the best results.

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. care and cleaning 1 Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down. 2 Push to release and then slide out the crumb tray
