Important
.
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save
them for future reference.
◗
Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the
appliance.
◗
Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
◗
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service
centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
◗
Do not immerse the appliance or the mains cord in water or any
other liquid.
◗
Always unplug the appliance after use.
◗
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗
Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or
worktop on which the appliance is standing and keep the cord away
from hot surfaces.
◗
Do not let the appliance operate unattended. Do not operate it
under or near curtains or other flammable materials or under wall
cabinets, as bread may burn.
◗
Avoid touching the metal parts of the toaster as they become very
hot during toasting. Only touch the controls and lift the appliance by
its plastic body.
◗
The toaster is intended for household use only and may only be used
indoors.
◗
To avoid the risk of fire, frequently remove crumbs from the crumb
tray. Make sure the crumb tray is correctly placed.
◗
Immediately unplug the toaster if fire or smoke is observed.
◗
If a slice of bread gets stuck inside the toaster, unplug the appliance
and let it cool down before trying to remove the bread. Do not use a
knife or a sharp tool, as these may cause damage to the heating
elements.
◗
The appliance is only meant for toasting bread. Do not put any other
ingredients in the appliance, as this may lead to a hazardous situation.
◗
Oversized foods and metal foil packages must not be inserted into
the toaster, as this may cause fire or electric shock.
◗
Do not place the toaster on a hot surface.
Before first use
.
Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the toaster with a damp cloth.
Before using the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the
appliance complete a few toasting cycles without slices of bread on the
highest browning setting in a properly ventilated room. This will burn off any
dust that may have accumulated on the heating elements and will prevent
unpleasant smells when toasting bread.
Using the appliance
.
1
Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface, away from curtains and
other combustible materials. Put the plug in the wall socket.
◗
You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the
brackets in the base of the appliance (fig. 2).
Toasting bread
Never let the toaster operate unattended.
1
Put one or two slices of bread in the toaster (fig. 3).
2
Select the desired browning setting (fig. 4).
Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread and a high setting (5-7)
for darkly toasted bread. Select the defrost function
—
(settings 6 to 7,
depending on the desired browning degree) for toasting frozen bread.
3
Push the toasting lever down to switch the appliance on (fig. 5).
The toasting lever will only stay down if the appliance has been connected
to the mains.
The metal parts of the toaster will get hot during toasting. Be careful not
to touch them.
4
When the toast is ready, it pops up and the toaster switches off.
◗
The toaster will switch off automatically. You can stop the toasting
process and pop the bread up at any time by pressing the stop button
on the side of the toaster (fig. 6).
◗
To remove smaller items, you can move the toasting lever upwards a
little further (fig. 7).
◗
If bread gets stuck inside the toaster, remove the plug from the wall
socket, let the appliance cool down completely and carefully remove
the bread from the toaster. Do not use a knife or another sharp
metal tool to do this and do not touch the metal internal parts of the
toaster.
