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 144 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
∙ 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.
∙ To achieve regular browning when
toasting several slices in succession,
allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90
seconds after each cycle.
∙ Do not cover the toast slot during
operation.
Defrost function
The defrost function may be used in addition
to the normal action when toasting deep-
frozen bread. This will extend the toasting
process. This function is shown by the
indicator lamp.
Warm-up function
The warm-up function is suitable for
re-heating bread which has already been
toasted. Caution: do not warm up buttered
bread.
After activating the toasting function, the
warm-up function can be used in addition.
This function is shown by the indicator lamp.
Interrupting the toasting cycle
If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle,
press the eject button. The toaster will switch
off and the slices are ejected.
