USE OF THE COMMANDS
•Make sure that the On/extra lift lever (B) is raised and the browning control dial (D) is set for a medium toasting level.
•Connect the appliance to the electrical outlet. In order to eliminate the “new” smell at the first use, operate the appliance without any food inside for at least 5 minutes. Aerate the room during this operation.
•Insert the slices of bread into the Bread toa- sting slots (A) and lower the On/extra lift lever (B) until it is all the way down.
The ON light (J) remains lit, indicating that the toaster is operating, until the On/extra lift lever (B) returns to the raised position.
Note: If the appliance is not connected to the electrical outlet, the On/extra lift lever (B) will not stay down.
•When the toasting is finished, the On/extra lift lever (B) returns to the raised position, rai- sing 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 (D).
•The toasting can be interrupted at any moment simply by pressing the Cancel button (I).
Caution: the bread toasting slots become very hot during operation. Do not touch.
Defrost Function
Frozen slices of bread and waffles may be toast- ed by pressing the Defrost button (F) immediate- ly after lowering the On/extra lift lever (B); 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
Press down the On/extra lift lever (B) and press the Reheat button (G). The reheat indicator light will remain lit while the reheat function is in use. Please note that this is a fixed reheat time which cannot be adjusted by the Browning control dial.
Bagel Function
The Bagel function allows you to have perfectly toasted bagels, with the cut sides toasted and the bottoms warmed. To toast bagels, first slice in half, then place the cut halves into each slot with cut sides facing outwards from the middle of each pair of slots. Press down the On/extra lift lever (B) and press the Bagel button (H); only the outer resistance coils of the toaster will operate. The bagel indicator light will remain lit while the Bagel function is in use.
SUGGESTIONS
•Never use the appliance when it is empty (when there is no bread inside).
•Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.
•Do not insert other foods that may drip during the cooking process. In addition to making the cleaning procedure more difficult, it may create a fire hazard. It is also very important to clean the crumb collection tray of any drippings before each use.
•Do not insert (by force) foods that are too large for the slots.
•Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster in order to remove bread, for this may damage the resistance coils of the appliance. Remove the plug from the outlet and allow the toaster to cool. Turn the appliance over, gen- tly shaking it to remove the lodged item.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Any cleaning and/or maintenance operation must be done after having removed the plug from the electrical outlet.
•Let the appliance cool down before procee- ding with its cleaning.
•The external part of the appliance must be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasi- ve detergents that can ruin the surface.
•DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
•After each use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and empty the crumb collec- tion tray that is under the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER WITH SHARP UTENSILS, ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS.
