Bosch TAT 6104 (toaster): information, specifications, reviews

In our kitchen, new devices are constantly appearing. A toaster is one of them. It is intended for the quick preparation of toasts and hot sandwiches. The brand Bosch has long been known among buyers of kitchen appliances. What is different from other models of this series Bosch TAT 6104 (toaster)?

Toaster Features

Among the advantages of the model, many users call the design and color of the case. At first glance, it does not resemble any of the known devices. And only the inspection of the upper part gives an opportunity to understand what it is and what it is intended for. If most toasters look more like suitcases, then this model reminds of an elegant handbag.

By color, you can find a toaster Bosch TAT 6104 red or silver. Of course, this can not be a buying criterion, but sometimes it is the color that is decisive when choosing from several similar products.

The power of the toaster is 900W. To accommodate pieces of bread, it has two compartments of length 13.5 cm and a width of 3 cm. Each of them has one toast. They are automatically centered inside the compartment.

Bread is fried in six modes. Loose bread is roasted until a golden crust is formed in mode 3, and a long loaf is in mode 5. In addition, there are defrosting modes for those who store bread for toasting in the refrigerator and heating.

Bosch TAT 6104, a toaster, (see photo in the review) is connected to the network using a cord, the length of which is 1 m 10 cm. Some users would like it to roll off after work, getting inside the device, like representatives of many brands. But this function does not have a toaster of this brand. But there is a storage compartment for the cord. To place it there, you need to pre-wind it manually.

The weight of the toaster is one and half kilograms. The height without a lattice is 20 cm.

Manufactured by Bosch TAT 6104 (toaster) in China. The warranty period is indicated in the check for the goods. Usually this is 12 months.

Toaster casing

The body of the toaster is plastic. A significant part of it is glossy, but there are also rough surfaces. Judging by customer feedback, the surface of the toaster is easily laundered with conventional detergents. Even after several years of using the toaster looks like new. No signs of wear on it can be seen. Sometimes fingerprints remain, but they are easily erased.

The device is mounted on a table or other plane using rubberized legs. They do not allow him to move around the surface during work. To collect the crumbs that formed during the preparation, there is a special removable tray. After cooking it is removed, shaken and installed back. Some buyers do not take out the pallet, but simply turn the toaster and shake the crumbs out of it. In the kit there is a grate for heating buns.

Inside the housing there is a layer of insulation, so it usually does not overheat. But not all parts have thermal insulation. The upper part of the appliance heats up very much during operation. Especially if you cook toasts at an average power three times or more. Therefore, you need to handle it carefully, not allowing young children to work. The toaster is for home use only. If cook more often, it can quickly burn.

Managing the Toaster

The instrument is controlled mechanically, by means of the lever on the side and the "Stop" button. The indication lamp is indicating that the toaster is in the operating mode. It lights up after the bread is set in the compartment, and the lever sends it to the heating elements, and shines in red.

If the toaster is overheated during operation, it automatically turns off. The indication lamp goes out.

When preparing one toast, instead of two, include a regime that is several points smaller than for cooking two pieces of bread.

To prepare frozen bread, press the power button and the one on which the snowflake is depicted.

First use of the toaster

How to use the Bosch TAT 6104 (toaster) correctly? The instruction recommends opening the window before the first cooking, turning the toaster on to the highest temperature sixth mode. Bread is not installed at this time. Heat four or more times. All the lubricant, which was on the metal parts of the device, burns out, and the smoke goes out the window. They let it cool down. Wipe with a damp sponge. Now he's ready to go.

Sometimes, if crumbs of bread fall on the heating element, you can hear the smell of burnt bread. Use a toaster without a crumb tray.

Grilling heating

In order to cook delicious hot sandwiches, fry toast large size, which do not fit in the compartment, make buns warm or warm stale bread, set the products on a special nozzle. But you can place at the same time no more than two rolls or sandwiches. In this case, the nozzle handles should be open. Some users complain that when warming up for ten minutes, buns are slightly warm.

But other buyers say that they even heated meatballs with a toaster, and they were satisfied with the result.

On the grate of the toaster, you can prepare hot sandwiches. Of course, for their preparation use a microwave. But with such sandwiches the bread will be soft, not crunchy.

Sometimes users want to cover them with foil. Do this prohibits the instruction. In addition, you can not simultaneously warm up buns and toast toasts.

Shutdown before the deadline

If you need to turn off the toaster before the specified time, press the "Stop" button. Slide the switch lever up. Carefully take out a piece of bread, which a little rose up.

Sometimes the toaster turns itself off. This happens if the piece is stuck in the bread compartment. You need to remove the plug from the mains, wait for the appliance to cool down a bit, and then gently pull out the toast.

Customer Reviews

Customer feedback is unanimous in assessing the design of the device. Bosch TAT 6104, a toaster, has a rich red color, which boosts the mood in the morning, when everyone usually starts using it. Mark a convenient form.

Like the fact that the toaster uses a small amount of electricity. But many customers consider the functions of defrosting and heating to be completely superfluous and do not use them.

I like the simplicity of using a toaster. Virtually all the processes in it occur automatically. It is enough to lay the pieces of bread, set the cooking mode and press the lever on the side. Consumers say that it goes down and rises easily and smoothly. Ready toast is easy to remove. After cooking, he himself rises a little from the compartment. At the same time, the sound of the toaster, indicating that the toast is ready, is well audible, but not strong, not frightening.

Consumers say that the best result is achieved by frying large pieces of bread.

Each user has his favorite mode of cooking toasts. Many people like the result in the range from 3 to 5. At the highest temperature (mode 6), the crumbs burn strongly. At the minimum, the result of browning is almost not noticeable.

There are comments to how the Bosch TAT 6104 (toaster) is assembled. Customer feedback indicates that the mode switch knob is loose. This does not directly affect the result of the work, but it strains a little.

Noting the beautiful design, users believe that the price of a toaster (2,5 thousand rubles.) Is overestimated, because some modes and functions do not cope with the tasks. Others argue that the price of a toaster is low compared to models of other famous brands. From which we can conclude that the price of the toaster actually corresponds to its quality.

Toaster repair

Sometimes it happens that the toaster breaks, and it needs to be repaired. If the warranty period for it has expired, you can refer the device to the workshop or try to repair it yourself.

In this case, the question arises as to how to disassemble the Bosch TAT 6104 toaster. Unscrew the four screws located below the asterisk. Use a flat screwdriver to lift the brackets and lift the bottom cover. Then repeat the operation, removing all four fasteners under the heating chamber.

To raise the bottom cover, you need to remove the wires and the board, fixed on the lid. Squeeze the plastic guides, take out the board. Pull out the power cord, open the lid. Plastic clamps are usually quite fragile, so you need to handle them carefully, so as not to break.
