maintenance and accessories assembly.

OPERATION
● Before using your appliance check if any object has fallen into the slot.
● For safety reasons, connect the appliance only to a mains earthed wall socket.
● Place the bread slices in the slot (for the French bread, cut a loaf shorter than

to receive French bread, but also pieces of toast or other bread slices if their
thickness and their length are shorter than the slot.
● Press down the bread carriage handle until it stops (in the same time, the grid
inside the slot will tighten around the bread in order to keep it away from the
heating wires). Then release the pressure and the handle will stay in the lower
position, which means that the heating process has begun. If the handle comes
up immediately, check if the appliance is plugged in as it blocks when the unit
is plugged in.

positioning the browning control selector to one of the degrees marked from 1
to 5. Therefore, you only have to turn clockwise to increase the intensity, and

bread will be.
● During the functioning, if you think that the bread is toasted enough or for
another reason, you can break the heating process, simply by pressing the
cancel button.
● The reheat button allows you to reheat already toasted bread or to toast bread
which is not toasted enough during a short time without modifying the browning
degree.

storing it.
