Morphy Richards Hive 2 Slice Toaster - Cream

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Keep the user manual for future reference.
2. Placement: Position the toaster on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls, curtains, and other flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the toaster.
3. First Use: Before toasting bread, operate the toaster for a few minutes on a medium setting without any bread inside. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminates any initial odor. It is normal for a slight smell to occur during this first use.
4. Plug In: Connect the power cord to a suitable wall outlet.

Compatibility

This toaster is designed for standard bread slices. While it may accommodate some thinner bagels or crumpets, very thick artisan bread or large bagels might not fit well or toast evenly due to the standard slot width.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning the Exterior: Always ensure the toaster is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal polish, as these can damage the finish.
• Emptying the Crumb Tray: Regularly slide out the removable crumb tray from the bottom, empty the crumbs, and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the tray is fully dry before reinserting it.
• Internal Cleaning: Never insert utensils or your fingers into the toaster slots. Do not shake the toaster to remove crumbs as this can damage internal elements.
• Storage: Use the built-in cord tidy to neatly wrap the power cord when storing the toaster or when not in use.

Safety Notes

• Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
• Do not cover the toaster while in use.
• Always unplug the toaster when not in use and before cleaning.
