How many slices of bread can I toast at once?

You can toast one slice per rack, i.e. two slices total. Only insert one slice per rack to avoid risks.

How to adjust the browning level?

Use the rotary timer: from position 1 (lightest) to 5 (darkest). If in doubt, start with a low setting.

The appliance stops automatically at the end of the cycle. If the bread burns before, unplug immediately and remove the racks. Never leave the appliance unattended.
