5.1 Before using the appliance the first time
1. Remove all packaging materials and any transport safety devices.
2. Confirm that all accessories mentioned have been supplied.
3. Clean the toaster with a damp cloth.
4. Confirm that all components are properly assembled and the appliance is placed firmly.
5. Make sure that there is enough space between the toaster and the wall or other appliances,
as the toaster will become hot during operation.
6. Connect the appliance to the mains supply by means of the lead cable (120V,60 Hz).
7. Before using the toaster for the first time, you will have to perform a toasting process without
bread. Press the toast lever down until it latches into place.
8. When the toasting is finished, the toast lever automatically jumps up. You may now start
toasting bread.
5.2 Operation - Toasting
1. Prepare the toaster as described in chapter “Before first use”.
2. Put the slices of bread into the slots of toast chamber.
3. Select the desired toasting grade using the roasting grade selector. The adjustment is
continuous, corresponding level 1 to light toasting and level 6 to dark toasting. The toast will

13
be golden brown when you adjust the selector to toasting level 3 to a medium toasting
grade.
4. Push the toast lever down until it latches into place. The indicator light for “Cancel” lights up
and the toasting process starts.
5. You can interrupt the toasting process at any time pushing the button “Cancel”.
6. When the selected toasting grade is achieved, the bread is ejected automatically and the
indicator lamps go out. The appliance shuts off automatically.
5.3 Operation - Bagel Toasting
The Bagel function can be used to toast bread with one side. The inner side will be browned.
1. Place the bread slices in the slot of the toasting chamber.
2. Select the desired toasting grade using the roasting grade selector. The adjustment is
continuous, corresponding level 1 to light toasting and level 6 to dark toasting. The toast will
be golden brown when you adjust the selector to toasting level 3.
3. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. The indicator light for “Cancel” lights up
and the toasting process starts.
4. Then press the button “Bagel” right away. The indicator lamp on this button lights up.
5. The bread is toasting one side only.
6. You can interrupt the Bagel cycle any time by pressing the “Cancel” button.
7. After completion of the bagel cycle the bread is automatically ejected and the indicator
lamps go out. The appliance shuts off automatically.
5.4 Operation - Thawing
The thawing function first thaws out the bread and then toasts it, which means that the thawing
cycle lasts somewhat longer than the normal toasting cycle.
1. Place the bread slices in the slots of the toasting chamber.
2. Select the desired toast darkness setting. We recommend the following toast darkness
settings:
1 or 2 for bread from the refrigerator or thin frozen bread slices.
3 or 4 for frozen waffles
5 or 6 for thicker frozen bread slices and thick toast slices.
3. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. The indicator light for “Cancel”lights up

7. After completion of the thawing cycle the bread is automatically ejected and the indicator
lamps go out. The appliance shuts off automatically.

14
5.5 Tips for ideal toasting results
1. Different types of bread have varying moisture content. Therefore, the same toast darkness
setting can produce different results.
2. For bread that is slightly dry, use a lower toast darkness setting.
3. For fresh bread or whole grain bread, use a higher toast darkness setting.
4. Bread with an irregular surface requires a higher toast darkness setting.
5. Thick bread slices need more time for toasting; it may even be necessary to toast the bread
a second time.
6. Cut rolls in half before toasting.
7. If you toast only one slice, please select a low toast darkness setting.
8. If you toast several slices one after the other, the bread will be somewhat darker at the
same toast darkness setting.
9. To toast frozen bread, waffles, etc. please use the thaw button.
10. To warm rolls, please use the bun warmer.
