IMpORTANT -
BEFORE USING
Your Dualit toaster has patented proheat
elements. These elements need to be
conditioned before toasting for the very first
time. Then continue to toast as per the
instructions.
The toaster is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote-control system.
•
•
Accessible surfaces of the toaster may
get hot during use.
NOTE: Any plug cut from power
supply cord should be disposed of
immediately. Inserting any cut off plug
into a 13A socket-outlet is hazardous.
•
Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted. Ensure replacement fuse is
the same current value as original.
•
•
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362.
Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner.
Set the selector switch so ALL the slots
are active, with NO bread in the slots, turn
the timer all the way round and let it run
back to the off position.
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.
WARNING: This appliance must be
earthed.
Some smoke may vent from the slots,
THIS IS NOT A FAULT and is perfectly
safe. There may be a slight popping crinkling
sound, this is due to heat expansion of the
elements and is perfectly normal.
SAVETHESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Accessible surfaces of
the toaster may get

toasting smaller items such as crumpets, scones, teacakes
or muffins.
ThE WARMING RACK

TOASTING TIpS
here are a few tips to help get the best out of your toaster.
•
FULLy LOAD ALL HEATED UP SLOTS. If a slot is heated but no bread is
inserted, the bread in the adjacent slot will toast unevenly.
•
•
ALwAyS LOADyOUR SLOTS STARTINg FROmTHE LEFT.
DIFFERENT bREADS wILLTOAST AT DIFFERENT RATES, wholemeal
bread takes longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread.
Remember to adjust your timer to allow for your particular type of bread.
•
•
•
•
•
After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be at full operating
temperature, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast.
The thickest slice of bread that will fit in your toaster is 28mm thick. Forcing bread
which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted.
You may find it easier to use a ‘sandwich cage’ to toast smaller items. Inserting,
checking and removing will all be easier (sold separately).
When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will
toast unevenly.
Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may
burn out the elements. With the toaster unplugged use a soft brush to clean inside
your toaster, do not use a knife!
•
•
To reheat recently made toast set timer to ‘defrost’ symbol.
Cancel toasting manually at any time by rotating the timer back to ‘O’.
This will not damage your timer.
•
Always unplug your toaster from the wall socket after use.

RESETTING ThERMAL FUSE
If the toaster neon illuminates, but the elements fail to warm up or if there is an audible
‘click’ above the normal ticking of the timer from the toaster while it is still operating, you
may have activated the Thermal Protection Device.
Before resetting you must ensure that there is not a fault within the appliance. Do not
reset unless a qualified electrician has examined the toaster and verified that the
Selector Switch, Timer and all other Components are in good working order.
The Thermal Protection Device can be reset by allowing the toaster to fully cool,
unplugging the toaster from the wall socket and following instructions below.
Resetting the Thermal Protection Device should only be carried out by a qualified
electrician. The toaster must be Portable Appliance Tested following reset of the
