▪ Do not cover the toasting slots during the toasting process. Do not
place any bread slices or bread rolls onto the housing, as this may
cause the appliance to overheat.

after use.
▪ Never immerse the toaster in water.
▪ In the case of misuse, wrong handling or incorrect repair no

▪ If the power cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer's authorised service agent or a qualified

the user.
Start-up
The section of the power cable not in use can be wound up and stored
on the base of the appliance. Connect the power plug to a shockproof
socket.
Prior to first use, carry out at least three toasting cycles without
bread and at maximum power, to remove the surface protection
on the heating elements. The smell released during this process
is harmless, but you should ensure good ventilation nevertheless.
Always allow the appliance to cool down a little before switching
it on.
Insert the toast slices into the toasting slots. To avoid slices becoming
jammed, they should not be thicker than 23 mm. Insert small slices
upright and next to each other in a toasting slot; this will make it
easier to remove them after toasting.
To begin with set the control knob for the browning degree to medium
level. Push down the bread carriage lever. The appliance switches on
and the bread carriage is held down until the appliance switches off
automatically after the toasting time has elapsed. The toasted bread
then pops out of the toasting slot ready for removal.
Removing the toasted bread
You can raise the bread carriage higher to have better access to the
toasted bread. To do so, push the bread carriage lever upwards.
Notes on the browning level
If the toast is too light in colour, select a higher browning level. If it is
too dark, set the control knob to a lower level. The figures 1 to 7 serve
only for orientation purposes. The higher the setting, the darker the
browning level.
The toasting result may vary at the same setting depending on the
type, size, moisture and thickness of the bread slices. Therefore, select
