Preparation
1 Remove all packaging and sticker materials
and dispose of them according to the applica-
ble local regulations.
2 Before using the appliance for the first time,
clean the appliance (See the “Cleaning and
care” section).
3 Make sure that the appliance is in an upright
position and on a stable, flat, clean, dry and
nonslip surface.
Note
7 When using the appliance for the first time,
smoke can develop due to production resi-
dues. However, this does not mean the appli-
ance is defective. The first time you switch it
on use the appliance as you normally would
but without bread. It is recommended to use
the medium setting of the browning control D
to burn in. Ensure for proper room ventilation.
Toasting
1 Connect the power plug into the wall socket.
2 Insert only one slice of bread in each of the
two bread slots A.
3 Using the browning control D select the de-
sired degree of browning between 1 and 7.
Notes
7 Turning the browning control D to 1 will give
the lightest degree of browning and turning
it to 7 the darkest. The browning degree can
vary depending on the type of bread.
7 When toasting several slices of bread con-
secutively, the toaster will become hotter and
therefore the bread will gradually become
darker. Therefore select an appropriate
browning degree. Let the toaster cool down
after each toasting process for minimum 30
seconds.
7 The degree of browning of one slice is darker
than two slices, although the browning
control D is set to the same level.
4 Press the start lever B down until it automati-
cally snaps into place.
– The toasting process begins. The indicator
light of the stop button F illuminates during
the toasting process.
Notes
7 If the power plug is not connected into the
wall socket, the start lever B does not snap
into place.
7 The degree of browning can also be adjusted
during the toasting process with the browning
control D.
5 The appliance automatically switches off as
soon as the set degree of browning has been
reached.
– The start lever B springs back up and the
stop button F light goes off. The toast slices
are pushed upwards and can be taken out
of the toaster.
Notes
7 To cancel the toasting process before it has
finished, press the stop button F. The start
lever B springs back up and the toast slices
can be taken out of the toaster.
Caution
7 Be very careful when taking the toast slices
out of the toaster as the metal parts of the
toaster and also the bread can become very
hot.
6 Disconnect the appliance from the wall socket.
7 If toast slices get stuck in the toaster, switch the
toaster off immediately by pressing the stop
button F. Pull the power plug out of the wall
socket. Let the toaster cool down completely.
Carefully try to take the bread out of the
toaster without damaging the sensitive heat-
ing elements and other parts. Do not use any
electroconductive objects to remove the bread
from the toaster.
