Functions:

Russell Hobbs 18513 Heritage Floral Compact Toaster offers functions that are competitive. Like most other model it gives the toasting function and the highlight here is the possibility of toasting the frozen bread. In this case when the programme for the frozen bread is been selected it will automatically calculate the toasting time as at first it defrosts the bread before going in for the toasting programme.

The re-heat function is also available and in this case it is not required for the bread to go thought the full toasting process. The reheating means functioning with the low heat settings and it refreshes the toasted bread as freshly toasted one. Caution to be applied here as only the plain bread is eligible for this function.
