between cycles.
- Note: the operating lever locks down
only when the plug is inserted.

first time, the toaster may emit a slight
smell and a little smoke, but this will
disappear after a short while. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.

- Once the pre-set degree of browning has
been reached, the appliance will switch
off automatically and the indicator light
will go out.

sandwich.
- To achieve regular browning when
toasting several sandwiches in succession,
allow the appliance to cool down for 60 -
90 seconds after each cycle.

The toasting time may be shortened as a
result of fluctuations in the power supply.

operation.
Practical hints
Practical hints for best results when toasting
sandwiches:
- A sandwich should consist of two slices
of sandwich bread with a filling in
between.
- All types of filling should be sliced (eg
cooked ham), as there is a danger of food
falling down into the interior if other
kinds of filling, such as tuna fish, are used.
- All common types of sandwich bread can
be used.
- White bread should preferably be one
day old when it is used for sandwiches.
- The slices for the filling (cheese, ham etc)
