improper or irresponsible use and/or for repairs made to the
product by unauthorised personnel.
After removing the appliance from the packaging, make sure
that the product is complete and in perfect condition. Ensure all
labels and packaging have been removed from the toaster.
The plastic bag in which the appliance was packaged should be
kept out of reach of children as it poses a suffocation hazard.
Remove any dust that may have accumulated on the appliance
during transit by dusting it off with a soft dry cloth.
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make certain:
- The voltage of the socket corresponds to the value indicated
on the information label, attached to the appliance.
- The electrical socket is earthed, the manufacturer
declines any responsibility for the lack of observation of this
norm.
In the case of incompatibility between the socket and the plug
of the appliance, have it replaced by a qualified technician. The
use of adapters, multiple socket units and/or extension cables is
not recommended. Whenever it may be necessary to use such
equipment, it is advisable to use only single or multiple adapters
or extension cables which comply with the current safety standards, and make sure not to exceed the wattage limit of the
adapter or extension cable.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

Electrical Requirements

Warning

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicat- this appliance must be earthed
ed on the product corresponds with the main voltage in
Green and Yellow to
Earth
your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable
plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of, (having removed the fuse) and not
left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with
the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets
that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
Important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

13 amp
Fuse

Blue to
Neutral

EARTH
NEUTRAL
LIVE

GREEN AND YELLOW

BLUE
BROWN

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the
earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin
socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this
operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be
replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover must be refitted. If the
fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover
is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of
the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the
plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362
should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the toaster.
As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight
burning or new smell when it is first switched on. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
To eliminate the new smell at the first use, operate the toaster
on a medium setting without any without any bread inside.
Ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation.
TO USE YOUR TOASTER
Make sure than the ON levers (B) are at the rest position. Move
the browning control dial (D) to the desired setting.
Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.
Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots (A) and
lower the lever (B) until it is all the way down.
Note: If the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet,
the lever (B) will not stay down.
When the toasting is finished, the lever returns to the rest position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.
If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker degree of toasting by turning the browning control dial (D).
The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the
Stop/Cancel button (I). Never lift the lever (B) to cancel toasting.
Caution: the bread toasting slots become very hot during operation. Do not touch.
Defrost function
Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the Defrost button (F) immediately after lowering the lever (B); the toasting cycle
will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired browning. The
defrost indicator light will remain lit while the defrost function is in
use.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

Select a lower setting for light browning, for toasting one slice
only 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 that you
wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting so that the
heating control can reset. Alternatively select a lower setting
when additional toasting is carried out.
PRECAUTIONS
Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no
bread inside) except on first use.
Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.
Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more difficult,
these may cause fires.
Clean the crumb tray regularly: crumbs can smoke or burn.
Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.
Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order
to remove bread.As well as damaging the toaster, there is a high
risk of electric shock.
Should some toast remain blocked in the toaster, remove the
plug from the mains, wait for the toaster to cool down until it is
safe to touch, then turn the toaster over and shake it gently.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, unplug your toaster and let it cool down.
The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents that can ruin the surface.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and
empty the crumb collection tray that is under the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH
SHARP OR METAL UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE
BREAD TOASTING SLOTS. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
SERVICE AND CUSTOMER CARE
If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be repaired by
DeLonghi or an authorised DeLonghi repairer.
