Connect the appliance only to a shockproof socket that has
been installed according to regulations. The power cable
and power plug must be dry.
Never activate the appliance with an external timer or
remote control.
Never leave the toaster to run unattended.
Do not pull the power cable over sharp edges, pinch it or let
it hang down. Protect from heat and oil.

This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (inclu-
ding children) with limited physical, sensory or intellectual
faculties or who lack experience and/or knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or have received instructions on how to use the appliance.
Please make sure that children do not have an opportunity
to play with the appliance.
If the following happens do not use the appliance and
unplug it immediately:
· the appliance or power cable are damaged
· a defect is suspected after a fall or similar occurrence
In these cases, have the appliance repaired.
When inserting the toast, make sure that the bread slices
do not get jammed. Should this happen, pull out the power
plug first and then eliminate the fault.
Important: Bread can catch fire in toasters. For this reason,
do not use the appliance in the vicinity of or beneath com-
bustible objects (for example curtains, wall cabinets) and do
not leave unattended.
· Caution: Risk of burning! The accessible surfaces of the
appliance can become very hot.
· Do not reach into the toasting slots with your fingers or
with objects such as forks, knives or similar.
· Only use the toaster in an upright position and standing
free.
· Do not cover the toasting slots during the toasting process.
Do not place any bread slices or bread rolls onto the hou-
sing, as this may cause the appliance to overheat.
· Pull the power plug:
· if faults arise during operation
· each time before cleaning and servicing
after use.
· Never immerse the toaster in water.
· In the case of misuse, wrong handling or incorrect repair,
no liability will be taken for possible damages. Guarantee
services are also excluded in such cases.
· The appliance is not intended for commercial use.
· If the cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer's authorised service agent
or a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs may result in
considerable hazards for the user.
Start-up
· The section of the power cable not in use can be wound up
and stored on the base of the appliance. Connect the power
plug to a shockproof socket.
· Prior to using the appliance for the first time, carry out at
least three toasting cycles without bread and at maximum
power in order to remove the surface protection on the
heating elements. The smell released during this process is
harmless, but you should ensure good ventilation neverthe-
less. Always allow the appliance to cool down a little before
switching it on.
· Insert the toast slices into the toasting slots. To avoid slices
becoming jammed, they should not be thicker than 22 mm.
Insert small slices upright and side by side in one toasting
slot; this will make it easier to remove them after toasting.
· Set the slide control for the browning degree to level 3.
Press the loading handle down. The appliance will switch
on and the bread will be held down until the toaster stops
toasting automatically after the toasting cycle time has
elapsed. The finished toast will pop up out of the toasting
slot for removal.
