Before Using for the First Time

•Clip excess cord into the cord storage clips underneath the toaster.

•As with all new heating elements, your toaster may emit a slight burning or ‘new’ smell when it is first switched on. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

•To eliminate the ‘new’ smell at the first use, operate the toaster on a medium setting without any bread inside. Ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation.

TO USE YOUR TOASTER

•Make sure than the ON levers (D) are at the rest position. Move the browning control dial (B) to the desired setting.

•Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet.

•Insert the slices of bread into the bread toasting slots (A) and lower the lever (D) until it is all the way down.

Note: If the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet, the lever (D) will not stay down.

•When the toasting is finished, the lever returns to the rest position, raising the toasted bread slices at the same time.

•If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker degree of toasting by turning the browning control dial (B).

•The toasting can be interrupted at any time by pressing the Stop/Cancel button (F). Never lift the lever (D) to cancel toasting.

Caution: the bread toasting slots become very hot during operation. Do not touch.

Defrost function

Frozen slices of bread may be toasted by pressing the Defrost button (E) immediately after lowering the lever (D); the toasting cycle will be lengthened in order to achieve the desired browning. The defrost indicator light will remain lit while the defrost function is in use.

Reheat function

To warm toast that has popped up but gone cold, lower the lever (D) again and then press the ‘Reheat’ button (G). Please note that this is fixed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the browning control. The reheat function can be cancelled at any time by pressing the Stop/Cancel button (F). The reheat indicator light will remain lit while the reheat function is in use.
