A. Toasting bread
1Insert one or two slices of bread
(fig. 3).
5Remove the toast. For easier
removal, raise the lever a little
more and keep it raised until the
toast has been removed (EXTRA
LIFT function) (fig. 7).
• If bread becomes stuck inside the

remove the toast without using
metal objects. Be careful not to
burn yourself on the metal parts.
• To turn off the Toaster before
toasting has finished push the
CANCEL button or raise the lift
mechanism lever.
Advice on toasting
This Toaster will toast all kinds of sliced
bread normally sold in shops. The slice
must not be more than 3 cm thick.
If you want to toast two slices of bread
at the same time, use the same kind
of bread to obtain the same degree of
toasting. Remember that different kinds
of bread need different toasting times.
Very moist bread takes longer to toast
than dry bread. Of course, toasting
time is a matter of personal taste: if you
prefer lightly toasted bread, set a short
toasting time; for well-toasted bread, set
a longer time. The levels on the toasting
selector let you obtain the degree of
toasting you want.
B. Toasting frozen bread
1Insert one or two slices of frozen
bread.
2Set the selector for the desired
degree of toasting.
3Lower the lift mechanism lever to
turn on the Toaster: the CANCEL
button will light up.
4Push the DEFROST button :
the light will turn on (fig. 8).
2Set the selector for the desired
degree of toasting.
Set it toward the bottom for
shorter toasting time; toward the
top for longer toasting time (fig. 4)
(see “Advice on toasting”).
3Lower the lift mechanism lever to
turn on the Toaster: the CANCEL
button will light up (fig. 5). If the
lever doesn’t stay down, check that
the plug is inserted in the outlet.
4When toasting finishes, the lift
mechanism lever rises automatically
and the CANCEL button light turns
off (fig. 6).
