Operation
General information
∙ Note: 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 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 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 switching on the appliance for the
fi rst time, the toaster may emit a slight
smell and a little smoke, but this will
disappear after a short while. Ensure
suffi cient ventilation.
Automatic switch-off
This appliance comes with an automatic
switch-off feature. If a bread slice should
become stuck and cannot be ejected after
the toasting cycle is complete, the toaster will
automatically switch off. Should this occur,
disconnect the appliance from the mains and
remove the bread slice as described in the
10
section General information.
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
∙ Insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ After adjusting the browning control, insert
the bread into the toast slot and press the
operating lever down.
∙ Once the desired degree of browning
is reached, the toaster switches off
automatically and the slices are ejected.
∙ 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.
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.

items, push the slide control operating
lever for the warming top up to raise the
bread roll holder.

the top, adjust the browning control to a
medium setting and then push down the
