PRELIMINARIES
Unpack your toaster carefully. Retain the packaging so that you can transport
the appliance safely at a later date.
Before using your toaster:
Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate under the toaster and the
base matches your mains voltage: Please read all the instructions in this User
Guide with particular reference to the safety notes.
CONNECTING YOUR TOASTER
Place the toaster on a stable, level surface. Make sure the mains cable does not
foul the toaster feet.
USING YOUR TOASTER
Your TESCO toaster can be used to toast a wide variety of bread. As personal
preference plays a great part, we suggest that you try different settings. Try the
lower settings first, gradually increasing the timer setting until you find the
right one for your circumstances.
If bread smokes then use a lower setting to stop it burning.

BASIC OPERATION
Ensure that the mains socket is switched off at the wall and connect the
c
appliance cord to the wall socket. Now switch on the power.
The two sets of controls can be used to toast different types of bread or to set
different browning levels. Set each timer control to the desired setting. Press
each carriage down gently until it latches. The toasting cycle will commence. If
d
the mains power to the appliance is off, the carriage levers will not stay down.
When the bread has toasted, the carriage will 'pop up' and the toaster will
e
switch off. The toast can now be safely removed from the toaster.
A small spark may be visible when the toaster switches off. This is
f
normal as the switch disconnects.
At any time the toasting cycle can be stopped by pressing the CANCEL button.
g
The toast will pop up and the toaster will switch off.
h
Note: If you interrupt the toasting cycle, always use the CANCEL button. Do
NOT force the carriage lever up or you may damage the appliance.
Never remove bread while it is toasting. Press the correct CANCEL button first.
Operating Features
Independent Timer Controls:
Turn each control clockwise
(higher setting) to increase
toasting time and anti-
clockwise to decrease the time
(lower setting).
Defrost: Frozen sliced bread
may be defrosted and toasted in
one operation. During this cycle
extra time is added to
compensate for the frozen
bread. Adjust the control to the
preferred setting, press the
FROZEN button and then press the carriage lever to switch on the toaster. The
Frozen indicator will glow and the bread will toast as normal.
Bagel: This setting is useful for bagels, muffins or dark wholemeal bread.
When toasting large bagels or muffins cut them in half lengthways to fir in the
toaster wells. DO NOT force oversize bread items into the toaster wells.
Reheat: Use the REHEAT button to reheat cooled, toasted bread. Press the
REHEAT button and then press the carriage lever down. The Reheat indicator
will glow and the bread will be reheated. The toaster will then switch off.
