Important safety instructions
●There is always a danger that bread may
catch fire, e.g. if it is toasted more than
once or comes into contact with the
heating elements. Therefore ensure that
the appliance is not positioned or
operated in close proximity to curtains or
any such inflammable materials. Do not
leave the appliance unattended during
use.
●In order to prevent damage to the
housing, do not position the appliance on
or near hot surfaces or open flames such
as hot-plates or gas flames.
●Caution: the accessible housing surfaces
become very hot during operation. Burns
can occur from touching the hot parts.
●Always position the appliance on a level
heat-resistant surface.
●Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for any
defects. Should the appliance, for
instance, have been dropped onto a hard
surface, it must not be used any longer:
even invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
●Do not cover the toast slot during
operation.
●Do not try to remove bread from the
toaster with your fingers or insert any
other objects (eg knives, forks) into the
toast slot as the heating elements carry a
live current.
●The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
●Do not allow the power cord to touch
hot surfaces.
●Do not let the power cord hang free.
●Always remove the plug from the wall
socket after use, and also
-in case of any malfunction,
-when fitting or removing the warming
top,
-when cleaning the appliance.
●When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
●The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer

Operation
General information
- Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than
fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the
browning control to a higher setting than
for toasting white bread.
- Do not use slices which are too thick or
too big, as they may become stuck in the
toaster. The thickness of the slices to be
toasted should not exceed 14 mm.
●In case of problems or malfunctions
during use, and before cleaning, always
remove the plug from the wall socket.
- To remove a slice stuck in the toast slot,
use a blunt wooden implement (eg a
brush handle). Never touch the metal
heating elements.
- Variations in bread type, humidity
content and thickness of the slices result
in different degrees of browning. The
bread should therefore be kept in a
sealed wrapping.
Before using for the first time
- Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
General care and cleaning).
- Switch on the toaster without any bread
inserted and go through at least five
toasting cycles at the maximum
temperature setting.
- Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
- Note: the operating lever locks down
only when the plug is inserted.
- When switching on the appliance for the
first time, the toaster may emit a slight
smell and a little smoke, but this will
disappear after a short while. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning can be
varied by turning the adjustable browning
control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
In the case of sliced bread specifically
intended for toasting, we recommend a
browning control setting of 3 to 4.
Operation
-
After adjusting the browning control,
insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down. The
indicator lamp will go on.
- Once the desired degree of browning is
reached, the toaster switches off
automatically; the slices are ejected, and
can be removed once the indicator lamp
goes off.
- To achieve regular browning when
toasting several slices in succession, allow
the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90
seconds after each cycle.
●The toasting time may be shortened as a
result of fluctuations in the power supply.
●Do not cover the toast slot during
operation.

Interrupting the toasting cycle
If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle,
push the operating lever up. The toaster will
switch off and the slices are ejected.
Warming up rolls, buns etc.
- To warm up buns, rolls or other bakery
items, push the slide control operating
lever for the warming top down to raise
the bread roll holder.
- Place the items to be warmed up on the
top, adjust the browning control to a
medium setting and then push down the
operating lever to switch on the toaster.
- Once the browning cycle is complete and
the appliance has automatically switched
off, turn the roll or bread over and repeat
the cycle.
- After use, return the bread roll holder to
its rest position by pushing the slide
control back up.
●Do not place the items directly on the
toast slot.
General care and cleaning
●Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the toaster with water and do not
immerse it in water.
●Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
- The exterior may be wiped with a dry or
slightly damp lint-free cloth.
Crumb tray
During use, any bread crumbs falling down
are collected in the crumb tray. To empty
the tray, pull it out sideways.
Power cord storage
Unwind the power cord completely before
operation and make sure it is kept well away
from the appliance.
Allow for a sufficient cooling-down period
before winding up the power cord after use.
Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage,
but only through public collection
points.
