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.
ThE SANDWICh CAGE

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.
using a cage also offers greater toasting control, for
toasting smaller items such as crumpets, scones, teacakes
or muffins.
•
•
•
•
•
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).
ThE WARMING RACK
When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. uneven slices will
toast unevenly.
The ‘warming rack’ is a universal accessory for all Dualit
NewGen Toasters.
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!
perfect for warming or lightly toasting any bread product
that will not fit inside the slots. Such as croissants, scones,
pastries or tortillas.

use for a maximum of 3 minutes and then allow to cool
between each use.
Cancel toasting manually at any time by rotating the timer back to ‘O’.
This will not damage your timer.
