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.

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.
