Contents

Before getting started, ensure the package contains the following components:

Intended Use

The appliance is designed for toasting bread. Only use the appliance for its intended use as described in this instruction manual. Any other use or improper use can cause hazards. No liability will be accepted for damages resulting from improper use.

Before First Use

• Have the appliance run one full cycle at time control dial 6 without any food in it (See Operation).
• Repeat at time control dial 4, and let it complete 2 or 3 cycles, still without any food.
• Do this until no odor or smoke can be detected. Ensure ample ventilation.

Note: Manufacturing residues may cause the appliance to emit a slight burning odor when first switched on. This is normal and does not indicate any defect or hazard.

Operation

Quick start

1. Place the appliance on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface.
2. Unwind the power cord from the cord storage located at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Insert 2 slices of bread (or 2 bagels) into the bread slots (1 each). Do not force the bread or bagel into the slots.
4. Connect the power plug to a wall outlet.
5. Adjust the time control dial to the desired setting (see Fig. 1).
6. Pull the lever down till it locks into position. The red indicator on the CANCEL button lights up.
7. When the time is over the lever will spring up and the toaster will automatically power off.
8. To interrupt the process at any time, press the CANCEL button. The red indicator on the CANCEL button goes off.

Programs

Further customize the toasting by selecting/unselecting combinations of the buttons on the control panel:

Control panel

Normal Toast	Frozen*	Bagel*	Frozen Bagel*
all heating plates are on	all heating plates are on	only middle heating plates are on	only middle heating plates are on
Normal toasting.	Select to defrost slices of bread.	Select to toast slices of bagels. Tip: Cut the bagel in 2 halves and insert them with the crust facing outward.	Select to defrost bagels.

*Note: this program is only available for selection up to approx. 16 seconds into the toasting process. After the first 16 seconds, any programming is no longer possible. In this case, to select one of these programs, it is necessary to cancel the ongoing process, start a new one (by pulling the lever down) and only then select the desired program.

Time Control Dial and Browning Level

Note: For sliced bread specifically intended for toasting, we recommend setting the time control dial to 4.
Note: The thickness of the slice will directly affect the baking time, and the browning.
Note: Baking irregularly-shaped bread will cause uneven toast (standard size should be 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inch).

Tips:

• Use a ower setting when toast ng a sing e bread slice or slightly dry bread.
• Use a higher setting when toasting fresh or whole wheat bread.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
• Cut bread into standard size (3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inch) to avoid uneven toast.

Removing Toast

Bread slices and parts of the appliance get very hot and stay hot for some time after operation.

• Do not use conductive tools, such as a fork, to remove toast from the appliance as this may damage the heating elements.

Removing Lodged Toast

• If toast is lodged inside the appliance, lift the lever to raise the toast: If toast is still lodged inside press the CANCEL button and disconnect the power plug from wall outlet.
• Wait until the appliance has cooled completely.
• Remove toast carefully and take care not to damage the heating elements.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled completely.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
• The body of the appliance may be wiped with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Crumb Tray

• Crumbs and baking residues are collected in the crumb tray.
• Pull out the tray and empty it regularly. Make sure to put the crumb tray back in place before using the toaster again to avoid food falling down.

Storage

• Unplug the appliance and allow to cool completely before storage.
• Wind the power cord around the cord storage located underneath the appliance.
• Store the appliance in a cool and dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
