Fig. 14
3 Lower the lift mechanism lever to
turn on the Toaster. The CANCEL
button will light up.
4 When the sandwich is ready, the
lever will automatically rise and
the Toaster will turn off.
5 Remove the rack using the handles;
place it on a cutting board or plate
and slide out the sandwich.
• The metal wires of the sandwich
rack are very hot when grilling has
finished: hold the rack only by its
plastic handles.
• To clean the rack, wait until it has
cooled, then open it completely to
remove crumbs and bits of melted
cheese.
Wash it with hot water and dish
soap, then dry thoroughly. You can
wash the rack in the dishwasher;
at the end of the wash cycle, dry it
with a soft towel.
Troubleshooting
Problem: the lift mechanism lever
does not stay down.
Solution: check that the plug is
correctly inserted in the outlet. If the
problem persists, call an authorised
service centre.
Problem: bread is stuck inside the
Toaster.
Solution: remove the plug from
the outlet, raise the lift mechanism
lever, and remove the bread. NEVER
use metal objects to remove bread.
NEVER open the Toaster.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Problem: the lift mechanism lever does
not stay in the EXTRA LIFT position.
Solution: the lift mechanism lever does
not lock in the EXTRA LIFT position:
you have to keep it in this position
until you have removed the toast.
