TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Bread rack lever does not
stay down.
Bread is toasted unevenly.
Inside elements are dull
compared to outside.
Toast is too brown or too
light.
Reason
There is no power to the
appliance.
Heat has dispersed
unevenly due to one slice
of toast being used.
The appliance is warmer
in the center so the inside
elements are not as
powerful as the outside
elements.
Thickness and type of
bread will determine
moisture content.
Action
Check that the mains
switch is working and in
the “ON” position.
Four slices of toast will
give better results.
This is normal.
Use browning control
to adjust to the required
toasting time.
Pre-caution
Too many appliances on
the same circuit could
overload it.
Do not place any sharp
objects into the toaster
or this will create a
hazard.
Keep the crumb tray
clean to avoid a hazard
and the infestation of
insects.
