Frequently Asked Questions

Can I toast just 2 slices in a 4-slot toaster to save energy?
Yes. You can use just one pair of slots, leaving the other pair empty. The 62396 operates normally with 2 or 4 slices loaded.

What is the wholemeal preset for?
Wholemeal bread is denser and contains more moisture than white bread, requiring a longer, slightly more intense toasting cycle for the same visual browning. The wholemeal preset is calibrated specifically for this — preventing a scenario where the outside browns before the centre warms through.

Does the croissant preset work for pain au chocolat and other pastries?
The croissant preset is a warm-up programme — gentle heat that refreshes pastries without over-crisping. It works well for croissants, pain au chocolat, and Danish pastries.

Is the crumb tray dishwasher-safe?
The removable crumb tray can be rinsed and wiped down. For full cleaning we recommend hand washing. Always ensure it is fully dry before replacing.
