toasting bread
1 Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
2 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
3 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught or tripped over
accidentally.
4 If overcooked, bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or
other combustible materials, and watch it while it’s in use.
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 (min = light, max = dark).
7 Put bread into the toasting slots (maximum thickness 25mm).
8 Press the bread carriage handle down fully – it’ll only lock down if the toaster is
connected to the electricity supply.
9 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, and the elements will turn off.
10 The area round the toasting slots gets hot – don’t touch!
extra lift
After toasting small items (bagels, crumpets, etc.) the bread carriage handle may be
raised further, to allow them to be removed more easily.
eject 5
To stop toasting, press the 5 button. The toast will pop up, and the elements will turn
off.
frozen bread f
This takes the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread.
1 Leave the browning control at the setting you use with normal, unfrozen bread.
2 Put the frozen bread into the slots, lower the bread carriage handle, to start the
toaster, then press the f button.
3 The toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same degree of
browning you get with unfrozen bread.
4 The light will come on, and the elements will heat up.
5 When it’s done, the toast will pop up, the light will go out, and the elements will
turn off.
reheating toast
When reheating toast, use a low setting, otherwise you’ll burn your toast. Don’t reheat
buttered toast, it may catch fire. Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.
hints and tips
, If you’re toasting more than one slice of bread, make sure the slices are of similar
size, thickness and freshness, otherwise they’ll brown differently.
, Old (yesterday’s) bread contains less moisture that fresh bread, so makes crisper
toast.
, Old or thin bread cooks faster than fresh or thick bread, so you should use a lighter
setting.
, Sweet bread products (tea cakes, fruit loaf, etc.) brown much more quickly than
ordinary bread, so should be toasted on a lighter setting.
