(only on some models)
Preparation of sandwiches or toasts
The toaster is equipped with a cooking cycle specific
for the preparation of sandwiches or toasts:
1. Insert the sandwich into the rack.
2. Insert the rack into the slot.
3. Hold down the REHEAT button until you see the
browning level number slowly flashing on the
display.
4. Lower the operating lever.
With this feature, your sandwich will be well browned
on the outside and cooked inside.
The function is not available on levels 1 and
2; in these cases, when the reheat button is
hold down, the display will quickly flash 3 times
and Reheat function will be turned off.
If the toaster starts to smoke, press the CAN -
CEL button to stop toasting immediately.
Avoid toasting food with extremely runny in -
gredients such as butter.
Be careful not to damage the internal mecha -
nism or heating elements when removing
the bread.
Toast any items only until they are golden
brown and not brown or too dark.
Remove any burnt edges. Do not over-toast
food containing starch - especially grain and po -
tato products - to reduce the production of acryl
amides.
If a slice gets stuck at the end of the toasting pro -
cess, pull the power plug and carefully remove the
bread after the toaster has cooled down.
The use of browning levels from 4 to 6 is
recommended for the preparation of san -
dwiches.
Depending on the quantity or quality of stuf -
fing, it can happen that the inside of the
sandwich is not warm enough or completely melt:
in case, please leave the sandwich into the slot for
about one minute after ending the toasting.

DISPOSAL OF OLD
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Wa-
ste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electri -
cal appliances must not be disposed of in
the normal unsorted municipal waste stre-
am.
Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected. Con-
sumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
