It is normal for some types of bread to cook unevenly. In order to achieve uniform browning, we recommend you wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting, so that the control can be automatically reset.

On some 4 slice models you would need to latch the left hand slot 1st before engaging the right side. If this isnt the turn the toaster upside down and shake vigorously to dislodge any bread that may be stuck inside. If this doesn't resolve the problem, check that your product is within the warranty period and return it to the place of purchase along with your receipt.

Please turn toaster upside down and shake aggressively in case something is stuck, if that doesn’t work please take back to place of purchase with your receipt for a replacement or refund.

If toasting one slice only, you may need to adjust the Browning Control (2) to a slightly lower setting.You will notice a variation in toast colour on one side of a single slice. The side facing the inner wall of the Bread Slot (1) will be darker in colour than the side facing the outer wall of the bread slot. 

When toasting two slices it is recommended they are of equal size and freshness. 

All sorts of bread can be used as well as teacakes, small rolls etc. Slices should not however be so thick as to cause burning or jamming within the Bread Slots.

If the bread in your toaster becomes jammed, disconnect your toaster at the socket, allow it to cool, then remove the bread.

If you have used the coffeemaker for quite some time and the temperature of the coffee decreases, we advise you to descale the coffeemaker.

The amount of ground coffee put in the filter influences the coffee strength. In general, 1 level coffee spoon is enough for 1 small cup of coffee. Depending on your strength preference, you can use less ground coffee for a milder taste and more ground coffee for a stronger taste. You can also adjust the brew strength for any volume of coffee using the strength elector depnding on your model - please refer to you instruction manual.

If you live in a hard water area, we recommend that your coffee maker is descaled at regular intervals, every 2-3 months. In moderately hard water, you should descale every 6 months. 

If the water filters through more slowly than usual, it is a sign that descaling may be necessary, or the coffee maybe too tightly packed.

We recommend you use a proprietary liquid descaler which is especially made for coffee makers and plastic kettles. Follow the instructions on the bottle or sachet, and then operate the coffee maker with just water 3 times before making coffee. Do not use a kettle descaler unless the packet specifically states it is suitable for coffee makers. Note: The removable permanent filter should not be used during descaling.

Unplug your coffee maker and allow to cool. Do not immerse your coffee maker in liquid. Rinse the Water Reservoir occasionally with cold water. Do not use a cloth as any residue or lint may be left behind to clog the coffee maker. Remove the Removable Permanent Filter, discard any used coffee and wash. Extended soaking helps to remove coffee stains from the mesh. Wash the Glass Carafe, Carafe Lid, and Removable Filter Holder in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Refit the Removable Permanent Filter and Removable Filter Holder. Wipe all external surfaces, including the Hot Plate, with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Steam control dial is open - rotate the steam control dial so it is closed.

The coffee is not compact enough - tamp the coffee before inserting.

Check the fuse. Try a new fuse with the same rating. Try a different appliance in the socket as it may be the socket that is at fault. Check that the auto shut off has not operated. Check the temperature control has not been set to MIN.

Adjust the temperature control to ensure the setting matches that recommended on the garment or refer to the “Temperature guide” section. Allow the iron to reach temperature and stabilise for 1-2 minutes if it has just been plugged in, or has just been woken up from auto shut off.  Can also try to reset the thermostat by turning the temp dial all the way to minimum then back to maximum 10 times.

Ensure the temperature is set within the steam band and that the steam level is set to the correct level (refer to the “Temperature guide” section). Check that there is enough water in the tank. If the auto shut off feature has activated, wake up the iron and allow it to reach temperature before using steam. Perform a self clean to clear away limescale inside the iron (refer to “Self Clean” section)

Ensure the temperature is set within the steam band (refer to the “Temperature guide” section). The iron will not be hot enough to produce steam if the temperature is set too low. The steam level should be set lower if the temperature is set lower (refer to the “Temperature guide” section) to prevent it from dripping. If the auto shut off feature has activated, wake up the iron and allow it to reach temperature before using steam.

Try using a different socket. Ensure there are no other appliances being used on the same set of sockets as the iron.

If the iron is new, this is residue from manufacturing materials and will diminish after the first couple of uses. If the iron has been used many times, this could be a sign of limescale build-up and a self clean should be performed. Please see “Maintaining your iron” section.

Your iron has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in a hard water area it is recommended to mix 50% distilled water and 50% tap water, or to use only distilled water to prevent scale building up and to prolong the lifetime of your iron. Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water tank.

Yes, the Turbo Glide 2800W Steam Iron has a self-cleaning function. See page 6 of the instruction manual for more details.

Self clean is required. Refer to the instruction booklet for self clean instructions. Descaling required if not a self clean iron - use a suitable descaler for plastic parts and follow instructions on the packet. The iron may also require new filter cartridges.

Always empty the water tank after use and store the iron in an upright position to avoid corrosion and damage to the soleplate.

Check that there is enough water in the tank. If the iron’s auto shut off feature has activated, wake up the iron and allow it to reach temperature before using steam.

If the recipe method isn’t followed accurately and certain ingredients are added earlier than they should, the Soup Maker could cut out. Flour for example, will fall to the bottom and stick and burn to the heating plate if added too early in the recipe and or not pre-mixed prior to adding, this will then cause the thermostat to kick in and cut the machine as a safety feature. Switch the unit off at the power source and remove the lid, discard ingredients, clean your soup maker thoroughly and start again, ensuring the method is followed correctly.

Only use a non-scratch scourer when cleaning the base of your soup maker, which are available at most supermarkets.

Ensure all solid ingredients are diced into small portions to allow for the even cooking time.

The reasons can be loss of power, food cooked on wrong setting for cooking time, or glass lid not placed correctly on the Cooking Pot. Test the mains outlet with a socket known to be working. Check the cooking mode and timer settings and the recipe details. Check the Glass Lid is correctly placed and nothing is obstructing it.

1. The cooking pot was under half full - Your Slow Cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled Cooking Pot. If the Cooking Pot is only half-filled, check to see if the food is cooked 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time. 
2. Food cooked too long - Check the Mode and Timer settings and the recipe details.
3. Cooking Pot placed in Base Unit while still very hot. '- Cooking time may be shortened. Check food is cooked 30 minutes to 1 hour earlier than the stated recipe time.

Wash the Lid, Drip Tray, Steam Tray, Rice Tray, Containers, Small Pots and Dividing Wall in warm water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry. Alternatively, place in the dishwasher on cool or eco cycle. The Dividing Wall should be stored loose when not in use.

Occasionally, you may need to descaling the Water Tank. If you notice a slowing in steam production, or a lengthening of steaming times, you should descale the steaming system using a mild descaling solution and follow instructions for food steamers - Ventilate the room well. Alternatively, fill the water tank to the maximum level with boiling water. Add two sachets of descaling solution and fit the drip tray. Set the steaming time to 40 minutes for each element and press the start/pause button. Repeat as necessary, then wash the water tank and drip tray with hot soapy water and a dishcloth, rinse and dry.
