these instructions are not complied with.
Operation
General information
∙ Caution: The operating lever locks
down only when the plug is inserted.
∙ Do not use slices which are too thick or
too big, as they may become stuck in the
toaster. The thickness of the slices to be
toasted should not exceed 14 mm.
∙ In case of problems or malfunctions
during use, and before cleaning,
always remove the plug from the wall
socket.
∙ To remove a slice caught in the slot, use
a blunt wooden implement (e.g. a brush
handle). Never touch the metal heating
elements.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
Cleaning and care).
∙ Switch on the toaster and go through
at least fi ve cycles, at the maximum
browning setting, without any bread
inserted.
∙ Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
∙ When switching on the appliance for
the fi rst time, the toaster may emit a
slight smell and a little smoke, which will
disappear after a short while. For that
reason, adequate ventilation should be
ensured by opening windows or balcony
doors.
Automatic switch-off
This appliance comes with an automatic
switch-off feature. If a bread slice should
become stuck and cannot be ejected after
the toasting cycle is complete, the toaster will
automatically switch off. Should this occur,
disconnect the appliance from the mains and
remove the bread slice as described in the
section General information.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning may be set
using the digital browning control, once the
operating lever has been pushed down.
Light: levels 1-3
Dark: levels 5-7
In the case of sliced bread specifi cally
intended for toasting, we recommend setting
the browning control to position 4.
The browning level last selected remains
stored for the next toasting cycle.
Operation
∙ Insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ Insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down.
∙ The indicator lights on the operating lever
and the three function buttons will initially
fl ash, and are then replaced by steady
lights on the eject button ( ) and the
selected browning setting.
∙ If required, the browning level can be
adjusted by using the +/- buttons.
∙ Once the desired degree of browning
is reached, the toaster switches off
