BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Set the browning level to maximum until all of the LEDs are lit.
2. Press the lever down then touch the Ⓣ icon. Allow your toaster to complete the toasting cycle without any bread in it.
3. This will burn off any manufacturing residues on the elements and may smell or produce a little smoke but it's nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

CONTROLS AND LED DISPLAY

To activate a function, touch its icon. The icon will light up brightly and the remaining icons will be dimly lit to show that they are available for use.

The LED display shows the browning selection you have made using the browning control. The more lights that are lit, the darker the toast will be. The lights will fade from dim to bright during the toasting cycle.

Your toaster will revert to the standby mode if no controls are touched or settings changed within 5 minutes. You can also select standby mode at any time by touching the ⏻ icon.

COLOUR SENSE TECHNOLOGY

Toasting causes a chemical change called the ‘Maillard Reaction’ which not only browns the bread but changes its flavour and texture. Traditional toasters heat the bread for a fixed length of time then eject it. Increasing the time results in browner or darker toast. However, there are many variables that cause toast to come out differently even if the same settings are used each time. These include things like the bread’s moisture content or its age or the thickness or surface texture or if your toaster is hot from a previous toasting cycle. Any of these can cause the toast to be over or under done when relying on traditional timer-based toasting.

Colour Sense technology continuously reads the surface temperature of the bread during toasting. Bread surface temperature is linked to toast shade so when the bread reaches your desired shade, the toaster will end the toasting cycle.

Note

Colour Sense technology is the default toasting mode. The toaster includes a traditional (timer based) function for toasting non-bread items or breads with unique compositions.

TOASTING BREAD

1. Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the plug into the power socket. Your toaster will be in standby mode with only the ⏻ icon lit. Touch the ⏻ icon to activate the controls.
3. Turn the browning control to the required setting. The LEDs will light to show the selection you have made. The more lights that are lit, the darker the shade of your toast.
4. Put bread into the toasting slots.
5. Press the lever down fully.
6. The cancel icon ⊗ will light up, and the LED lights will fade up and down as the bread is toasted.
7. When it's done, the toast will pop up.
8. To stop toasting at any time touch the cancel ⊗ icon.

Notes

• You can adjust the browning control at any time during toasting if you want to change the toast shade.
• If you lower the shade setting to a point which has already passed in the toasting cycle, the toast will pop up.
• Your toaster will remember the last browning setting you selected.

FROZEN BREAD

1. Place the bread into the slots then touch the frozen icon ✦.
2. Press the lever down to begin toasting. There is no need to change the browning control from your favourite setting.
3. The ✧ icon will light up brightly, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you would get with unfrozen bread.

REHEATING TOAST

1. Place the cold toast into the slots then touch the reheat icon 🌐.
2. Press the lever down to begin reheating. There is no need to change the browning control from your favourite setting.
3. The 📋 icon will light up brightly, and the toast will be given a short burst of heat.
4. Don't reheat toast that has been buttered, or torn, or misshapen bread.

TRADITIONAL (TIMED) TOASTING

You can use your toaster in the same way as a traditional (timer based) toaster. This is useful when you want to cook items like pop tarts or use toasting bags to make toasties.

1. Turn the browning control to the required setting. The LEDs will light to show the selection you have made. The more lights that are lit, the longer the toasting cycle.
2. Put the item to be toasted into the toasting slots.
3. Press the lever down fully. Touch the Ⓣ (timer) icon.
4. The cancel icon ⊗ will light up, and the LED lights will fade up and down as the toasting cycle runs.
5. When the cycle finishes, the item will pop up.
6. The Colour Sense technology does not operate in this mode so there may be variations between successive cycles.
7. The next time you use your toaster it will default back to using Colour Sense technology.

WARMING RACK

Don't use the warming rack to warm frozen, buttered, or items with fillings or coatings.

1. Fit the warming rack on top of the toaster with the feet inside the slots.
2. Place the items to be warmed on top of the warming rack.
3. Turn the browning control until the first LED is lit.
4. Touch the Ⓣ (timer) icon.
5. When the lever pops up, remove the warmed items.
6. Don't touch the metal parts of the warming rack as they will be hot.
7. Remove the warming rack before using the toaster normally.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

It is possible for your toaster to overheat if it is used several times in quick succession. If this happens, the lever will not latch in the down position. To show that your toaster is cooling down, all six LEDs will come on then slowly turn off one by one. This pattern will repeat until your toaster has cooled down sufficiently for it to be operated again normally.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
• Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
• It is important to regularly remove and clean the crumb tray to prevent the build up of crumbs which can become a fire hazard.
• Press the crumb tray inwards to release it.
• Slide out the crumb tray and wipe it with a damp cloth.
• Dry the crumb tray then slide it back in until it clicks. Never operate your toaster without the crumb tray fitted.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.

TRADISJONELL (TIDSINNSTILT) BR∅DRISTING

Du kan bruke brødristeren på samme måte som en tradisjonell (tidsinnstilt) brødrister. Dette er praktisk när du vil steke produkter som pop tarts (brødristerkaker) eller bruke brødristerposer for å lage smørbrød.
