4 . ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS
• Toasting bread involves drying and cooking it. This is why breads
with different moisture levels will require different toasting times .
• A slightly dry bread will require a setting slightly lower than normal.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting
than normal .
• Breads with a very uneven surface (like muffins) will require a higher
setting .
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to
toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must
evaporate from the bread before toasting can occur . Two cycles
may be necessary for very thick slices .
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins,
etc . from the surface of the bread before inserting it into the toaster .
This will help prevent pieces of fruit from falling into the toaster or
sticking to the guides in the slot .
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
• If you wish to toast a single slice of bread, select a lighter setting
than usual . The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting
chamber for two slices . By selecting a lower setting for a single slice,
you won't burn your bread .
• Be careful when toasting pastries in your toaster because the filling

can become hot before the surface has browned . Never leave the
appliance unattended while toasting or warming pastries .
5 . CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
• Unplug the toaster from the mains before cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Simply wipe the outside
of the toaster with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly . If you use a
cleaning product, apply a little to a cloth and not directly onto the
toaster before cleaning .
• To remove crumbs, slide the crumb tray out of the appliance and
discard the crumbs . Wipe clean and replace in the toaster . Never
turn on the toaster before replacing the crumb tray .
• To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the
toaster upside down and gently shake . Never insert any hard or
sharp instruments into the slot as this could damage the toaster
and the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed .
• Never wrap the power lead around the appliance. Use the storage
space on the underside of the toaster .
