[. . . ] 8 If you're only using one slot, don't let anything get into the empty slot, as both slots will be "live" when the bread carriage handle is lowered. 9 Don't cover the toaster, or put anything on top of it ­ you'll cause a fire hazard. 10 If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, then carefully remove the bread. Don't use anything sharp, you'll damage the elements. [. . . ] Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught. Don't use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible materials and watch it while it's hot. 5 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). 6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark). 7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 38mm). 8 Press the bread carriage handle down fully ­ it won't lock down unless the toaster is connected to the electricity supply. 9 The 5 button will light up, and the elements will heat up. 10 When it's done, the light in the 5 button will go out, the elements will turn off, and the toast will pop up. 11 To stop the toaster before it's finished, press the 5 button. The light in the 5 button will go out, the elements will turn off, and the toast will pop up. 12 This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread. 13 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the f button. 14 The f button will light up, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread. caution don't try to defrost bread ­ you'll probably wreck the toaster a) toasting frozen bread changes ice to steam, which escapes via the toasting slots b) defrosting bread on a low setting changes ice to water, which drips into the toaster, over the electronics and maybe the elements, causing mayhem 15 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the bread carriage handle, then press the m button. 16 The m button will light up, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then it'll pop up, and the lights will go out. 17 You must only reheat plain, "unbuttered" toast. 1 2 3 4 eject 5 frozen bread f reheating toast m extra lift H 18 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc. ) the bread carriage handle may be raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily. hints and tips 19 When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness. 20 Old (yesterday's) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast. 21 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread ­ use a lighter setting. 22 Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc. ) brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting. 4 crumbs 23 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard. [. . . ] It's on the rating plate (usually underneath the product). The product isn't user-serviceable. If it's not working, read the instructions, check the plug fuse and main fuse/circuit breaker. If it's still not working, consult your retailer. [. . . ]
