Philips HD2611, HD2615, HD2613 manual English, Before first use, Using the appliance, Toasting bread

ENGLISH 7

Before first use

Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the toaster with a damp cloth.

Before using the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the appliance complete a few toasting cycles without slices of bread on the highest browning setting in a properly ventilated room. This will burn off any dust that may have accumulated on the heating elements and will prevent unpleasant smells when toasting bread.

Using the appliance

1Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface, away from curtains and other combustible materials. Put the plug in the wall socket.

◗You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the brackets in the base of the appliance (fig. 2).

Toasting bread

Never let the toaster operate unattended.

1Put one or two slices of bread in the toaster (fig. 3).

2Select the desired browning setting (fig. 4).

Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread and a high setting for a dark browning result (5-7).

3Push the toasting lever down to switch the appliance on (fig. 5).

-The stop button lights up.

-The toasting lever will only stay down if the appliance has been connected to the mains.

The metal parts of the toaster will get hot during toasting. Be careful not to touch them.

4When the toast is ready, it pops up and the toaster switches off.

◗The toaster will switch off automatically.You can stop the toasting process and pop the bread up at any time by pressing the STOP button on top of the toaster (fig. 6).

◗To remove smaller items, you can move the toasting lever upwards a little further.

◗If bread gets stuck inside the toaster, remove the plug from the wall socket, let the appliance cool down completely and carefully remove the bread from the toaster. Do not use a knife or another sharp metal tool to do this and do not touch the metal internal parts of the toaster.
