3. Carefully remove all shipping materials and promotional materials. However,
DO NOT remove the model label at the bottom of the housing.
WARNING:
Always switch OFF (press the CANCEL button), unplug, and
leave the appliance cool down, before cleaning. Do not immerse the housing or
power cord in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on the housing or power
cord.
Do not place the housing or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
4. Before first use and after a longer period of storage, clean the appliance and
its parts (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
Important:
The first few times you are using the appliance, you may notice a slight
odour and a little smoke escaping from the bread slots. This is because some
extent material derived from the manufacturing process is burnt off. This is normal
and will disappear soon.
5. Turn on the appliance and allow it to complete an entire toasting cycle with
browning level 5 without any bread slices in the bread slots to remove any resi-
dues from the manufacturing process (see: ‘Operation’).
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accesso-
ries are out of reach of young children. The appliance is intended for heating
bread slices, thus the inner heating elements and even the outer surfaces will
become very hot. During operation, only touch the appliance at the operating ele-
ments to avoid scalds.
Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, heat-resistant, and level surface (see:
‘General Safety Instructions’). Do not place any clothes or tissue or other foreign
objects on or under the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire, overhea-
ting, and electric shock. Do not block the ventilation slots at the bottom of the hou-
sing. During operation, the operating elements (see: ‘Knowing Your Design Toaster
Pro 4S’) must be accessible all the time.
Bread slices may distort while toasted and therefore touch the heating elements of
the toaster and catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
Thus, it is crucial to keep the appliance in appropriate distance of at least 50 cm
on each side to any other objects during operation. Ensure to keep the appliance
in an appropriate distance to inflammable objects (e.g. curtains, table art). Do not
operate the appliance under over-hanging boards or drop lights.
Before operating the appliance, always ensure that all parts are in proper working
order and completely dry (see: ‘General Safety Instructions’). Do not use any dama-
ged or unsuitable parts to avoid risk of injuries and damage.
To avoid risk of fire, overheating and electric shock: Do not toast any food that is
packed in any type of foil. Do not insert bread slices that are too thin, too big or
broken, or will drip. Before operation always ensure that the crump tray is empty
and inserted correctly.
Before removing bread slices sticking within the bread slots, always unplug the appli-
ance from the power supply and leave the appliance cool down. Do not insert any
hard or sharp objects into the bread slots, to avoid damage to the heating elements.
1. Prepare your food. Using a sharp knife with non-serrated blade, cut the bread
into slices of appropriate size (up to 11 x 11 cm, 0.5-2.5 cm thick). Remove
any crumbs before toasting.
Tip:
There is no need to thaw frozen bread slices before toasting. Instead, you
may use the DEFROST function.
2. Pull the crumb tray out of the appliance and empty the crumb tray. Thereafter
replace the crumb tray.
3. Place the appliance on a suitable working space (see: ‘General Safety Instruc-
tions’) and connect the appliance to the power supply.
Note
The toasting lever will not engage in the lower operating position with the appli-
ance not live.
4. Insert the prepared bread slices into the bread slots. Then push the toasting lever
down until it engages in the lower operating position. The CANCEL button illu-
minates. Additionally, some LEDs of the LED display illuminate, indicating the
browning level.
Important:
As a default, the toaster starts with browning level 5 (5 LEDs illumina-
ted). You may change this setting or select the defrost or reheat function within 10
seconds after starting the toasting process. However, you can cancel the toasting
process any time you like by pressing the CANCEL button. Thereafter, any recent
setting of the browning level will be deleted from memory. When starting the next
toasting process the appliance will start with the default browning level 5 (see:
‘Properties of Your New Design Toaster Pro 4S’).
5. If you wish to change the browning level, turn the browning dial within 10
seconds after starting the toasting process, until the desired number of LEDs is
illuminated.
