USE OF THE COMMANDS
• Make sure that the On/extra lift lever (B) is
raised and the browning control dial (D) is set
for a medium toasting level.
• Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.
In order to eliminate the "new" smell at the
first use, operate the appliance without any
food inside for at least 5 minutes. Aerate the
room during this operation.
• Insert the slices of bread into the Bread toa-
sting slots (A) and lower the On/extra lift
lever (B) until it is all the way down.
The ON light (J) remains lit, indicating that
the toaster is operating, until the On/extra lift
lever (B) returns to the raised position.
Note: If the appliance is not connected to the
electrical outlet, the On/extra lift lever (B) will
not stay down.
• When the toasting is finished, the On/extra
lift lever (B) returns to the raised position, rai-
sing the toasted bread slices at the same time.
• If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a
darker degree of toasting by turning the
Browning control dial (D).
• The toasting can be interrupted at any
moment simply by pressing the Cancel button
(I).
Caution: the bread toasting slots become
very hot during operation. Do not touch.
Defrost Function
Frozen slices of bread and waffles may be toast-
ed by pressing the Defrost button (F) immediate-
ly after lowering the On/extra lift lever (B); the
toasting cycle will be lengthened in order to
achieve the desired
browning. The defrost indicator light will remain
lit while the defrost function is in use.
Reheat Function
Press down the On/extra lift lever (B) and press
the Reheat button (G). The reheat indicator light
will remain lit while the reheat function is in use.
Please note that this is a fixed reheat time which
cannot be adjusted by the Browning control dial.
Bagel Function
The Bagel function allows you to have perfectly
toasted bagels, with the cut sides toasted and the
bottoms warmed. To toast bagels, first slice in
half, then place the cut halves into each slot with
cut sides facing outwards from the middle of
each pair of slots. Press down the On/extra lift
lever (B) and press the Bagel button (H); only the
outer resistance coils of the toaster will operate.
The bagel indicator light will remain lit while the
Bagel function is in use.
SUGGESTIONS
• Never use the appliance when it is empty
(when there is no bread inside).
• Do not use very thin or broken slices of
bread.
• Do not insert other foods that may drip
during the cooking process. In addition to
making the cleaning procedure more difficult,
it may create a fire hazard. It is also very
important to clean the crumb collection tray
of any drippings before each use.
• Do not insert (by force) foods that are too
large for the slots.
• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the
toaster in order to remove bread, for this may
damage the resistance coils of the appliance.
Remove the plug from the outlet and allow the
toaster to cool. Turn the appliance over, gen-
tly shaking it to remove the lodged item.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Any cleaning and/or maintenance operation
must be done after having removed the plug
from the electrical outlet.
• Let the appliance cool down before procee-
ding with its cleaning.
• The external part of the appliance must be
cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasi-
ve detergents that can ruin the surface.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
• After each use, remove the plug from the
electrical outlet and empty the crumb collec-
tion tray that is under the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER
WITH SHARP UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE
BREAD TOASTING SLOTS.
