Toasting Tips
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch
power off, remove the plug from the power
outlet and ease the bread out of the
toaster.
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even
halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do
not force them into the toaster.
• When toasting only one piece in your
Maestro 4 slice toaster (TA6440) position
the bread in the middle of the bread slot.
When toasting two pieces in your 4 slice
toaster, position one piece in the centre of
each slot.
• If toasting 1 slice (in the TA6240
Maestro 2) or 2 slices (in the TA6440
Maestro 4) it is recommended that you
use a lower toaster setting to achieve your
required result and to prevent burning.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife
or any other metal object, as contact with the
live element may cause electrocution.
