OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

1. Place the toaster on aflat, dry and stable surface well away from

combustible material surfaces as specified in the Safety Instructions

section.

2. Unwind the power cord completely and connect the toaster to apower

socket.

3. Make sure the crumb tray is inserted correctly.

4. Insert aslice of toast bread, aslice of regular bread, half abun or bagel,

etc. into each slot. The slices of bread must not be too thick to avoid

getting stuck in the slots and should not protrude from the toaster

when the control lever is in the down position.

Caution:

Do not put bread covered with butter, margarine, etc.

in the toaster.

Note:

The toaster is equipped with 4 openings. You can

toast 4 pieces of bread at the same time or separately

in pairs. Thanks to dual controls, you can set

individual level of toasting for each pair.

5. Use the rotary control to adjust the toasting intensity from 1 to 7, where

setting 1 is the lightest toasting intensity and 7 is the darkest toasting

intensity. For the first use, we recommend setting the toasting intensity

to level 3. You can adjust the toasting intensity according to your

personal preferences. The toasting intensity cannot be changed during

the toasting process.

6. Put the toaster into operation by pushing down the control lever. After

the lever is secured inthe lower position, the toasting process will start

automatically.

Note:

If the toaster is not connected to apower socket, the

lever will not be locked in the down position andthus

will not be started.

7. During the toasting process, you can check the state of toasting by

lifting the control lever upwards. If necessary, you can cancel the

toasting process by pressing CANCEL.

8. The toaster will automatically turn off andeject the inserted bread as

soon as the toasting process is completed. Remove the bread from the

toaster and repeat the above procedure to toast the other bread.

Note:

To remove smaller pieces of bread, lift the control

lever all the way up.

Caution:

Never attempt to take out ajammed piece of bread

or any other bread product using aknife or another

metal object. This could lead to injury by electrical

shock or damage the appliance. If the bread is

blocked inside the toaster, turn it off, disconnect it

from the power socket andlet it cool down. Then

carefully remove the bread.

Note:

For the next toasting, the toaster is already heated,

so we recommend setting the toasting intensity to

alower level.

• After use, unplug the toaster from the power outlet and let it cool

down.

Bread Heating Function

• This function allows you to heat the bread without further toasting.

• Insert the bread into the slots and press the control lever down until

it locks in the lower position. Press the REHEAT button. The button

will light up.

• The toaster automatically switches off and ejects the inserted bread

once the heating process is complete. Remove the bread from the

toaster and repeat the above procedure to heat the other breads.

Note:

The heating time is preset from the factory and

cannot be adjusted. If you need to cancel the heating

process, press the CANCEL button.

Frozen Bread Toasting Function

• Insert the frozen bread into the slots, set the desired degree of toasting

and press the control lever down until it locks in the lower position.

Press the DEFROST button. The button will light up.

• The toaster will automatically turn off andeject the inserted bread as

soon as the toasting process is completed. Remove the bread from the

toaster and repeat the above procedure to toast the frozen bread.

Note:

If you need to cancel the toasting process of the

frozen bread, press the CANCEL button.

Caution:

The toasting function for frozen bread and the heating

function for bread cannot be selected at the same

time.

Attachment for toasting buns

• Place the attachment on the toaster as shown in Figure Aand place

the bread (small baguette, roll or bun) you want to toast on it. Adjust

the low toasting intensity between 1 and 3 and press the control lever

down until it locks in the lower position. The toasting process starts

automatically.

• Wait for the toasting process to end automatically, or press the

CANCEL button to stop the operation immediately if the bread is

already baked sufficiently. If the bread is not baked sufficiently even

after the end of operation, repeat the toasting process.

• When removing the bread from the attachment, be very careful not to

touch the hot parts.

Tips andTricks toSet the Toasting Intensity

• Toasting is atwo-step process. The first phase evaporates the

moisture from the bread and the second phase toasts it.

• The toasting level depends on the type, size andfreshness of the

bread.

• Fresh bread will be toasted longer, because the moisture contained

init must first evaporate andonly then it begins to be toasted.

Therefore, it requires setting ahigher level of toasting intensity.

Wholemeal bread, thicker slices of bread, sliced buns and baguettes

also require ahigher toasting setting.

• Older bread, which does not contain as much moisture as fresh bread,

will toast for ashorter time and therefore requires alower than normal

toasting intensity setting.

• Smaller and weaker slices of bread will toast faster than larger and

thicker slices of bread.

• If you are toasting only one slice of bread, set alower toasting level

than if you are toasting two slices at the same time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean the toaster after each use. Before cleaning, make sure that it is

unplugged from the power outlet and that it is cool.

• Slide the crumb tray out of the toaster and remove the crumbs, wipe

it with aclean, dry cloth and put it back in place. Clean the crumb

tray after each use of the toaster. Make sure that crumbs do not

accumulate in it. Otherwise, they could burst into flames.

• To remove crumbs from the inner compartment, turn the toaster

upside down and carefully shake out the crumbs above the rubbish

bin.

• Wipe the outer surface of the toaster with adry or slightly damp cloth

and then wipe it dry. Make sure that no water or moisture leaks into

the inside of the toaster.

• Do not use cleaning products causing abrasion, petrol or solvents for

cleaning.

• To prevent potential injury by electric shock, do not submerge this

appliance or its power cord under water or any other liquid.
