User manual RUSSELL HOBBS 4 SLICE TOASTER 18099

[. . . ] 8 If you're only using one of a pair of toasting slots, don't let anything get into the other slot, as both slots will become "live" when you lower the bread carriage handle. 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. [. . . ] 5 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). , Treat the left and right pairs of toasting slots as independent 2-slot toasters ­ his and hers, yours and mine ­ whatever works for you. 6 Turn the browning control to the required setting (1 = light, 6 = dark). 7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 30mm (1¥in). 8 Press the lever down fully ­ it won't lock down unless the toaster is connected to the electricity supply. 9 The 5 button will glow, and the elements will heat up. 10 When it's done, the toast will pop up and the elements will turn off. 1 2 3 4 extra lift 11 After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc. ) the bread carriage handle may be raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily. 12 To stop the toaster before it's finished, press the 5 button. 13 The elements will turn off, the lights will go out, and the toast will pop up. 14 This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread. 15 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the frozen bread, lower the lever, then press the f button. 16 The f button will glow, and the toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread. 17 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, insert the bread, lower the lever, then press the m button. 18 The m button will glow, the toast will be given a short burst of heat, then it'll pop up, and the light will go out. 19 You must only reheat plain, "unbuttered" toast. eject 5 frozen bread f reheating toast m b bagel 20 Conventionally, only the brown crusty surfaces of bagels are toasted; the soft inner surfaces are just warmed, not browned. 21 Split your bagel, and put the two halves into the slots with the brown crusts facing the outside elements. 22 Leave the browning control at your favoured setting, press the lever fully down, then press the b button. 23 The b button will glow, the brown outsides of the bagel will be toasted, and the cut sides will be warmed. 4 , If you're not conventional, and prefer your bagels toasted on the cut side, feel free to put them into the slots the other way round ­ we won't tell anyone! hints and tips 24 When toasting more than one slice, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness. 25 Old (yesterday's) bread contains less moisture, so makes crisper toast. 26 Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread ­ use a lighter setting.
