BREVILLE  RECOMMENDS

SAFETY FIRST
At Breville, we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• Carefully read all instructions before operating for the first time and save for future reference.

• Always operate the toaster on a stable, heat resistant surface. Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.
• A fire may occur if the toaster is covered or touching flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation.
• Curtains and other flammable items can catch fire if they are near or above the toaster. While toasting, the bread may burn. Therefore do not use the toaster near or below combustible material, such as curtains.
• Do not allow hot surfaces of the toaster to come in contact with countertops or tables.

• Do not use the toaster on a sink drain board.
• Do not move toaster while in operation.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Ensure that bread to be toasted is the correct size for the toaster and does not protrude above the toasting slots. Ensure the bread is not too thick or long that it will jam or wedge the bread carriage.
• Do not place toast directly on top of toasting slots to warm toast as this may prevent correct air circulation and damage the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Toaster surfaces are hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts, or use handles or knobs where available.
• Metal utensils such as a knife, should not be inserted into the toaster crumpets or bagels to remove jammed toast, or any other items from the toaster. This can damage the heating elements as well as lead to electrocution.
• Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged in.
• Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted into the toaster as they may cause a fire or risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the toaster without the slide out crumb tray in place. Do not allow crumbs to build up in the crumb tray. Failure to clean the crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard. To turn the toaster off, remove the power plug from the power outlet.
• Always remove the power plug from the power outlet if the toaster is not in use, before attempting to move, before cleaning, and when storing. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

Functions

NOTE
This toaster is electronically controlled and will not operate until the toaster is plugged into a 220-240 volt power outlet. Before first use, remove any packaging material or promotional labels attached to your toaster.

1. Insert the power plug into a 220/240V power outlet. The LED toasting progress indicator will illuminate from left to right, then align to the selected browning setting (indicated by the position of the browning control slide). The toaster will revert to stand-by mode after a few minutes if a button is not pressed or the browning control slide is not adjusted.
   NOTE
   When using the toaster for the first time, we suggest toasting on the maximum setting without bread. The toaster may emit a thin smoke or distinct odor on initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster.
2. Place bread, crumpets, bagels, English muffins etc into each of the toasting slots. Ensure items for toasting are not too large or too thick to fit in the toasting slots.
3. XThere are 12 browning settings ranging from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest). Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the browning control slide on the front of the toaster. The LED toasting progress indicator will illuminate and align to the selected browning setting (as indicated by the position of the browning control slide).
   NOTE
   When toasting bread for the first time, it is suggested to toast on browning setting ‘3’ ( 7 LEDs illuminated). Various types of bread and personal preferences may require a different browning setting. For example, raisin toast and white light-textured breads may require a lighter setting, while heavier textured rye bread may require a darker setting.
4. To start the toasting process, press down the lever until it locks into place. The LED toasting progress indicator (above the selected browning setting) will flash and start to gradually count down.
   NOTE Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the CANCEL button. This will cancel the operation and the carriage will move to the raised position.
5. Once the toasting cycle is complete the toast ready alert will sound (refer to TOAST READY ALERT, page 11, to adjust the volume). Remove the toast. The LED toasting progress indicator will re-illuminate to the previously selected browning setting for a few minutes before entering standby mode.
   NOTE
   To re-activate the toaster from standby mode, press any button or move the browning control slide. The LED toasting progress indicator will re-illuminate.

WARNING
Do not leave the toaster unattended when in use as toast may jam. In the unlikely event that bread, crumpets, bagels, English muffins, or toaster pastries become jammed in the toasting slots, all the buttons and the LED toasting progress indicator will flash and the elements will turn off. Remove the power plug from the power outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely before carefully easing the bread out of the slots. Take care not to damage the heating elements. Do not use metal utensils.

A BIT MORE BUTTON
If your toast comes up too light, one press of this button adds a little extra toasting time. This feature can be selected before, during, or after the toasting cycle and can be used with the CRUMPET/FRUIT BREAD and FROZEN functions.

TO USE THIS FEATURE DURING THE TOASTING CYCLE:

• Press the A BIT MORE™ button. The button surround will illuminate white when selected. The toasting time will automatically increase but will not illuminate more of the LED toasting progress indicator.
• The A BIT MORE™ function can be canceled by pressing the A BIT MORE™ button again and the original toasting cycle will continue.

TO USE THIS FEATURE BEFORE OR AFTER THE TOASTING CYCLE:

• Press the A BIT MORE™ button. The button surround will illuminate white when selected.
• Press down the lever until it locks into place.
• The LED toasting progress indicator will automatically align with the lowest browning setting then flash and count down for the additional browning time.

1. Place the crumpet into the toasting slots with the inside of the crumpet facing inwards as per the crumpet markings above the middle heating elements of the toaster.
2. Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the browning control slide on the front of the toaster. There are 12 browning settings ranging from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest).
3. To select the CRUMPET setting, press the CRUMPET button and the button surround will illuminate white. To start the toasting process, press down the lever until it locks into place.
   NOTE
   It is normal for the outside heating elements to appear off or on a lower power during the crumpet setting. This ensures the inside of your cut crumpet toasts without burning the outside.
4. After the cycle has finished, press the CRUMPET button to deselect the setting if toasting other types of bread.

To toast fruit bread:

1. Place the fruit bread into the toasting slots.
2. To select the FRUIT BREAD setting, press the CRUMPET/FRUIT BREAD button twice and the button will illuminate blue.

4. The browning settings range from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest).
5. To start the toasting process, press down the LIFT & LOOK lever until it locks into place.
6. Once the toasting cycle has finished and the carriage has risen and locked into the raised position, the toast-ready alert will sound. Remove the fruit bread. The CRUMPET/FRUIT BREAD button surround will remain illuminated in blue and should be pressed once to cancel if a subsequent toasting function other than fruit bread is required. The CRUMPET/FRUIT BREAD button surround will cease to illuminate after 30 seconds or when the appliance is switched off at the power point.

FROZEN BUTTON
This feature activates additional toasting time required to defrost and then toast frozen bread.

To toast frozen bread:

1. Place the bread into the toasting slots.

4. After the cycle has finished, press the FROZEN button to deselect the setting.

HIGH LIFT LEVER
The lever can be lifted approximately ½ inch above the starting position. This raises the carriage approximately ½ inch making it easier to remove smaller items such as English muffins.

TOAST READY ALERT
A toast-ready alert will sound when the toasting cycle has finished and the carriage has risen and locked into the raised position. The default volume setting for the toast-ready alert is ‘High’ but can be adjusted to ‘Low’ or ‘Mute’.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME OF THE TOAST READY ALERT
Press and hold down the CANCEL button for 2 seconds until the A BIT MORE™, CRUMPET, and FROZEN buttons illuminate. While these buttons are illuminated, adjust the volume as follows:
