Connecting the appliance

I Plug in the appliance at the mains (1).

Before first use

In order to remove any possible remains from
manufacturing, the toaster should, before being
used for the first time, be heated 1 to 2 times to
the highest toasting temperature, without any
bread in the toasting well (ventilate the room).
Using the toaster
I Insert the slices of bread (2).
Do not use slices which are too large or too thick,
as they must not be allowed to get stuck in the
toasting well.
I Select the degree of toasting (3).
Choose between 6-7 different degrees of browning
by setting the selector to the appropriate position:
Position 1 = lightly toasted
Position 6/7 = very well toasted
When first using, try out the toasting setting, as
the result depends on the type of bread and the
degree of moisture.
Generally speaking, a higher temperature is re-
quired for non-white bread.
Turn the toasting level selector to a lower number
if, for example, only one slice of bread is being
toasted.
Caution:
Relatively dry slices of bread, or bread that has al-
ready been toasted once, will brown much more
quickly and may under certain circumstances catch
fire. Therefore, set the heat control to a lower set-
ting and do not leave the toaster unattended.
