Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow the appliance to cool down. Use a
hard brush to remove crumbs sticking to the grids and the heater. Do not tilt the appliance while you
do this, or crumbs will spill from the crumb tray into the inside of the toaster. Then pull out the crumb
tray, clean it and reinsert.
Never immerse the toaster in water. Wipe the outside of the appliance only with a damp cloth and
some washing-up liquid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Start-up
The section of the power cable not in use can be wound up and stored on the base of the appliance.
Connect the power plug to a shockproof socket.
Prior to first use, carry out at least three toasting cycles without bread and at medium power, to
remove the surface protection on the heating elements. The smell released during this process
is harmless, but you should ensure good ventilation nevertheless. Always allow the appliance to
cool down a little before switching it on.
Insert the toast slices into the toasting slots. To avoid slices becoming jammed, they should not be
thicker than 30 mm. Insert small slices upright and next to each other in a toasting slot; this will make
it easier to remove them after toasting.
To begin with set the control knob for the browning degree to medium level. Push down the bread
carriage lever. The device switches on and the lift button automatically moves about 2 cm upward into
the holding position for the duration of the toasting process. After the toasting time expires, the lift
button returns to the initial position, the device automatically switches off and the finished toast is
raised from the bread slot for removal.
Notes on the browning level
If the toast is too light, select a higher control setting. If the toast is too dark, place the control on
a lower setting. The higher the setting, the darker the browning is. With the control, you can brown
toast entirely to your taste from just slightly (min setting
) to strong, dark brown (max setting
).
The toasting result may vary at the same setting depending on the type, size, moisture and thickness
of the bread slices. Therefore, select a lower setting when toasting less moist bread, smaller slices or
only one slice.
When toasting only one slice, the browning level on the side facing inwards will be slightly more
intensive.
Acrylamide is generated during excessive browning. Excessive browning of the toast should
therefore be avoided.
Interrupting the toasting process
Press the illuminated button to interrupt the toasting process.
Warming / retoasting
If the warming button is pressed immediately after switching on the appliance,
cold but already toasted bread will be crisped up and too lightly toasted bread
will be slightly retoasted.
Defrosting
If this button is pressed directly after the appliance is switched on, the toast-
ing cycle will be extended automatically to toast frozen bread.
Removing the toast
With the integrated automatic lift mechanism, small slices of bread can also be
removed safely and easily.
Bread roll attachment
The toaster is fitted with an integrated roll attachment, which can be used by
pressing the button downwards.
Two rolls can be warmed up from either side on a medium setting in each case.
Rolls which are too dry should be moistened slightly beforehand - it works better
this way.
Crumb tray
Crumbs produced during toasting are collected in the crumb tray. You can then
pull the tray out of the appliance.
