BEFORE FIRST USE
n Remove all packaging and other accessories inside as well as outside the appliance.
n Unwind the cord from under the toaster (Fig. 1).
n Plug the toaster into the wall socket.
n Turn the dial to the maximum browning setting without inserting any bread, then press the lever
down. Repeat the toasting sequence twice to remove the "new" smell.
USING THE TOASTER
n Insert the slices of bread (Fig. 2).
Do not use slices which are too large or too thick, as they must not be allowed to stick in the
toasting well.
n Select the desired toasting setting (Fig. 3).
n Choose between 6 different degrees of browning by setting the selector to the appropriate position:
Position 1 = lightly toasted
Position 6 = very well toasted
n When first using, try out the toasting setting, as the result depends upon the type of bread and the
degree of moisture.
Generally speaking, a higher temperature is required for breads other than white. Turn the toasting
grade selector to a lower number if, for example, only one slice of bread is being toasted.
Caution:
Relatively dry slices of bread, or bread that has already been toasted once, will brown much
more quickly and may under certain circumstances catch fire. Therefore set the heat control
to a lower setting and do not leave the toaster unattended.
n Fully depress the lowering lever, which will then lock into position (Fig. 4).
The appliance will begin to operate and the STOP button will illuminate. The handle will only lock if
the toaster is plugged in.
n After completion of the toasting operation, the toast will automatically be raised and the appliance
will switch itself off (Fig. 5).
n Remove the bread. To make it easier to remove the bread you can lift the lowering lever as far as it
will go.
n To stop the toaster when toasting is underway, press the "stop" button (Fig. 6).
Note:
Should a slice of bread become trapped in the toasting well, unplug the power cord, let the
appliance cool down and then carefully free the toast without touching the heating elements.
