Getting Started
Before first use
• Read all safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Remove all packaging materials, labels and/or stickers from the appliance
and dispose of them responsibly. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation
hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are
out of their reach.
• Make sure there is no packaging material remaining in the slots.
• Fully unwind the power cord and inspect it and the plug for damage. Do not
use the toaster if it is visibly damaged or not working properly. In case of
damage, contact the after sales support line for advice on replacement.
• Clean toaster before using it for the first time (see page 13 for cleaning
instructions).
• Place the toaster on an even and heat-resistant surface. Do not place
the toaster where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, or near
combustible materials.
• Plug the toaster into an appropriate power outlet and switch on power at the
outlet. The power socket must be readily accessible so that in an emergency
it can be easily switched off and the toaster unplugged.
• Set the browning control to the maximum level (6) and press the on/off
button.
• Let your toaster heat up for approximately four minutes without any bread.
NOTE: Due to remnants from the manufacturing process burning off, you
may notice a slight burning smell when first using the toaster. This is
no cause for concern. Place the toaster in a well ventilated area and
let it complete a few toasting cycles until no more odour or smoke is
present.
• After a short cooling down period, your toaster is now ready for use. The
usage instructions start on page 10. All parts referred to in the instructions
are listed on page 8.

Instructions
Toasting
• Make sure the crumb tray is properly in place before using the toaster. (It is
located underneath the heating elements and can be pulled out from the side
of the toaster opposite the controls.)
• Make sure that the power cord
underneath the appliance is clamped in
the respective cable guide: there are two
guides for the cord exit, one for a 120V
flat cord and one for a 240V round cord
(as pictured, right).
• Place the toaster on an even and heat-
resistant surface and connect it to a
properly installed wall socket. The LCD
panel lights up and displays the chosen
settings (browning level, countdown time, special functions, etc.).
• Press the open/close lid button to open the lid.
• Insert the bread into the bread slots. The toaster holds two slices.
• Turn the browning control knob to your desired browning level (1 - 6). The
higher the number, the longer the toasting time. (See page 12 for hints on
toasting times for different types of bread.)
• Press the on/off button. The lid of the toaster closes automatically and the
toasting process starts. The LCD panel will display the countdown toasting
time.
• When the required toasting level has been achieved, the toaster switches
off automatically. The lid opens, moving and lifting the toast slices into their
initial position for easy removal.
NOTE:To interrupt the toasting cycle before automatic cut-off, press the on/
off button. The lid will open and the toast slices can be removed.
• After several toasting cycles, pull out the crumb tray and clean it. (See the
cleaning instructions on page 13.)
WARNING:If a slice of bread should get stuck during the toasting process,
unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely before trying to
remove it. Do not use any sharp metal objects to do so.

Instructions
Reheat function
Use this function to reheat bread that was toasted earlier. Simply insert the
bread into the bread slots, press the reheat button and then the on/off button.
The lid closes and the reheating process starts. The toaster automatically stops
after approximately 24 seconds. The preset browning level has no influence on
the reheat cycle. To cancel the reheat function, press the reheat and the on/off
button.
Defrost function
To activate the defrost function, start the toaster as described before, but press
the defrost button before choosing your desired browning level, then press the
on/off button. The lid of the toaster closes and the countdown time starts. The
defrost cycle stops automatically. The preset browning level determines the
defrost/countdown time.
Bagel function
Cut your bagel into half and insert the two halves into the bread slots facing the
centre of the unit. Press the bagel function button (toasting on one side only),
choose your desired browning level and start the toasting cycle by pressing the
on/off button. To stop the toaster before it stops automatically, press the on/off
button.
CAUTION!
• Do not touch any hot parts of the toaster during or immediately after use.
• Toasted bread can be very hot, take care when handling it. Let it cool down
or use pot-holders.
• If the toaster does not switch off automatically after a few minutes, press the
on/off button and disconnect the power plug.
• If you notice smoke coming out of the toaster, disconnect it from the power
immediately. Wait until the toaster has cooled down and take out any food
that may still be inside the toasting slot. Turn the toaster upside down over a
sink and gently shake it to dislodge any burnt crumbs. Empty and clean the
crumb tray (see page 13).
• Never attempt to remove bread jammed in the toasting slot without
unplugging the toaster from the electrical outlet first. Be sure not to damage
the internal mechanism or heating elements when removing bread.

Some tips for perfect toasting
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying bread. As moisture levels differ
from one bread to another, toasting times can vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower browning setting.
• For fresh bread or wholemeal bread, use a higher setting.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a
higher setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly
longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before
toasting can occur.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves. Then follow
the instructions on page 11 for using the bagel function for one-side
toasting.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit bread, remove any loose raisins from the
surface of the bread before placing the slices into the toaster. This will help
prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in
the slot.
• Single slice toasting: If you are toasting a single slice of bread, select a
lighter browning setting than usual. The toaster is designed to heat the
whole toasting chamber for two slices. By reducing the time for toasting a
single slice, it will not be over-toasted.

Cleaning and maintenance
• Always disconnect the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool
before cleaning the toaster.
• Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly dampened cloth. Never
use a metal scouring pad, abrasive materials or metal polish on any surface.

• Clean the crumb tray regularly to avoid a build-up of crumbs. If the toaster
is used frequently, remove the accumulated bread crumbs at least once a
week.
• Pull the crumb tray out from the side of the toaster opposite the controls.
Empty it and wipe the tray with a slightly damp cloth. To remove stubborn
spots, use a nylon or plastic scouring pad dampened in soapy water and
