Have just purchased a new toaster from Next, 4 slice.
Set the controls to setting 5 (out of 6, 6 being the darkest), and put both sides of the toaster (2 slots on left side, 2 slots on right side) to "on" but without any bread inside the toaster (as per instruction book with stated that this needs to be done to get rid of the burning odour smell that new toasters initially make).
The toaster went through its full cycle for both sides (i.e. the heating elements came on, were on for about 2-3 mins each and then the slot mechanism popped back up).
I then tried to do the same thing immediately again (i.e. put both sides of the toaster to "on", again without any bread, and again on setting 5), the main fuse box seems to have tripped (see pictures below - red circled switch on first image is set to down (green?)).
A couple of queries:-
1. Is it ok to put the switch on the main fuse box (that seems to have tripped) back up, or is there anything that I need to do/check first?
2. Is the toaster itself dodgy; or has the fuse tripped because the toaster has cut itself out, presumably caused by me trying to make the toaster go through another cycle immediately after it had finished the previous cycle, and with both these cycles having no bread in the toaster (whereas in "normal" operating circumstances (i.e. with bread actually in the toaster) the toasting mechanism is unlikely to ever overheat)?
