B. Preparing for use

Always use the appliance on a dry, level surface. Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in or where it could touch a heated oven, or a microwave oven. Before using the toaster, check that there are no objects in the slots Before using the toaster for the first time, switch it on two or three times without any bread in the slots, as described below, setting the browning selector to its highest position, in order to eliminate any residual manufacturing oil. C. Types of bread Sliced bread is the most suitable for use in this toaster. If you wish to use another type of bread, please bear in mind the following advice:

• Cut the bread into regular-shaped slices of even thickness.
• Do not toast different types of bread or slices of different thicknesses at the same time.
• Mixed cereal bread usually takes longer to toast than normal bread.
• Do not spread butter, oil or similar on the bread before toasting. D. Selecting the level of browning The browning level can be set from 1 to 5. The higher the number, the browner the toast will be.
• Positions 1 and 2 are for browning the toast the very lightly.
• Positions 3 and 4 are for medium browning.

• Position 5 is for dark browning.
• When choosing the browning level, remember that dry bread and thin slices toast quicker than fresh bread and thicker slices. So the browning selection will depend on the type of bread, the quality of the bread and the thickness of the slices.
• The browning level must be selected before switching the toaster on.
