Do not make any technical adjustments to the machine, as this can be very dangerous. WARNING!! DANGER OF BURNS: The surface around the toaster slots becomes very hot when in use. Use handles or knobs or oven mitts to handle the toaster: especially the grill and tongs. Given the different international norms and laws, should the toaster be used in a country that is not the same as the one it was purchased in, we recommend that you take it to an authorised dealer to be examined. Ensure that the electric socket conforms to current regulations and that it be compatible with the toaster’s wattage. Always plug toaster into a plug that is connected to an earthing system. Use extension cables in good conditions with an earthing system plug and a cable that is the same width and length as the one that is provided with the toaster. The toaster must always stand vertically, not on its side, tilted or upside down. Before each use ensure that the crumb tray is in its slot. If the toaster is not functioning properly disconnect it. If you find pieces of bread in the grill after toasting, unplug the toaster and allow the machine to cool down before removing the residual pieces of bread.

Do not use the toaster as a heater or for drying things. Your toaster is made of different materials that can be recycled. It comes with a short cable so that it will not get tangled up with things or people or other longer cables. Long removable cables and extension cables are available and can be used only if the strict safety rules recommended by authorised electricians are respected. Do not use adapters or reducers. Should a long cable or extension cable be used, they must have the following characteristics:14 15

• have the same technical characteristics in terms of electrical properties as the toaster as specified on the label that can be found on the bottom of the toaster.

• The extension cable must be with an earth plug and therefore with three wires/poles. In any case a long cable or an extension cord must never protrude from furniture, tables or shelves to avoid being handled or tugged on by children. Do not place the toaster on or next to a hot stove, electric hobs or ovens. Do not use outdoors. Do not leave cables dangling from tables or counters or allow them to touch hot surfaces. Do not handle the toaster if the cable or plug are damaged or after it has malfunctioned or been damaged in any way. The surfaces near the toast slots become very hot when in use. For a proper use of the toaster, place it on a level surface, in a well-lit and clean environment with easy access to a socket. Keep the toaster at least 10 cm away from any walls. Never touch, for any reason, the toaster with wet or damp hands or with a damp or wet cloth. Always unplug the toaster when not in use or before cleaning it. FIRE WARNING!!

1. After removing the toaster from the packaging, ensure that it is in perfect

condition and carefully check that no materials, pieces of packaging, warranty papers and similar have fallen into the toast slots during transportation and the opening the package. The plastic bag must be kept away from children: if ingested it can cause suffocation. To remove any dust that might have collected on the toaster simply wipe with a soft dry cloth. After having checked the above-mentioned precautionary measures and after having scrupulously followed safety norms, proceed to plug in.

2. Follow safety regulations scrupulously when plugging in the toaster. The

toaster must be connected with the cable to a socket where the voltage is the same as indicated on the label on the bottom of the toaster. Ensure that you have earth grounding. Never using defective or damaged cables. Use extension cord only after you have ascertained that it is in perfect condition. Never place plugged in parts in water or near water: it can short circuit!! Scrupulously follow all and each of the above-mentioned safety norms. The toaster can give off a pungent smell or produce a little smoke the first time it is used: use once or twice without bread to eliminate the smell and possible residue. This is the normal consequence of the production process. The smell and light smoke are harmless and innocuous and will go away after the toaster has been used. Instructions and recommendations for use: Do not toast food that drips during toasting/cooking: not only does this make cleaning the toaster difficult; it can cause fires or electric shocks. It is of utmost importance that before each use the crumb tray be free of crumbs and possible drops of liquid. You cannot place pieces of bread that are larger than the slots in the slots. Do not insert aluminium or tin foil or kitchen utensils in the slots as this can cause people severe bodily harm, electric shocks and accidents. Do not use the toaster without the crumb tray, which must always be positioned correctly. After use, always unplug the toaster and empty the crumb tray and follow cleaning and maintenance instructions. You must use tongs with this toaster, in other words do not insert the bread without tongs. Toasting functions:

1. Insert bread slices with tongs into the slots.

2. Choose your desired setting: the toaster has a selection of settings from 1-9.

A higher number indicates a higher degree/longer toasting time. You may change the setting while toasting, even if it would be preferable to press the stop button and re-start the process. Depending on the new setting chosen the toasting process will be longer/shorter or come to a stop. Toasting starts with the position / number 1.

3. Pull down the lever that is on the side of the toaster. Only then will the

toasting begin and the led lights will come on. (the stop light will also come on). As time passes, the lights will go out slowly thus indicating the time left for completion of the toasting process. The speed at which the lights go out will depend on the time set.

4. Once the bread is toasted, the side lever will come and the lights will go out.

5. If you want to interrupt the toasting process simply press the stop button,

which stays on for the entire toasting process. The timer/selector does not move as time passes: that is what the led lights are for. Example: select setting 5, this number does not decrease; even once the bread is toasted the setting will remain at 5. Always unplug the cable when you have finished using the toaster!16 17 Defrosting: Defrosting will lengthen cooking time to allow the slices of bread to defrost before being toasted.

1. Put the frozen slices of bread with tongs in the slots.

2. Select the degree of toasting desired and pull down the lever. You can only

insert the defrost function once the lever is down. A blue light on the defrost button will light up.
