CAUTION: the bread carriage handle will not stay down if the appliance is not plugged in!

BEFORE USING THE TOASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME

In order to eliminate any manufacturing residues, operate the toaster a couple of times without bread with the browning control selector on a medium power level. Some smoke might escape.

OPERATION

• Before using your appliance for the first time, check if it is clean (see "Maintenance and cleaning") as it comes into direct contact with bread. Check if any object has fallen into the slot.
• Connect the appliance only to a mains earthed wall socket.
• Place the bread slices in the slot (for the French bread, cut a loaf shorter than the slot, then cut it in two pieces along its length.). Your appliance is provided to receive French bread, but also pieces of toast or other bread slices if their thickness and their length are shorter than the one of the slot.
• Press down the bread carriage handle until it stops (in the same time, the grid inside the slot will tighten around the bread in order to keep it away from the heating wires). Then release the pressure and the handle will stay in the lower position, which means that the heating process has begun. If the handle comes up immediately, check if the appliance is plugged in as it blocks when the unit is plugged in.
• You can adjust the browning intensity to obtain a more or less toasted bread by positioning the browning control selector to one of the degrees marked from 1 to 7. Therefore you only have to turn clockwise to increase the intensity, and anticlockwise to decrease it. The higher the number is, the more toasted the bread will be.
• During the functioning, if you think that the bread is toasted enough or for another reason, you can break the heating process, simply by pressing the cancel button (STOP).
• The reheat button (###) allows you to reheat already toasted bread or to toast bread which is not toasted enough during a short time without modifying the browning degree.
  • The defrost button (*) allows you to toast the bread that has been frozen beforehand.
  • Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before handling or storing it.
• A cord winder is foreseen on the bottom of the appliance: hooks. When you store your appliance, wind the cord around the hooks.

RACK FOR BUN WARMING (Cf. page 4)

Your appliance is provided with a rack for bun warming. To install the rack, bend its feet downwards and fold them outwards till they block and come to stand perpendicularly towards the upper part of the rack. Then put the rack on the slots of the toaster. To store the rack, proceed inversely.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Before attempting any cleaning operation, make sure the toaster is unplugged from the supply socket and fully cooled down.
  • To remove bread crumbs slide the crumb tray situated on the side of the appliance.
• Caution! It is very important to empty the crumb tray regularly. Crumbs that have accumulated in the toaster might burn and the appliance might catch fire.
  • Never use sharp objects to clean. Doing so could damage the appliance.
• To clean the exterior surfaces, simply wipe over with a soft damp cloth. ON NO ACCOUNT MUST THE TOASTER BE IMMERSED IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

- All other maintenance and repair should be performed by a qualified technician. No guarantee claims will be accepted if the appliance has been opened or damaged previously.
