BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove and discard any packaging material and tape from the unit. Some stickers are to be permanently kept on the unit, ONLY remove stickers with ‘peel here’.
2. Remove all accessories from the box and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
3. Separate the panini press from the grill tray following the instructions listed in the Converting the Panini Press into a Grill tray section. Then wash the panini press and grill tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
4. We recommend placing the grill tray inside the toaster and running it on GRILL HIGH for minutes without adding food. Refer to section below FLIPPING TO GRILL POSITION for how to use the toaster on GRILL mode. Make sure the area is well ventilated. This removes any packaging residue and odour traces that may be present. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster.

NOTE: For longest life, we recommend hand-washing the accessories.

For best results, remove the panini press from the grill tray and wash separately

TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR SHADE SELECTION

• With multiple slices, place next to each other. Make sure there is no overlap of the slices so they can toast consistently. If bread slices do not fit next to each other, try rotating them sideways for a better fit.
• For drier or stale breads, adjust the shade lower than your standard setting.
• For freshly baked or whole wheat breads, adjust the shade higher than your standard setting.
• Sweet or fruit bread (fruit loaf, tea cakes) toast much quicker, adjust the shade setting lower.
• For breads with an uneven surface (like English muffins), adjust the shade higher than your standard setting. Be sure to slice bread evenly for consistent toasting.
• For thick-cut pieces, adjust the shade higher than your standard setting. Be sure to slice bread evenly for consistent toasting.
• Split bagels in half before toasting. Place the cut side facing you.
• For frozen waffles, frozen French toast or frozen bagels ensure you also press the Defrost button to add extra time.
• Be aware that very thin slices may burn. Use the lowest shade selection and monitor while toasting

2. Empty the crumb tray by partly sliding it out of the unit when the unit is in the vertical position. Wipe crumbs off and fully insert back into the unit.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the main unit and the control panel. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Apply the cleanser to the cloth, not the unit surface, before cleaning.

POWER CORD MANAGEMENT

Our cord management system is designed so it will not interfere with the toaster’s flip functionality.

Option 1: Socket on the right. Place the cord in the left hook on the back of the toaster. Twist the cord so the wide side is horizontal in order to securely fasten the cord in the hook.

Option 2: Socket on the left or behind the toaster. Place the cord in both hooks on the back of the toaster. Twist the cord so the wide side is horizontal in order to securely fasten the cord in the hooks.
