Frequently Asked Questions - AT2586 SEVERIN

How do I adjust the browning level?

Turn the rotary dial to your desired setting (1 for light, 6 for dark). For even results, use the same bread thickness.

Can I toast frozen bread?

Yes, use the Defrost function. Insert frozen bread, press the defrost button, and select browning level. The toaster will adjust toasting time.

How do I reheat already toasted bread?

Use the Reheat function. Insert the toast, press the reheat button, and it will warm without further browning.

How do I clean the toaster?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the crumb tray from the bottom and empty it. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.

Why does the toaster stop working mid-cycle?

The toaster has an auto shut-off feature for safety. If it stops, check if the bread is jammed. Unplug, let it cool, and remove any obstruction.

What sizes of bread fit?

The slots accommodate standard sliced bread up to 2.5 cm thick. For larger or uneven pieces, use the cancel button to stop if stuck.

Where can I find spare parts?

Important safety instructions

● To protect the housing from damage, do not position or operate the toaster on or near hot surfaces (eg oven plates), open flames or inflammable vapours.
● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
● Electric heating appliances operate at very high temperatures. Caution: burns

can occur from touching the hot parts of the toaster.

- Place the toaster on a heat-resistant surface.

- There is always a danger that bread may catch fire, e.g. if it is toasted more than once or comes into contact with the heating elements. Therefore ensure that the appliance is not positioned or operated in close proximity to curtains or any such inflammable materials. Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.

- Do not try to remove bread from the toaster with your fingers or to insert any other objects (eg knives, forks) into the toast slot. The heating elements carry a live current.

- Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces.

● Always remove the plug from the wall socket after use, and also

- in case of any malfunction and - during cleaning.

- When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. Do not let the power cord hang free.

● The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system

- No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.

- In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs to electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Operation

General Information

• Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the browning control to a higher setting than for toasting white bread.
• Do not use slices which are too thick or too big. They can get stuck in the toaster. The thickness of the slices for toasting should not exceed 14 mm.

- In case of problems or malfunctions and before cleaning, always remove the plug from the wall socket

- To remove a slice caught in the slot, use a blunt wooden stick (eg a brush handle). Never touch the metal heating elements.

- Variations in bread type, humidity content and thickness of the slices result in different degrees of browning. The bread should therefore be kept in a sealed wrapping.

Before using for the first time

Clean the toaster thoroughly (see General Care and Cleaning).

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 the toasting cycles.

Please note: the main lever locks down only when the plug is inserted.

When switching on the appliance for the first time, the toaster may emit a slight smell (and possibly a little smoke), which will disappear after a short while.

Please ensure sufficient ventilation.

Adjusting the degree of browning

The desired degree of browning is infinitely adjustable by turning the browning control knob.

Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise.

Dark: turn the control knob clockwise.

Operation

- After adjusting the degree of browning, insert the bread into the toast slot and

press the operating lever down.

• Once the desired degree of browning is reached, the toaster will switch off automatically and the slices are ejected and can be removed.
• To achieve regular browning when toasting several slices in succession, allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90 seconds after each cycle.
• Do not cover the toast slot during operation.

Warming up buns, rolls etc

• To warm up buns, rolls or other bakery items, push the slide control towards the toast slot to raise the bread roll holder.
• Place the items to be warmed up on the holder, adjust the browning control to a medium setting and then push down the operating lever to switch on the toaster.
• Once the browning cycle is complete and the appliance has automatically switched off, turn the roll or bread over and repeat the cycle.
• After use, return the bread roll holder to the rest position by pushing the slide control back.
• Do not place the items directly on the toast slot.

Interrupting the toasting cycle

If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle, push the operating lever upwards.

Power cord storage

Unwind the power cord completely before operation and make sure it is kept well away from the appliance. Allow for a sufficient cooling-down period before winding up the power cord after use.

General Care and Cleaning

● Before cleaning the toaster, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the toaster with water and do not immerse it in water.

- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

- The exterior may be wiped with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.

Crumb tray

- During use, any bread crumbs falling down are collected in the crumb tray. To remove the crumbs, pull the tray out sideways and empty it.

Disposal

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
