Did you know that all toasters sold in Europe and North America regardless of brand, including all Dualit models, are classified as an ‘Attended Appliance’ by international approval bodies and the international safety standards which govern small electrical appliances including toasters? A toaster should not be left in operation without being supervised. Put simply, toasting bread is the process of applying heat to a combustible substance and therefore, care and attention must always be taken when using a toaster. This applies to any make or model of toaster.
