▪ Stop using the appliance and/or connect it from the mains plug immediately if:
⋅ The appliance or mains cable is damaged
⋅ There is any suspicion of a fault after dropping the appliance or similar.
In such cases, send the appliance to be repaired.
▪ When inserting the toast, ensure that the bread slices do not get jammed. However, should this
happen, first pull the power plug and then remove the interference.
▪ Do not reach into the bread slots with your fingers or objects, such as forks, knives, etc.
▪ Only operate the toaster in the upright position away from other objects.
▪ Do not cover the bread slot during toasting. Do not lay any bread slices or rolls on the casing, as
this causes the device to overheat.
No liability is assumed for any damages in cases of misuse, improper operation or unprofessional
repairs. Claims under warranty are likewise excluded in such cases.
Danger of suffocation!
Do not allow children to play with packaging materials.
Use
This toaster is suitable for slices of bread (up to a size of 9 x 9 cm), braided rolls and similar baked
goods with a maximum thickness of 2.6 cm. Do not use it for baked goods with fillings or spreads, e.g.
butter or jam.
Start-up
The section of the power cable not in use can be wound up and stored on the base of the appliance.
Connect the power plug to a shockproof socket.
Prior to first use, carry out at least one toasting cycle without bread and at maximum power, to
remove the surface protection on the heating elements. The smell released during this process
is harmless, but you should ensure good ventilation nevertheless. Always allow the appliance to
cool down a little before switching it on.
Insert the bread slices into the bread slots. The slices should not be thicker than 2.6 cm so that they
do not jam. Place small slices next to one another in an upright position in the bread slot so that it
is easier to take them out after toasting. First set the control knob for the degree of browning to the
middle level. Press the lift button down. The device switches on and the bread lift is held until the
toasting time expires. The device then switches off automatically and the finished toast is raised from
the bread slot for removal.
Notes on the browning level
If the toast is too light in colour, select a higher browning level. If it is too dark, set the control knob
to a lower level. The figures 1 to 7 serve only for orientation purposes. The higher the setting, the
darker the browning level.
The toasting result may vary at the same setting depending on the type, size, moisture and thickness
of the bread slices. Therefore, select a lower setting when toasting less moist bread, smaller slices or
only one slice.
When toasting only one slice, the browning level on the side facing inwards will be slightly more
intensive.
Acrylamide is generated during excessive browning. Excessive browning of the toast should
therefore be avoided.

Interrupting the toasting process
Press the illuminated button to interrupt the toasting process.
Warming / retoasting
If the warming button is pressed immediately after switching on the appliance, cold but already
toasted bread will be crisped up and too lightly toasted bread will be slightly retoasted.
Defrosting
If this button is pressed directly after the appliance is switched on, the toasting cycle will be
extended automatically to toast frozen bread.
Bread roll attachment
The toaster is fitted with an integrated roll attachment, which can be used by pressing the button
downwards. One roll can be baked from both sides, each on the minimum setting. Rolls which are too
dry should be moistened slightly beforehand - it works better this way.
Crumb tray
Crumbs produced during toasting are collected in the crumb tray.
You can then pull the tray out of the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow the appliance to cool down. Use a
hard brush to remove crumbs sticking to the grids and the heater. Do not tilt the appliance while you
do this, or crumbs will spill from the crumb tray into the inside of the toaster. Then pull out the crumb
tray, clean it and reinsert.
Never immerse the toaster in water. Wipe the outside of the appliance only with a damp cloth and
some washing-up liquid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. Do not clean with oven/grill
spray. Do not use a steam cleaner.
