Operation
General information
-
Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than
fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the
browning control to a higher setting that
for toasting white bread.
-
Do not use slices which are too thick or
too big. They can get stuck in the toaster.
The thickness of the slices should not
exceed 25 mm.
● In case of problems or malfunctions and
before cleaning, always remove the plug
from the wall socket.
-
To remove a slice caught in the slot, use a
blunt wooden stick (e.g. a brush handle).
Never touch the metal heating elements.
-
Variations in beard 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 the
toasting cycles.
Please 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, which will disappear after a
short while.
Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning is infinitely
adjustable by turning the browning control
knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
Operation
-
After adjusting the degree of browning,
insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down.
-
Once the desired degree of browning is
reached, the toaster will switch off
automatically and the slices are ejected
and can be removed.
-
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,
press the stop button. The toaster will switch
off and the slices will be ejected.
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.
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.
