TOASTING TIPS

Here are a few tips to help get the best out of your toaster.

• Different breads will toast at different rates, wholemeal bread takes longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread. Remember to adjust your browning control to allow for your particular type of bread.

• After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be heated up, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast.

• At any time during the toasting cycle you can lift the toasting lever and check the progress of the toasting.

• Use the bagel setting to toast burger buns, bagels, muffins or tea cakes, this setting toasts one side whilst gently warming the other.

• The thickest slice of bread that will fit in your toaster is 36mm thick. Forcing bread which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted.

• You may find it easier to use a ‘sandwich cage’ to toast smaller items. Inserting and removing items will be easier (sold separately).

• When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.

• Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may burn out the elements. With the toaster unplugged use a soft brush to clean inside your toaster, do not use a knife!

• To reheat recently made toast set the browning control to 1.

• Cancel toasting manually at any time by pressing the cancel button on the browning control knob.

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

TO REPLACE FUSE,

REMOVE SILVER LABEL

TO ACCESS SCREW.

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

MY TOASTER IS NOT WORKING:

1. The toaster may not be properly connected to the power supply.

SOLUTION(S)

1. Check the plug is in the socket and the switch in turned on.

2. If your lever is not staying down.

2. Check if the ‘neon’ is glowing blue.

If yes, unplug the toaster and call service centre

If no, your plug fuse may have blown.

I GET UNEVEN TOASTING:

1. Different bread types and sizes have been used at the same time.

2. End elements take a little longer to warm up than centre elements.

1. Ensure size and type of bread being toasted is the same.

2. Once toaster is at optimum operating temperature this will no longer occur.

MY TOAST DOESN’T POP UP WHEN THE TOASTER HAS FINISHED:

1. There may be a fault with the toaster.

1. If the power neon remains illuminated, immediately unplug the toaster and call service centre.

2. Your bread may be too thick 2.1 Slices thicker than 36mm will get stuck.

2.2 Hand cut slice must be cut evenly.

2.3 Using a ‘sandwich cage’ can make toasting thicker items easier.

ONE SIDE OF MY BREAD IS NOT TOASTING

1. If set to Bagel setting only one side will toast.

1. Press the bagel button to cancel the setting.

Remember to insert bread from the very left hand slot.

SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE SLOTS

1. If this is the first time using your toaster, this is normal, your elements are being conditioned.

2. The crumb tray might be full. A build up of crumbs can burn or cause a fire.

3. Some crumbs or pieces of bread may be stuck in the toaster.

1. This will dissipate after a few uses.

2. Empty the crumb tray.

3. Unplug, remove the crumb tray then turn the toaster upside down over a sink or bin and gently shake the crumbs out.
