Operation
General information
∙ Attention: The operating lever locks
down only when the plug is inserted.
∙ Do not use slices which are too thick or
too big, as they may become stuck in the
toaster. The thickness of the slices to be
toasted should not exceed 15 mm.
∙ In case of problems or malfunctions
during use, and before cleaning,
always remove the plug from the wall
socket.
∙ To remove a slice caught in the slot, use
a blunt wooden implement (e.g. a brush
handle). Never touch the metal heating
elements.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
General care and cleaning).
∙ Switch on the toaster without any
bread inserted and go through at least
fi ve toasting cycles at the maximum
temperature setting.
∙ Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
∙ When switched on for the fi rst time, the
toaster may emit a slight smell and a
little smoke. For that reason, adequate
ventilation should be ensured by opening
windows or balcony doors.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning can be
varied by turning the adjustable browning
control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
In the case of sliced bread specifi cally
intended for toasting, we recommend a
browning control setting of 3 to 4.
Operation
∙ Insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ After adjusting the browning control, insert
the bread into the toast slot and press the
operating lever down. The indicator lamp
will go on.
∙ Once the desired degree of browning
is reached, the toaster switches off
automatically; the slices are ejected, and
can be removed once the indicator lamp
goes off.
