for domestic use only. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by the improper use of this
appliance.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Toasting bread
The fi rst use of the appliance can be accompanied by a slight odour or smoke. The odour can be caused by
greases that became stuck to the heating unit during production and are now brining. Before you use the
appliance for the fi rst time, we advise you to let the appliance complete at least 4 to 5 toasting cycles without
slices of bread (suffi cient room ventilation should be secured throughout this interval).
1. After plugging the device into the outlet, turn the control and select the desired browning setting. You
can choose up to 7 various browning settings: 1 = lightly toasted to 7 = darkly toasted. It is recommended
to set level 3 for the fi rst use.
2. Insert a slice of bread and push the ON lever all the way down so that the slice of bread is inside the
toaster, the ON lever will return to its initial position. The slice of bread is automatically centered inside
the toaster.
3. To adjust the browning setting during toasting, move the browning setting slide to another setting.
Adjusting the browning setting does not change the duration of toasting bread. The toaster automatically
switches off after the time set has lapsed. The slices of bread pop up from the toaster.
4. For toasting frozen bread taken directly from the freezer, insert the bread into the toasting slot and
select the desired browning setting. Push down the toaster lever and then press the Defrost button. The
Defrost indicator light will go on.
5. For reheating bread that was already toasted once before, insert the bread into the toasting slot and
select the desired browning setting. Push down the toaster lever and then press the Reheat button. The
Reheat indicator light will go on.
6. The Cancel button can be used at any time during the toasting process, e.g. if the bread is too dark or if
the toasting process fails.
Crisp rolls and bread
Set the grill for crisp rolls on top of the toaster and place a roll on the grill. Turn the browning setting slide
to the desired position and press the toasting lever down. The crisp process will begin. The toaster will
automatically turn off after the time set lapses. Press the Cancel button to terminate the crisp progress
prematurely.
Always wait until the grill has completely cooled down prior to removing the crisp grill!
What you need to know about slices of bread?
Type of bread, its moistness, content, age, thickness and number of heels. All of this aff ects the browning
setting. If you intend to toast two slices of bread next to each other, they should be of the same type, same
degree of moistness and of the same age (bread shall be kept in an enclosed package). Always keep sliced
bread, intended for toasting purposes, in a dry area.
The overall thickness of bread slices should not exceed 2.5 cm.
Any type of bread, small loafs and baked goods without toppings can be used in the toaster, including frozen
baked goods. In general, darker types of bread should be toasted at a higher browning setting than lighter
types. To obtain an especially light loaf of bread, spray it lightly with water prior to toasting. Rolls should be
turned one or twice during the crisp process.
Very thin slices will not be centred automatically and should be toasted at a lower browning setting to
prevent one side of the bread from becoming burnt.
CLEANING
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Slide the crumb tray out of the appliance and
