Frequently Asked Questions - Smart'N Light KH6418 KRUPS

How do I clean the toaster?

Unplug the toaster and let it cool. Remove the crumb tray, empty it, and wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.

What should I do if toast gets stuck?

Unplug the toaster and let it cool. Use wooden tongs to gently remove the toast. Never use metal objects as they may damage the heating elements.

How do I use the defrost function?

Place frozen bread in the slots, select the desired browning level, then press the Defrost button. The toaster will extend the toasting time to properly thaw and toast the bread.

Can I toast bagels in this toaster?

Yes, this toaster has a Bagel setting if available on your model. Otherwise, you can use the regular setting and manually check the toast. Some models have a dedicated bagel function that toasts the cut side more.

Why does my toast burn even on low settings?

Make sure the browning control is set correctly. If the toaster is used repeatedly without cooling, the internal temperature may rise and cause uneven toasting. Let the toaster cool between uses.

How do I prevent the toaster from smoking?

Clean the crumb tray regularly. Avoid toasting overly moist or buttered bread. If smoking persists, unplug and check for food debris stuck in the slots.

Is the toaster safe to leave unattended?

Do not leave the toaster unattended while in use. Always supervise toasting and unplug after use. The toaster has an auto shut-off feature but should be monitored.

Can I toast gluten-free bread?

Yes, but gluten-free bread tends to toast faster. Use a lower browning setting and watch carefully to avoid burning.

What does the 'Cancel' button do?

The Cancel button immediately stops the toasting cycle and pops up the toast. It is useful if you see the toast is done early or if there is smoke.

How do I change the browning level?

Turn the browning control dial to your desired setting. Lower numbers (1-2) produce lighter toast, higher numbers (5-6) give darker toast. Adjust based on bread type.

BEFORE FIRST USE I

■ Remove all packaging and other accessories inside as well as outside of the appliance (Fig. 1-2). ■ Unwind the cord from under the toaster. Plug the toaster into the wall (Fig. 3). Select the maximum browning setting without inserting any bread, then press the lever down. Repeat the toasting sequence 3 times to remove the “new” smell.

USING THE TOASTER II

• Insert the slices of bread (Fig. 10). Do not use slices which are too large or too thick as that can block the toasting mechanism. ■ Select the desired toasting setting (Fig. 11). For best toasting results, always toast two slices of bread.
• Choose between 7 different degrees of browning by setting the selector to the appropriate position (Fig. 11-12). Position 1 = lightly toasted Position 7 = very well toasted

When using with a new bread, you may have to experiment to find your preferred toasting setting, as the toasting result depends upon the type of bread and the degree of moisture. Therefore, if you have a brand new loaf a higher setting will be needed than when the same loaf loses freshness.

Generally, a higher browning setting is required for darker breads than white breads. When toasting only 1 slice of bread, lower the browning setting for best result.

Bun warmer to warm up rolls, pastries and bagels (please use the setting 1 to reheat).

Caution:

Relatively dry slices of bread, or bread that has already been toasted once, will brown much more quickly and may under certain circumstances catch fire. Therefore, set the heat control to a lower setting and do not leave the toaster unattended.

■ Fully push down the toasting lever, which will then lock into position (Fig. 13). The appliance will begin to operate and the STOP(CANCEL) button will illuminate. The toasting lever will only lock if the toaster is plugged in. ■ After toasting cycle is complete, the toast will automatically be raised (Fig. 14). ■ To make it easier to remove the bread you can lift the toaster lever up (Fig. 15). ■ To stop the toasting cycle, press the STOP(CANCEL) button (Fig. 21).

Note:

Should a slice of bread become trapped in the toasting well, unplug the power cord, let the appliance cool down and then carefully free the toast without touching the heating elements.
