ABOUT THIS TOASTER

Simple and user-friendly appliance, this toaster is also a great focal point in the kitchen thanks to its modern and aracve design, with chrome nish.
Using the variable browning control, start the day with a perfect toast, just the way you like it. The slots will adjust automatically to the bread for even toasted slices, whether thick or thin. The special defrost funcon allows to use bread directly out of the freezer, for even more convenience. To keep your toaster clean, the crumb tray is easily removable and the non-skid rubber feet mean your toaster will also sit neat and dy on your worktop.
CAUTION: do not toast sandwiches or buered items, as the lling or spread may burn.
NOTE: for even browning, we recommend to wait approx. 30 seconds between each use, so that the selected toasng level can reset automatically.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Set the toaster on a steady, dry and level surface.
o Remove any packaging material or promoonal labels.
Fully unwind the power cord before use.
When turning on the toaster for the rst me, you may noce a smell or light smoke that tend to be given o when an appliance is new. This does not aect its safety. Ensure the room is well venlated. Operate the toaster without bread in it at least three mes at the highest toasng level and let it cool down.
○ Ensure the crumbs tray is inserted.

Put bread into the toasng slots (1).
Plug the power cord (7) into the outlet.
Turn the browning control knob (5) to the required seng (1 = light, 7 = dark). The rst me the toaster is used, we recommend that its control is set to number 4 (golden) and then adjusted in the following me to suit your personal taste.
Press the push-down/start lever (3) down un it engages and the appliance will begin toasng at once.

Note: If the toaster starts to smoke, end the toasng process prematurely while pressing the STOP buon (c). Never li the push-down/start lever (3) to interrupt toasng.
The toaster turns o when the desired toast browning is achieved and automatically raises the toast out of the toasng slots. You can also upli the lever (3) a lile to remove the bread readily.
To toast frozen bread,place the bread into the bread slots (1),select the desired browning seng and press the push down/start lever (3) down and lock into posion, then press the DEFROST buon (a).The toasng me will be altered automatally to give the same degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.
To reheat, place plain toasts into the bread slots, press the push down/start lever (3) down to lock into posion, then press the REHEAT buon (b) to warm up the slices.

HINTS AND TIPS

If a single slice of bread is inserted in the toaster, the usual browning seng needs to be reduced to avoid the toast burning.
Dierent types of bread require a dierent seng: old or thin bread browns faster than ordinary bread (just like sweet bread products, e.g. fruit loaf, cake), and should be toasted on a lighter seng.
If toasng large quanes, the browning will gradually get darker (See NOTE in sub-secon "About this toaster").

- Wipe the outside with so damp cloth; Do not use strong or abrasive cleaning agents that may scratch or damage the chrome coang of the appliance.
○ Remove the crumb tray (8) by grasping its handle (9) and wipe it clean. If the toaster is used frequently, the accumulated bread crumbs should be removed at least once a week. Replace the crumb tray before using the toaster again.
