Before Initial Use
CAUTION!:
❐
You might notice a strange smell or smoke the fi rst time you toast something. We there-
fore recommend that you fi rst perform 3 toastings at the highest setting without any bread
in order to remove any production residues that may be present. You should leave a three-
minute gap between each toasting. During this time, make sure the room is well ventilated,
e. g. with wide-open windows!
❐
Before fi rst using the device, please also note the information in the "Toasting" chapter.
❐
Keep children away from the packaging materials. There is a danger of suffocation as well
as other hazards!
1. Unpack all parts and check the items supplied for completeness (see the "Items Supplied
and Device Overview" chapter) and transport damage. If you fi nd any damage to the com-
ponents, do not use them (!), but contact our customer service department.
2. Remove any fi lms or stickers that may be present from the device.
3. Check whether the lowering lever can be operated smoothly.
4. Unwind the cable from the cable winder to the length you require.
5. Place the toaster on a dry, heat-resistant, fl at surface a suffi cient distance away from fl am-
mable objects. Please make sure that the toaster is not accessible to children.
6. Plug the mains plug into a properly installed and earthed 230 V mains socket with earthing
contacts.
7. Perform 3 toasting operations at the highest level without bread in order to remove any
production residues. Ensure that there is an interval of a few minutes between the toast-
ing operations.
8. Your toaster is now ready for operation.
Toasting
The extent of browning depends greatly on the type, the freshness and the composition of
the bread which is used. An increased protein, sugar or calcium content, for example, leads
to stronger browning, whilst fats and preservatives reduce it. Initially, depending on your own
personal taste and the bread, you should start with a low toasting setting and increase it in
stages until you get an optimum level of browning that you are happy with.
CAUTION!
❐
Danger of burns! The housing of the toaster becomes hot during use! Only touch the de-
vice by the handles and buttons which are provided for this purpose!
❐
Before using the toaster, make sure the crumb tray is inserted completely.
❐
With a piece of conventional wheat toast or thick slices, burning and the development of
smoke may result if the toasting setting is too high. In this case, abort the toasting process
immediately by pressing the
CANCEL
button.
