reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given
initial supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a per-
son responsible for their safety.
Child Safety
• Never leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
• Keep children away from electrical
appliances.
• Packaging material, e.g. plastic bags,
should not be accessible to children.
• Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Safety in operation
• Always place the unit on a flat, level
surface.
• Do not place any objects such as toast,
bread or similar on top of your toaster
when in use.
• Use your toaster well away from walls,
curtains or other combustible materi-
als.
• Do not leave your toaster unattended
when in use.
• Do not use the appliance without
crumb tray in place. Clean crumb tray
regularly. Do not allow crumbs to
accumulate in the crumb tray.
• Do not cover the toasting slots when
toasting.
• Do not toast stale bread, rice crackers
or similar, on high settings as they may
catch fire.
• Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, crumpets or muffins with a knife
or any other object, as contact with
live element may cause electrocution.
• Parts on the top of the appliance and
in the toasting slot will become hot –
there is a risk of burns!
Safety in cleaning and care
• Follow the cleaning instructions.
• Prior to cleaning, unplug the appliance
first and let cool down!
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid.
• Do not store or cover the appliance
until it has fully cooled down.
Operating
Before using for the first time

Before using your appliance for the first
time, remove all packing material, wipe
the housing with a damp cloth and dry.
0
Plug the power cable into a
220-240 V power outlet.

To avoid the build up of unpleasant
odours, the appliance should be placed
near an open window and operated a
few times at the maximum browning
setting
without any bread
.
Toasting bread
0
Plug the power cable into a 220-240 V
power outlet.

Position the bread into the bread slot
(Fig. 1/C).

The extra wide and deep bread slots
enable you to toast a large variety of
breads – regardless of thickness.
Whether you are toasting thick or thin
bread, your bread will always be held in
the centre of the slot to ensure even
toasting.
0
Select the desired colour setting on the
browning control (Fig. 1/A).
Setting 1 for lightest browning. Setting
6 for darkest browning. The additional
frozen setting
is for toasting frozen
bread.

We would recommend to adjust a set-
ting that the toast is browned to a
„golden yellow“ or „light-brown“
colour. The electronic browning control
ensures that once a browning setting
has been chosen, the results are always
the same for the same type of bread.

Important: Do not toast stale bread,
rice crackers or similar on a high set-
ting as they may catch fire.
