00457 GENUINE DUALIT 2 3 4 SLOT / SLICE TOASTER MIDDLE / CENTRE HEATING ELEMENTS

Description: ITEM DESCRIPTION GENUINE DUALIT TOASTER HEATING ELEMENT 3 SLOT CENTRE - 240 VOLTS This fixed price listing is for 1 x 00457 3 SLOT CENTRE element as shown. (see below for more useful information) These are the new style Pro Heat elements with the mica coating and will replace all old style elements with the exposed wires. Pro Heat elements are bonded with a heat resistant protective Mica coating, this coating must be left in place, do not try to peel it off. Because mica is a natural mineral it is not unusual for elements to have some brown blemishes or slight flaking on the mica coating, this is not a fault with the elements and does not effect the correct operation. Upon the first few uses with new elements they may glow slightly red, make a crackling noise and give off a slight smell, it is advisable to let the elements heat for a while so they settle in before using them with any products in the toaster. Approximate dimensions 140mm x 170mm. Pro Heat elements replace all old style elements from the past 40 years (exposed wire type) with the exception of what Dualit called Black Heat elements, the Black Heat elements are easily identified as having a rough black stone type finish, these were used for a short period many years ago and are now quite rare, if you have Black Heat elements then there are no modern day replacements. Dualit Pro Heat elements fit the Classic, Vario and Newgen range of toasters, if you have one the new LITE model toasters (Dualit's budget range) spare parts are not available as these are classed as a none-servicable appliance. The Pro Heat elements are slightly longer than the old style elements, the retaining bar that holds the element in place sits under the old style element but in the new style it sits in the V-shaped groove, see picture below to compare the two elements. PLEASE NOTE: that electric heating elements are not supplied with any warranty, if your original element has blown you may have an underlying problem that has led to the eventual failure of the element, if the original cause of the failure is not rectified then you risk blowing the new element. For this reason heating elements cannot be supplied with any warranty. Parts should always be diagnosed, installed and tested by a suitably qualified and trained person. If you require any other spare parts or accessories for your appliance visit the Dualit section of our ebay shop. If you require a full set of elements then these can be found in our ebay shop. The centre elements and end elements are different wattages across the range of toasters, this is because the end element only has to toast one side of the bread, the centre elements have to toast two sides, when installing the elements it does not matter which way they face, just make sure that the ends are at the end and centres in the centre. Genuine Dualit pro Heat elements are stamped on the metal rim to indicate which is the end and which is the centre element. It is important to get the correct part number for your model of toaster, a 6 slot centre element is not the same wattage as a 2 slot centre element. It is also important to make sure you don't just count the slots in your toaster, the BUN toasters have a different element set than the BREAD toasters. This guide may help you identify the correct element part number for your model. The following guide is information taken from Dualit's own website explaining the process of replacing the elements on a common model toaster, it is our company policy to advise that any repairs and testing should be carried out by a suitably qualified person. Parts should always be diagnosed, installed and tested by a suitably qualified and trained person. NEED YOUR SPARE PARTS QUICKLY?
