is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. For sto-
rage always keep the entire appliance dry and clean and where young children
cannot reach it. Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance
or any part of it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large
table or counter. Do not place any cloth or tissue beneath or on the appliance, to
avoid any risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Do not place any objects
(i.e. cold toast) on the appliance during operation. Always keep the table or
counter clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids. Do not place the
appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or
where it can fall.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas
burner, grill or oven).
• During toasting, cakes and pastries can fall to pieces, bend and catch fire when
over-heated. Do not leave the appliance unattended, when connected to the
power supply. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply, when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning or moving. Always allow the appli-
ance to cool down before cleaning. Always grasp the appliance on its side walls
for moving or lifting it.
• Only toast slices of simple cakes and pastries without any filling or glaze (i.e. jam,
mayonnaise, or icing) and of suitable size (13 cm x 13 cm; 1/2 to 3 cm thick).
The slices may not protrude the slots or stick or jam in the slots. Do not use the
toaster for toasting or cooking of very dry cakes and pastries (i.e. cookies) filled
rolls or sandwiches.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any hard and sharp objects (i.e.
metal scouring pads) for cleaning. Clean the toaster with a damped sponge or
tissue and carefully dry the exterior of the toaster after cleaning. Do not handle
the appliance or any part of it with violence. Never place the appliance or any
part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the toaster or power cord in water, or allow moisture to come in
contact with the appliance. Do not insert any foreign objects in the slots and do
not poke in the slots, to avoid risk of electric shock and damage of the heating
elements.
• If smoke comes out of the slots or the bread crumbles or bends in the slots, then
immediately cancel the toasting process by pressing the CANCEL button and
unplug the toaster. Wait for the toaster to cool down, before carefully removing
jammed bread slices. Ensure not to damage the heating elements on each side of
the slots. Always operate the toaster with the crumb tray in place.
