Operation
General information
- Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than
fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the
browning control to a higher setting than
for toasting white bread.
- 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 14 mm.
●
In case of problems or malfunctions
during use, and before cleaning, always
remove the plug from the wall socket.
- To remove a slice stuck in the toast slot,
use a blunt wooden implement (eg a
brush handle). Never touch the metal
heating elements.
- Variations in bread type, humidity
content and thickness of the slices result
in different degrees of browning. The
bread should therefore be kept in a
sealed wrapping.
Before using for the first time
- Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
General care and cleaning).
- Switch on the toaster without any bread
inserted and go through at least five
toasting cycles at the maximum
temperature setting.
- Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
- Note: the operating lever locks down
only when the plug is inserted.
- When switching on the appliance for the
first time, the toaster may emit a slight
smell and a little smoke, but this will
disappear after a short while. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
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 specifically
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.
- Easy lift-out: to facilitate lifting the bread
slices out, push the operating lever up.
- To achieve regular browning when
toasting several slices in succession, allow
the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90
seconds after each cycle.
