BEFORE FIRST USE

Operate the toaster a couple of times, without bread, at the maximum temperature (setting 7). This will remove the last traces from the manufacturing process. A little smoke and odour may be emitted by the toaster when it is used for the first time.

USE

1. Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface.
2. Put the plug into the wall socket.

USE - Toasting bread

1. Set the toasting time with the adjustment dial.

2. The toasting time is shortest when the dial is set to the lowest position (1).

3. The toasting time is longest when the dial is set to the highest position (7).
   In the event of doubt, always begin at a lower setting.
4. Older bread will need to be toasted at a lower setting than fresh bread.

5. Brown bread will need to be toasted at a higher setting than white bread.

6. Put a slice of bread on the toaster's bread carriage.

7. Lower the bread carriage by pressing the lever until the lever locks into place. The indicator light on the 'cancel' button lights up. The appliance will now start toasting the bread; it will automatically switch off once the toast is ready. The bread carriage will then rise automatically.

8. Remove the toast from the toaster.
9. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
10. Allow the toaster to cool down before storing it. Wrap the power cord around the lugs on the toaster's base.

You can stop the toaster at any time you require. Press the 'Cancel' to stop the toaster.
