FAQs
What is the 'Lift & Look' feature?
The 'Lift & Look' feature allows you to lift the toast carriage midway through the toasting cycle to check the browning progress without canceling the toasting process. Simply press the lever up.
How do I use the 'Defrost' function?

Can I toast thick bagels or artisanal bread?
Yes, the Breville Bold 2 Slice Toaster features deep and variable width slots designed to accommodate a range of bread thicknesses, including bagels and crumpets.
How often should I clean the crumb tray?
It is recommended to empty and clean the crumb tray after each use or at least once a week, depending on usage, to prevent crumb build-up and maintain optimal performance.
What is the power rating of this toaster?
This Breville Bold 2 Slice Toaster has a power rating of 900W.
Can I toast more than two slices at once?
No, this model is specifically designed to toast a maximum of two slices at a time.
Troubleshooting
Toaster does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance. Ensure the lever is pushed down fully to engage.
Toast is burning or not toasting evenly.
Adjust the variable browning control to a lower or higher setting as needed. Ensure the bread slices are centered in the slots. Clean the crumb tray, as a full tray can sometimes affect performance.
Bread gets stuck in the slot.
Unplug the toaster immediately and allow it to cool. Gently try to dislodge the bread with a non-metallic utensil (like a wooden chopstick). Do not force it. Never use metal utensils to remove stuck items.
The 'Lift & Look' or 'High Lift' feature is not working.
Ensure the toaster is plugged in and the lever is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, there may be an internal mechanism problem. Contact customer support.
