BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove all packaging and other accessories inside as well as outside of the appliance.
• Unwind the cord from under the toaster (Fig. 1).
  
• Plug the toaster into the wall socket.
• 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 UNIT

• Insert the slices of bread (Fig. 2). Do not use slices which are too large or too thick as that can block the toasting mechanism.
  
• Select the desired toasting setting (Fig. 3).
  
• For best toasting results, always toast two slice of bread.
• Choose between 7 different degrees of browning by setting the selector to the appropriate position:
  Position 1 = lightly toasted
  Position 7 = very well toasted
• When using with a new bread, you may have to experiment to find your preferred toasting setting, as the toasting result depends upon the type of bread and the degree of moisture. Therefore, if you have a brand new loaf a higher setting will be needed than when the same loaf looses freshness.
  Generally, a higher browning setting is required for darker breads than white breads.
  When toasting only 1 slice of bread, lower the browning setting for best result.

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.

• Fully push down the toasting lever, which will then lock into position (Fig. 4).
  
  The appliance will begin to operate and the STOP(CANCEL) button will illuminate. The toasting lever will only lock if the toaster is plugged in.
• After toasting cylce is complete, the toast will automatically be raised.
  
• To make it easier to remove the bread you can lift the toaster lever up.
• To stop the toasting cycle, press the STOP(CANCEL) 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.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

DEFROST function

• The toaster has a pre-programmed defrosting feature. Toasting frozen bread takes longer than toasting bread which is not frozen.
• Insert one or two frozen slices of bread or toast in the toaster (Fig. 7).
  
• Select the desired toasting level and lower the toast lever.
• Press the DEFROST button (Fig. 7).

REHEAT feature

• The toaster has a pre-programmed feature to reheat pieces of bread or toast without toasting them too much.
• The reheating time is automatic, regardless of the position of the setting button (roughly 30 seconds).
• Insert the pieces of bread or toast in the toaster and lower the handle.
• Press the REHEAT button (Fig. 8).
  

CLEANING

• Before pulling out the crumb tray, allow the toaster to cool for at least ten minutes after completion of the preceding toasting operation.
• Unplug the toaster before cleaning.
• Remove the crumb tray by pulling it out. Clean the toaster regularly (Fig. 9).
  
• Never immerse the appliance in water or put it under running water.
• Never use an abrasive sponge to clean the toaster. Clean it with a damp cloth and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Wipe using a damp cloth then return the crumb tray to its place.
