Frequently Asked Questions - Accents 242018 MORPHY RICHARDS

How to clean the Morphy Richards Accents 242018 toaster?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive products or sharp objects. Empty the removable crumb tray regularly.

What to do if bread gets stuck in the toaster?

Unplug the appliance immediately and let it cool. Gently remove the bread with wooden or plastic tongs. Never use metal utensils. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

How to use the defrost function?

Place frozen bread in the slots and set the thermostat as for fresh bread. Lower the lever, then press the defrost button. The indicator lights up and the extended cycle defrosts then toasts the bread.

How to reheat already toasted bread?

Lower the lever with the cooled bread, then immediately press the reheat button. The indicator lights up and the toaster briefly heats without browning too much.

Can I toast small pieces like rolls?

Yes, but pieces should not be too thick to avoid burning or jamming. Use the lever to remove them easily. For even results, choose slices of the same thickness.

The toaster emits a burning smell on first use, is this normal?

Yes, this is completely normal. Like all electrical heating elements, the appliance emits a new smell during initial uses. Run it empty once before toasting bread.

How to use the pause and check function?

During toasting, press the pause and check button. The lever automatically lifts and the heating elements stop. Check the bread color. If necessary, lower the lever within 5 seconds to resume the cycle where it stopped.

Why doesn't the lever stay down when I lower it?

The lever only locks when the appliance is plugged in and the thermostat is activated. Make sure the outlet works and the bread is properly inserted. If the problem persists, check that the toaster is turned on.

How to adjust the browning of the bread?

Turn the thermostat knob to select the desired browning level (low setting = light, high = dark). For a single slice, set slightly lower to avoid over-toasting.

What is the warranty of the Morphy Richards Accents 242018 toaster?

The appliance has a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, subject to use in accordance with the instructions and presentation of the receipt. In case of defect, contact the selling store or after-sales service.

Before first use

• The bread carriage levers will not stay down unless the toaster is connected to the mains supply.
• Before using the toaster for the first time operate the toaster without bread.
• As with all new electric heating elements, your toaster emits a 'new' smell when it is first switched on. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern.

Operating the appliance

- On the four slice models, the toaster has two sides with controls repeated for each half. Each half can be used together or independently.

1 Select the desired level of browning on the browning control dial 6.

2 After selecting the desired level, place your bread in the slots 1 and depress the bread carriage lever downwards until it locks.

3 After the set time has been reached the bread will pop up automatically ready for removal from the slots. The bread carriage lever will have returned to its upper position and the heating element will have switched off.

WARNING: Do not wrap the cable around the main body of the appliance during or after use.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Using the re-heat button

If your toast has popped up and gone cold, the toaster offers a re-heat facility. To use, depress the relevant bread carriage lever and press the re-heat button 4 immediately. The button will illuminate and the toaster will operate for a short period reheating the bread.

Using the frozen button

To toast frozen bread do not adjust the browning control from your normal setting. Place the bread in the bread slots as normal, and press the frozen button Ⓔ.

Using the cancel button

(Depends upon model)

If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press the cancel button 5.

Using the pause and check/cancel button

(Depends upon model)

If you wish to check the process of the toasting cycle, press the Pause and check/cancel button 5. On pressing the button, the bread carriage will pop up automatically for you to check. This action will pause the heating elements, during this period the function button lights will flash. If you have achieved the desired level of browning remove the toast from the toaster. If longer toasting is required, depress the bread carriage lever within five seconds to resume the toasting cycle at the same stage it was at when it was paused.

Hints and tips

• In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting, so that the control can be automatically reset.
• If toasting one slice only, you may need to adjust the browning control to a slightly lower setting.
• Note you will also notice a slight variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice.
• Stale bread toasts more rapidly than fresh bread. Therefore, the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
• All sorts of bread can be used as well as teacakes, small rolls etc. Slices should not however be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the bread slots.
• If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed disconnect your toaster at the socket, allow it to cool, then remove the bread.
• When toasting 2 or more slices it is recommended they are of equal size and freshness.
• Allow the toaster to cool fully before putting away.

Cleaning and maintenance

1 After use and before cleaning, switch off at the mains, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait for the toaster to cool.
2 Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth only and dry with another cloth or tissue.
- NEVER use metal polish or coarse scouring agents and never immerse your appliance in any sort of liquid.
- NEVER use any pointed or sharp articles for cleaning the inside, otherwise the heating element will be damaged.
- NEVER use a brush or push your fingers or metal objects down the slots.
