BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Set the browning level to maximum (6).
2. Operate the appliance empty, to cure the new elements.
3. This may smell a bit, but it’s nothing to worry about. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
TOASTING
Toasting involves exposing bread to a controlled heat, which causes a chemical reaction called
the ‘Maillard Reaction’. This doesn’t just brown the bread, but alters the avour and texture,
which is why toast tastes so good!
Since toasting is a combination of drying then cooking the bread, it is aected by various factors
such as dierences in the bread’s thickness, freshness and surface texture. Local and regional
variations in household electricity voltages can also have an eect on toasting time which is
why we would advise to initially try dierent toasting settings in order to nd your perfect
shade of toast.
TOASTING BREAD
1. Sit the toaster upright on a rm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the plug into the power socket.
3. Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark).
4. Put bread into the toasting slots.
5. Press the lever down fully. It won’t lock down unless the toaster is connected to the
electricity supply.
6. The light will come on and the elements will heat up.
7. When it’s done, the toast will pop up.
8. If you need to, you can use the toast extraction tongs to help remove smaller items from
the toasting slots.
9. To stop toasting, press 5.
You may raise the lever further, to remove small items.
You may raise the lever during toasting, to check progress, then lower it again.
FROZEN BREAD
1. Leave the browning level at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the lever,
then press f.
2. The light next to the f button will come on, and the toasting time will be altered
automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
