First use
WARNING: DO NOT let young children play with the appliance, or any part of
it, or the packaging!
It is important to carefully remove all packaging and shipping materials as well as any price-
tags, but do not remove the model label on the bottom of the appliance. Ensure that there are no
foreign objects (e.g. packaging) in the slots, before operating the appliance.
Unpack the appliance carefully and check, if there are any parts damaged or missing.
Tip:
The carriage lever engages in the operating position only, when the toaster is connected
to the power supply.
When using the toaster for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze, because of the first
heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern. To prevent smell and taste of
your food from being affected, you should heat the appliance on browning level 6 before placing
any foodstuffs in the slots (see: Operation). If the burnt smell occurs again on later use, clean the
toaster (see: Cleaning). If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even after thoroughly cleaning, return
the appliance to an authorized service centre for examination and repair.
Operation
WARNING:
Before operation, always ensure that there are no foreign objects in the slots of
the appliance.
NEVER
poke in the slots with any foreign objects (e.g. knives, cooking utensils)
or your fingers to avoid injuries or damage due to high temperatures, fire or electric shock or
damage to the internal mechanism of the toaster or the heating elements.
DO NOT attempt to dislodge jammed food when the appliance is in opera-
tion.
If food becomes stuck in the appliance, switch Off (via the cancel button
X
) the appli-
ance, disconnect the plug from the power supply and wait for the appliance to cool before
attempting to remove the food.
DO NOT
use violence when removing jammed food to avoid
damage to the internal mechanism or the heating elements. When removing foodstuffs immedi-
ately after toasting, be aware that the foodstuffs are very hot.
Note:
Always ensure that the crumb tray is in place before operating the toaster. Otherwise
crumps may become charred on the bottom of the toaster and stick to the surfaces.
The bun warmer rack is intended only for warming up rolls and buns as a whole.
For toasting bread slices and halved bagels in the toasting slots, the bun warmer rack may not
be placed on the toaster.
1. Make the toaster ready for use.
Place the toaster on a suitable surface. For toasting bread slices or halved buns/bagels, remo-
ve the bun warmer rack from the toaster. Ensure that the crumb tray is inserted properly on the
back of the toaster. (See Cleaning) Insert the plug in
a suitable wall power socket. (See Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances)
Toasting Bread Slices
2. Using a sharp knife, cut the food (bread or similar bakery produce) in slices of even thick-
ness and appropriate size: max. 12 x 12 cm; 0.5 to 2.5 cm thick. Try to get a smooth cut and
remove the crumbs.
3. Insert a slice of bread in each slot of the toaster.
4. Turn the browning control dial to the desired browning: 1 (light) to 6 (dark). For the first use,
it is recommended to select a medium browning level (3 – 4; see: Tips for Best Results).
5. Press the carriage lever down gently until it engages in the operating position. The red ope-
ration indicator illuminates (above the cancel button), and the toasting starts.
