- ProHeat Elements: These award-winning, patented elements are designed to increase toasting efficiency and extend the lifespan of the heating elements.
- Interruptor selector: This control allows you to activate specific slots, enabling you to toast 1 or 2 slices, or use a bagel setting which heats only the inner elements. This feature contributes to energy efficiency.
- Temporitzador mecànic: A precise dial to set your desired browning level and toasting duration.
- Funció de descongelació: Integrated into the timer dial, this setting provides additional toasting time for frozen items.
- Manual Ejector: Unlike automatic pop-up toasters, the Dualit toaster features a manual ejector lever. This allows you to check toast progress at any time and keeps the toast warm in the slots until you are ready to retrieve it.
- Safata de molles extraïble: Located at the base of the toaster, this tray collects crumbs for easy and hygienic disposal.

- Selecciona les franges horàries: Use the upper Selector Switch to choose the number of slots you wish to activate (e.g., 'I' for one slot, 'II' for two slots).

Defrosting Frozen Items
To toast frozen bread or other frozen items, place them in the slots and set the Mechanical Timer dial to the defrost setting (often indicated by a snowflake symbol or a specific time setting for frozen items). This function adds extra time to the toasting cycle to account for the frozen state.
Using the Warming Rack (Accessory)
The Dualit Warming Rack (sold separately) can be placed on top of the toaster to warm items such as croissants, buns, or pastries without inserting them into the slots. Follow the instructions provided with the warming rack for proper use.
Using the Sandwich Cage (Accessory)
For toasting sandwiches or smaller items, the Dualit Sandwich Cage (sold separately) can be used. This accessory holds the food securely and includes a built-in drip tray. Insert the sandwich cage with your food into the toaster slot and operate as usual. Allow an additional minute after toasting for thorough heating of the sandwich filling.
