These are recommendations only. After a short period of use, experience will
teach you which setting is the right one for your needs. It is advisable to initially
start off with a lower setting until you become familiar with the toaster.

hints & tips:
●
Don't make the slot width too narrow or close the sandwich cage too tightly
and squash the food item.
●
Slices should be cleanly cut and not have ragged edges.
●
For frozen bread use a browning control setting higher than you would
normally use for the type of bread.
●
Cut ingredients thinly - do not use large chunks.
●
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 browning control setting when additional
toasting is carried out.
food safety:
●
Thoroughly cook or re-heat ingredients such as meat or fish
prior to adding them to the food item and ensure all
ingredients are piping hot throughout before serving. Do not
re-heat ingredients more than once.
●
Do not leave hot ingredients to cool before toasting the food item.
●
Ensure all ingredients particularly meat or fish are fresh and
used within use-by dates.
●
Use other vegetable ingredients at room temperature to avoid
them chilling the hot cooked ingredients.
