Caution: Do not wrap the mains cord around the body of the toaster during or after use. The cord storage facility is located on the underside of the toaster.

BEFORE YOU START USING THE APPLIANCE

• Unpack the toaster from all packaging and remove any stickers. Wipe the outside of the toaster using a moist cloth. Dry thoroughly.

• Make sure the toaster lever is in the raised position when you put the plug in the wall socket.

• Set the toaster control to 8, the highest toasting setting and press the toaster toasting lever down until it engages.

The red light will glow to show that the toaster is heating. Toast lever will only engage when the toaster is plugged in with power on.

Let the toasting complete the first cycle without slices of bread in it to condition the elements for use.

Most heating appliances produce an odour and/or smoke when used for the first time.

This is normal.

USING THE APPLIANCE

• Plug the toaster into the wall power socket and turn power ‘ON’ at socket.

• The toaster will only engage when it is plugged in and the power switched ‘ON’.

• To toast, set the desired browning setting by means of the Electronic Browning Control

(1 is the lightest and 8 is the darkest setting).

The required setting depends on the thickness of bread and type of bread being toasted.

• After having selected the desired browning setting, place the bread into the slots and press the toasting lever down until it engages. The red light will glow for the duration of the toasting cycle.

• When the toasting cycle is complete the slices will pop up automatically and are ready for removal from the slots. If the slices are difficult to remove safely, you can lift the lever upwards for extra high lift.

• To immediately stop toasting at any time, lift the toast lever up lightly.

• Remove the plug from outlet.

THE BAGEL FEATURE

• Slice bagel into two equal halves before toasting.

Insert bagel so both ‘cut’ sides are facing inwards to centre element.

• Select the desired browning setting.

• Press the toasting lever down until it engages and the red light illuminates.

• As soon as the bagel is lowered, immediately press the Bagel button, located on the end of the browning selector the red light will now flash.

• Pressing this button reduces the heat produced from the outer elements gently warming the outside of the bun while still toasting the inside of the bagel to perfection.

• The red light will flash to indicate that the Bagel feature is working.

FROZEN BREAD

• To toast frozen bread increase usual browning setting by 0.5 to 1.

TOASTING HINTS

Stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread.

Therefore, set the toasters browning control to a slightly lower setting.

When toasting two slices of bread, it is recommended they be of equal size and freshness.

If you wish to reheat toast that has not yet been buttered, set the toast browning control to 1.

When toasting a single slice of bread, the inner slice will be cooked slightly more than the outer side. This is normal for toasters that cook side by side as some of the heat is transferred from the unused cooking slot.

CARE AND CLEANING

Switch toaster off, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the toaster cool down before you start cleaning it.

Wipe the outside of the toaster with a moist cloth and dry it with another cloth or paper towel.

Do not use scouring or abrasive cleaning on any part of the toaster.

To avoid damage to the toaster heating elements do not use any metallic utensils to clean the inside of the toaster.

Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if the tray is not emptied frequently.

When the toaster has cooled completely, tap the sides of the toaster lightly to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toaster chamber and pull out the crumb tray.

If toast gets stuck in the slot, unplug the appliance and wait until the toaster has cooled down before removing slices.

Only use approved Dualit accessories on top of the toaster when in use.

If powercord is damaged, it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Dualit or an authorized Dualit repairer.
