2 Guarantee & service

If you need service or information or if you have a problem, please visit the Philips website at www.philips.com or contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country (you can find its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no Consumer Care Centre in your country, go to your local Philips dealer.

Before first use

Put the toaster in a properly ventilated room and select the highest browning setting. Let the toaster complete a few toasting cycles without bread in it. This burns off any dust and prevents unpleasant smells.

Toast, reheat, or defrost bread (fig.2)

Note:

- Do not operate the appliance without the crumb tray.

To toast bread, follow the steps 1, 2, 3, 4.

- Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread.

- Select a high setting (5-7) for darkly toasted bread.

To reheat bread, press the reheat button (☐).

To defrost bread, press the defrost button (✗).

Note:

• You can stop the toasting process and pop up the bread at any time by pressing the stop button (STOP) on the toaster.
  • The reheat function has a preset duration. The toasting time does not change when you turn the browning control to another setting.

Tip:

- You may use different browning settings when toasting different types of bread:

• For dry, thin or stale bread, select a lower setting. This type of bread has less moisture and it will go brown quicker than moist, thick or fresh bread.
• For fruit bread like raisin bread, select a lower setting.
• For higher sugar content bread, select a lower setting.

• For heavier textured bread like rye bread or whole wheat bread, select a higher setting.

• When you toast one slice of bread, browning of toast may be slightly varied from one side to the other.

• For bread that may have loose food bits, for example raisin bread and whole wheat bread, remove the loose bits before putting bread slices into the slot. This can avoid potential flame/smoke resulting from loose food bits dropping/sticking in the toaster chamber.

Bun warming (fig.3)

To warm buns, follow the steps below:

① Push down the warming rack lever to unfold the warming rack.
② Turn the browning control to the bun warming setting ( 🔒).

Note:

- Never put the rolls to be warmed up directly on top of the toaster. Always use the warming rack to avoid damage to the toaster.

Cleaning (fig.4)

Warning:

- Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids to clean the appliance.
