SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES
- Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your toaster to prevent possible damage to the surface.
- During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected.
This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION: Never force bread into the toasting slots. Bread should fit easily into the toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered. Take extra care when toasting items that contain sugar, jam or preserves, as there is a risk of the ingredients leaking into the toaster, causing overheating. Don’t use bent, damaged or broken bread in your toaster as it may cause it to jam.
Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all packaging from inside the toasting slots. Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Bread may burn therefore do not use the appliance near or below combustible materials such as curtains. Never use the toaster below wall cupboards or shelves.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface. When you first use your toaster, there may be a slight odour as the heating elements warm up for the first time. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern. To remove the odour, simply operate your toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
USING YOUR TOASTER
- Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected, the darker the toast will be.
- Place the bread into the toasting slots. Press the loading handle down until it latches.
The bread will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will begin.
The loading handle will not latch if your toaster is not connected to the mains supply. - When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise and the toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast.
- If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the browning control to a lower setting and watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
- Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
Toasting tips
- Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread and, because moisture levels differ from one bread to another, toasting times can vary.
- For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
- For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
- Bread which has a very uneven surface will require a higher setting.
- Thicker cut pieces of bread (including crumpets) will take longer to toast sometimes significantly longer. This is because more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require two toasting cycles.
- When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins or fruit from the surface of the bread before putting it into your toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard wires in the toasting slot.
Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning control to a lower setting than normal. By using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of bread, it will not be over toasted.
If your toaster jams
CAUTION: Never use a knife or any other utensil or implement to remove jammed bread.
Never insert your fingers into the bread slots.
- Switch the toaster off at the mains supply socket and unplug it.
- Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
- Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being careful not to damage the heating element.
NOTES:
- The Auto-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically center the food for even browning.
- Toast is the default setting if no food or function select buttons are chosen.
- To use the High Lift feature, press up on the bread carriage lever to lift the bread out of the slots. It is a convenient and safe way of retrieving the smallest of toasted items.
Using the Cancel Function:
Press the Cancel button 
. The toaster will stop toasting immediately and the food will pop up automatically
GENERAL INFORMATION
Tip: Your toaster has been designed for optimum toast balance. Some elements on the inside of the toaster may glow more brightly than others when in use. This is part of normal toaster operation.
To remove food jammed in the bread slots: unplug the toaster and remove the food once the toaster has cooled down.
Do not place food on top of toaster while it is warming.
WARNING: Empty the Crumb Tray frequently. Crumbs will accumulate in the Crumb Tray and could catch fire if not emptied periodically
