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. They can get stuck in the toaster.
The thickness of the slices for toasting
should not exceed 15 mm.
●
In case of problems or malfunctions and
before cleaning, always remove the plug
from the wall socket
- To remove a slice caught in the slot, use a
blunt wooden stick (eg a brush handle).
Never touch the metal heating elements.
- Variations in bread type, humidity
content and thickness of the slices result
in different degrees of browning. The
bread should therefore be kept in a
sealed wrapping.
Before using for the first time
Clean the toaster thoroughly (see General
Care and Cleaning).
Switch on the toaster without any bread
inserted and go through at least five toasting
cycles at the maximum temperature setting.
Allow the toaster to cool down between the
toasting cycles.
Please note: the main lever locks down only
when the plug is inserted.
When switching on the appliance for the first
time, the toaster may emit a slight smell (and
possibly a little smoke), which will disappear
after a short while.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning is infinitely
adjustable by turning the browning control
knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
Operation
- After adjusting the degree of browning,
insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down.
- Once the desired degree of browning is
reached, the toaster will switch off
automatically and the slices are ejected
and can be removed.
- 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.
Warming up buns, rolls etc
- To warm up buns, rolls or other bakery
items, push the slide control towards the
toast slot to raise the bread roll holder.
- Place the items to be warmed up on the
holder, adjust the browning control to a
medium setting and then push down the
operating lever to switch on the toaster.
- Once the browning cycle is complete and
the appliance has automatically switched
off, turn the roll or bread over and repeat
the cycle.
- After use, return the bread roo holder to
the rest position by pushing the slide
control back.
●
Do not place the items directly on the
toast slot.
Interrupting the toasting cycle
If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle,
push the operating lever upwards.
Power cord storage

operation and make sure it is kept well away
