Kenwood TCM810 - Toaster Manual

safety

• Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
• Remove all packaging and any labels.
• If the plug or cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Kenwood or an authorised Kenwood repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
• Burnt food can catch fire, so:
  • never leave your toaster on unattended;
  • keep your toaster away from anything (e.g. curtains) that could catch fire;
  • set the browning control lower for thin or dry bread;
  • never warm food with a topping or filling (e.g. pizza): if it drips into the toaster, it could catch fire.
  • Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.
• To avoid electric shocks, never:
  • let the toaster, cord or plug get wet; or
  • put your hand or anything metal, e.g. a knife or foil, into the toaster.
• Always unplug the toaster when not in use, before cleaning or attempting to clear jammed bread.
• Never cover your toaster with a plate or anything else - it could overheat and catch fire.
• Never let the cord hang down where a child could grab it.
• We recommend that you do not use your toaster directly under wall cupboards.
• Do not move the toaster whilst it is in operation.
• External metal surfaces are liable to get hot especially the top area.
• Never touch hot surfaces especially the metal top area.
• Never set the browning control higher than when using the warming rack.
• Never completely cover the warming rack.
• When using the warming rack, never wrap the food up. Plastic wrapping will melt and could catch fire. Foil will reflect heat, damaging the toaster.
• If you are using the toaster slots, always remove the warming rack so it cannot burn you.
• Never use an unauthorised attachment or accessory.
• We do not recommend using the toaster for non bread items. For non bread items that are specifically recommended for use in a toaster follow the manufacturer's guidelines and cooking instructions. Remove loose crumbs and clean the crumb tray before and after use.
• Never use a damaged toaster. Get it checked or repaired: see 'Service & Customer Care'.

before plugging in

Plug and Fuse Information

• The wires in the cord are coloured as follows:
  Green and Yellow = Earth
  Blue = Neutral
  Brown = Live.
• If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted it is rated either 10A or 13A. If the fuse fails it must be replaced with one of the same rating.
• If the plug or cord requires replacing a new cord set should be fitted by an Authorised Kenwood Repairer.
• 
  THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Note:

• For non-rewireable plugs the fuse cover MUST be refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost then the plug must not be used until a replacement can be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by colour and a replacement may be obtained from your Kenwood Authorised Repairer (see Service).
• If a non-rewireable plug is cut off it must be DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock hazard may arise if an unwanted non-rewireable plug is inadvertently inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
• This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

before using for the first time

• (A) - Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips in the base .
  
• Operate the toaster once on a medium setting without bread. (The lever will not stay down unless the toaster is plugged in).
• As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight burning smell when it is first switched on. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

hints on using your toaster

• Select a lower setting for light browning or for dry bread.
• When toasting a single slice of bread, you may notice a variation in toast colour from one side to the other - this is normal.
• Dry/stale bread toasts more quickly than fresh bread and thinly sliced bread toasts more quickly than thickly sliced bread. Therefore the browning control should be set at a lower setting than usual.
• For best results ensure that the bread slices are of an even thickness, freshness and size.
• In order to achieve uniform browning we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the control can automatically reset. Alternatively select a lower setting when additional toasting is carried out.

to use the warming rack (if supplied)

1. Place the warming rack on top of toaster.
2. Put your bread items on top of the rack (slicing thick items in half will speed up the warming process).
3. Set the browning control no higher than . Lower the lever.
4. The lever will automatically rise at the end of the warming cycle. Turn the items over and repeat the operation. Watch to make sure they do not burn.
5. To remove the warming rack, allow the toaster to cool and unplug. Lift off the warming rack .

care and cleaning

1. Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
2. (B) - Push to release and then slide out the crumb tray 7. Clean, then replace. Do this regularly: crumbs can smoke or even burn. Do not dishwash the crumb tray.
