Putting into operation
You can store the connection cord
not needed at the bottom of the
appliance. Put the cable into a suit-
able mains supply.
Before first use 3 operations with-
out bread are necessary under
maximum setting in order to remo-
ve the surface protection of the
heating elements. The smell which
occurs is harmless, never-theless
good ventilation of the air is
necessary. Let the appliance cool
down before switching it on again.
Put the control knob for browning con-
trol on middle setting first. Place the
slices of bread into the slots. The sli-
ces must not not be thicker than 25 mm
so that they will not be jammed. Put
the lever in the down position. The
appliance heats and the slices of toast
are automatically ejected as soon as
the toasting cycle is completed. Du-
ring toasting the STOP button lights.
Should the bread be too lightly

is too dark, lower the setting. The
numbers 1 to 5 only serve for your
guidance. The higher the setting, the
darker the color of the toast. The toa-
sting result will vary at the same set-

size and moisture content and the
thickness of the slices. Therefore
choose a lower setting for dry bread,
small slices and when toasting only
one slice. When toasting only one
slice of bread the browning on the
