Safety instructions
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
► If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, their customer service
department or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid potential risks.
► Use the appliance only in dry indoor areas, not outdoors.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other
liquids! If you do, then you could receive a potentially
fatal electric shock.
► NEVER insert cutlery items or other metallic objects into the
toaster slots.
► Ensure that the appliance can never come into contact with
water. NEVER use the appliance adjacent to water or close
to vessels containing liquids.
► Ensure that the power cable never gets wet or moist when
the appliance is in use. Lay the cable such that it cannot be
clamped or otherwise damaged.
► After use, always remove the plug from the mains power
socket, this prevents the unintentional switching on of the
appliance.

■ 6 │ GB│IE│NI STEC 1000 A1
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
► The appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
► Children should not play with the appliance.
► Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed
by children, unless they are older than 8 years of age and
are supervised.
Children younger than 8 years of age are to be kept away
from the appliance and the power cable.
► The appliance can become hot when it is in use. Therefore,
only touch the operating elements.
► Use the appliance only on a stable, non-slippery and level
surface.
► Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote
control system to operate the appliance.
► Unwind the power cable completely from the cable winder
before using the appliance.
► Risk of burning if you do not use standard toast bread!
Because of the smaller size or shape, there is a risk of
touching hot parts when removing the toasted bread.

GB│IE│NI │ 7 ■STEC 1000 A1
CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE!
► Bakery products can burn! You should therefore NEVER
locate the appliance close to or underneath inflammable
objects, especially not under curtains or suspended
cupboards.
► This appliance may not be used in close vicinity to flammable
material.
► NEVER cover the toaster when it is in use.
Tips for use
■ Avoid using slices that are too big or too thick, as these can easily become
jammed in the appliance. Should slices of bread become jammed, first
disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. Release jammed slices of
bread with a blunt wooden object (e.g. a wooden spatula or spoon).
Thereby, do NOT touch the heater elements.
■ Differences in bread sorts, moisture content and the thickness of individual
slices influence the browning of the toast. Therefore the bread for toasting
should be kept in sealed packaging until required. Always initially try out
a lower level of browning.
■ Use a lower level of browning if you are toasting dry bread, as dry bread
browns faster than fresh bread.
■ Select a higher level of browning for dark bread than for light bread, for
example, wheat bread.
■ The numbers on the toasting dial 2are not time indications. They serve
only as a guide for the browning.
■ To avoid an overheating of the toaster and to obtain an even browning
of bread, wait for about 15 seconds between two toasting processes.
■ You should only use the highest level on the toasting dial 2for large slices
of dark bread. With this browning level light bread will scorch and become
inedible. In addition, it may cause the generation of smoke. If this occurs,
press the button “Stop” 3immediately and disconnect the power cable
from the mains power socket.

■ 8 │ GB│IE│NI STEC 1000 A1
Setting up
CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE
► You should therefore NEVER locate the appliance close to or underneath
inflammable objects, especially not under curtains or suspended cupboards.
■ Unwind the cable completely from around the cable winder 9and lead it
through the cable clamp 1.
■ Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface.
■ Insert the plug into a mains power socket.
NOTICE
► When the toaster is not in use, always remove the plug from the mains power
socket. This is the only way to ensure that the appliance is current-free.
Before taking into use
■ Operate the toaster without bread for 3 times at the maximum browning
level “6“.
■ Afterwards, clean the toaster as described in the chapter “Cleaning”.
NOTICE
► The operating button 8only engages when the cable is connected to a
mains power socket.
► With the first usage a slight smell can arise (minimal smoke development is
also possible). This is normal and dissipates after a short time. Provide for
sufficient ventilation. For example, open a window.
Operation
Adjusting the browning level
The desired level of browning, from “light” (1) to “dark” (6), can be adjusted
infinitely with the toasting dial 2.
Toasting
CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE!
► Do not cover the toasting slots 7when the appliance is in operation.
There will be a risk of fire! The appliance could be irreparably damaged!

GB│IE│NI │ 9 ■STEC 1000 A1
NOTICE
► If you only want to put one piece of toast into the toaster, turn the toasting
dial 2down by approx. 1 level to achieve the same level of browning as
with two pieces of toast.
1) After setting the desired browning level, insert the bread into the toaster
slots 7.
2) Press the operating button 8downwards. The automatic bread centring
device centres the inserted bread in the toaster slots 7. During the toasting
process the control lamp integrated in the “Stop” button 3glows.
3) When the desired level of browning has been reached the toaster switches
itself off automatically, the slices are ejected to the top and the control lamp
goes out.
Interrupting the toasting process
If you wish to interrupt the toasting procedure, press the button “Stop” 3.
The toaster switches itself off and the bread slices are ejected upwards.
Warming function
The warming function enables you to warm bread without browning it. As
an example, for toast that has gone cold. The bread is only briefly warmed.
1) Insert the bread and press the operating button 8downwards.
2) Press the “Warm up” button 4. The integrated control lamp lights up.
3) When the bread has been reheated, the appliance switches itself off
automatically and the slices are ejected upwards.
NOTE
► Press the button "Warm up" button 4again to switch off the warming
function. The integrated control lamp goes out and the warming process
switches to a normal toasting process.
Defrost function
By pressing the button “Defrosting” 5, also frozen bread can be thawed and
toasted. With this, the toaster slowly warms the bread. Activating the defrost
function will allow the frozen bread to achieve the same browning level as when
you toast fresh bread.
1) After setting the desired browning level, insert the bread into the toaster
slots 7.
2) Press the operating button 8downwards.
3) Press the button “Defrosting” 5. The integrated control lamp glows.

■ 10 │ GB│IE│NI STEC 1000 A1

off automatically, the control lamp integrated in the button “Defrosting” 5
goes out and the bread slices are ejected to the top.
NOTE
► Press the "Defrost" button 5again to switch off the defrost function.
The integrated control lamp goes out and the defrost process switches to
a normal toasting process.
Crisping bread rolls
Never lay bread rolls directly onto the toaster, always use the bread roll rack 6.
1) Fold out the two feet of the bread roll rack 6.
2) Place the bread roll rack 6onto the appliance so that the feet protrude into
the toasting slots 7and the bar between the toasting slots 7fits into the
arched sections on the feet. In this position, the bread roll rack 6sits on the
appliance stably.
3) Place the bread rolls onto the rack and start the toasting procedure. Turn the
toasting dial 2up to level 1 , at most. The actual level of browning can
vary depending on the composition and type of bread roll.
NOTE
► After toasting, the rolls will be very hot.
4) As soon as the toaster switches itself off, turn the rolls over to crisp the other
side and then switch the toaster back on.
5) When you are finished with the bread roll rack 6, you can fold it for
space-saving storage:
–Wait until the bread roll rack 6has cooled down.
–Remove it from the appliance.
–Fold the feet of the bread roll rack 6back in.
Crumb tray
When toasting, crumbs that fall from the bread are collected in the crumb tray 0.
1) To empty crumbs from the crumb tray 0, simply pull it out.
2) Tip out the crumbs.
3) Slide the crumb tray 0back into the toaster so that it palpably engages.
