FAQs

How do I select the toasting shade?

On the colour touchscreen, you will see a visual representation of the shade settings, typically numbered 1-6. Tap the desired shade number to select it before starting the toasting cycle.

Can I toast different types of bread at the same time?

Yes, you can place different types of bread in each slot. However, each slot toasts independently based on its last selected setting or preset. For optimal results, it is best to use the same setting for both slices if they are similar.

What does the '+15 Seconds' function do?

The '+15 Seconds' function adds an additional 15 seconds to the current toasting cycle, which is useful if your toast is slightly too light and you want it a bit darker without having to restart the entire process.

Is the touchscreen durable?

The touchscreen is designed for everyday use. To maintain its condition, always use clean, dry fingers to operate it and avoid using abrasive materials for cleaning.

How often should I clean the crumb tray?

It is recommended to empty and clean the crumb tray after each use or at least daily, especially if toasting frequently. This helps prevent crumb build-up, which can be a fire hazard and affect performance.

What is the 'Defrost' setting for?

The 'Defrost' setting is designed to toast frozen bread products, such as frozen waffles or bread slices. It adjusts the toasting time and temperature to ensure they are properly toasted without burning.

Can I stop the toasting cycle early?

Yes, you can press the 'Cancel' button on the touchscreen at any time to immediately stop the toasting cycle.

Troubleshooting

Toaster does not power on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet has power by plugging in another small appliance. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Uneven toasting.

Ensure bread is centered within the slots. Check for any obstructions. For manual adjustments, use the shade settings and consider using the +15 Seconds boost if needed. Ensure the correct preset is selected for the type of bread.

Touchscreen is unresponsive.

Ensure your fingers are clean and dry. Try unplugging the toaster for 60 seconds, then plugging it back in to reset the system. If the issue continues, contact customer support.

Crumb tray is difficult to remove or reinsert.

Ensure the toaster is completely cool. Check for any bent parts on the tray or slot. Gently align the tray and slide it in or out. Do not force it.
