Before using for the first time
∙ Clean the toaster thoroughly (see
Cleaning and care).
∙ Switch on the toaster without any
bread inserted and go through at least
five toasting cycles at the maximum
temperature setting.
∙ Allow the toaster to cool down between
cycles.
∙ When switching on the appliance for
the first 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 can be
varied by turning the adjustable browning
control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.
In the case of sliced bread specifically
intended for toasting, we recommend
setting the browning control to position 4.
Operation
∙ Insert the plug into the wall socket.
∙ After adjusting the browning control,
insert the bread into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down.
∙ The indicator light on the eject button (
)
comes on.
∙ Once the desired degree of browning
is reached, the toaster switches off
automatically and the slices are ejected.
The indicator light goes out.
∙ To achieve regular browning when
toasting several slices in succession,
allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90
seconds after each cycle.
∙ Do not cover the toast slot during
operation.
Defrost function
The defrost function ( ) may be used in
addition to the normal action when toasting
deep-frozen bread. This will extend the
toasting process. This function is shown by
the indicator lamp.
Warm-up function
The warm-up function ( ) is suitable
for re-heating bread which has already
been toasted. Caution: Do not warm up
buttered bread.
After activating the toasting function, the
warm-up function can be used in addition.
This function is shown by the indicator
lamp.
