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 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.
