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. Th e thickness of the slices to be
toasted should not exceed 15 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.
–
Variations in bread type, humidity
content and thickness of the slices result
in diff erent degrees of browning. Th e
bread should therefore be kept in a sealed
wrapping.

Automatic switch-off
Th is appliance comes with an automatic
switch-off feature. If a bread slice becomes
stuck and cannot be ejected aft er the
