Frequently Asked Questions

My toaster is not working

I get uneven toasting

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

One side of my bread is not toasting
