Check if the 'neon' is glowing red.
If yes, your elements or 'selector' switch may need
replacing.
If no, your plug fuse may have blown or your timer may need
replacing
Check the selector switch is set for the number of slots being
used.
Starting from the left, ensure you have loaded all heated up
slots.
The heavy duty proheat elements can take a few moments to reach
optimum toasting temperature. preheating the slots prior to
inserting your bread will eliminate this. Rotate the 'timer' all
the way round, let it wind down to the circle indicator then insert
your bread into the active slots.
Ensure size and type of bread being toasted is the same.
End elements take a little longer to warm up than centre
elements, once toaster is at optimum operating temperature this
will no longer occur.
The timer is noticably slow, unplug and do not use the toaster.

setting only one side will toast and remember to insert bread from
the very left hand slot.

helpline or visit www.dualit.com for replacements.
If this is the first time using your toaster, this is normal,
your elements are being conditioned.
Empty the crumb tray. A build up of crumbs can burn or cause a

over a sink or bin and gently shake the crumbs out or use a soft
brush to clean inside your toaster.

immediately. Spare timers are available from www.dualit.com and
must be fitted by a qualified electrical engineer.
