WARNING! ► Risk of burning if you do not use standard toast bread! Because of the smaller size or shape, there is a risk of touching hot parts when removing the toasted bread. CAUTION - RISK OF FIRE! ► Bakery products can burn! You should therefore NEVER locate the appliance close to or under- neath infl ammable objects, especially not under curtains or suspended cupboards. ► This appliance may not be used in close vicinity to fl ammable material. ► NEVER cover the toaster when it is in use. Tips for use ■ Avoid using slices that are too big or too thick, as these can easily become jammed in the appliance. Should slices of bread become jammed, fi rst disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. Release jammed slices of bread with a blunt wooden object (e.g. a wooden spatula or spoon). Thereby, do NOT touch the heater elements. ■ Diff erences in bread sorts, moisture content and the thickness of individual slices infl uence the browning of the toast. Therefore the bread for toasting should be kept in sealed packaging until required. Always initially try out a lower level of browning. ■ Use a lower level of browning if you are toasting dry bread, as dry bread bro wns faster than fresh bread. ■ Select a higher level of browning for dark bread than for light bread, for

ample, wheat bread. ■ The numbers on the toasting dial 1 are not time indications. The y serve only as a guide for the browning.7 STS 850 A1

■ To avoid an overheating of the toaster and to obtain an even browning of bread, wait for about 15 seconds between two toasting processes. ■ You should only use the highest level on the toasting dial 1 for large slices of dark br ead. With this browning level light bread will scorch and become inedible. In addition, it may cause the generation of smoke. If this occurs, press the button “Stop” 3 immediately and disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket. Setting up
