Important safety instructions ● There is always a danger that bread may catch fire, e.g. if it is toasted more than once or comes into contact with the heating elements. Therefore ensure that the appliance is not positioned or operated in close proximity to curtains or any such inflammable materials. Do not leave the appliance unattended during use. ● In order to prevent damage to the housing, do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces or open flames such as hot-plates or gas flames. ● Caution: the accessible housing surfaces become very hot during operation. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts. ● Always position the appliance on a level heat-resistant surface. ● Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. ● Do not cover the toast slot during operation. ● Do not try to remove bread from the toaster with your fingers or insert any other objects (eg knives, forks) into the toast slot as the heating elements carry a live current. ● Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or any other remote control system or remote control device. ● The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used. ● Do not allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. ● Do not let the power cord hang free. ● Always remove the plug from the wall socket after use, and also - in case of any malfunction, - when fitting or removing the warming top, - when cleaning the appliance. ● When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. ● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ● No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

Toaster ● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. ● In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual. Operation General information

Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the browning control to a higher setting that for toasting white bread.

Do not use slices which are too thick or too big. They can get stuck in the toaster. The thickness of the slices should not exceed 25 mm. ● In case of problems or malfunctions and before cleaning, always remove the plug from the wall socket.

To remove a slice caught in the slot, use a blunt wooden stick (e.g. a brush handle). Never touch the metal heating elements.

Variations in beard type, humidity content and thickness of the slices result in different degrees of browning. The bread should therefore be kept in a sealed wrapping. Before using for the first time Clean the toaster thoroughly (see General Care and Cleaning). Switch on the toaster without any bread inserted and go through at least five toasting cycles at the maximum temperature setting. Allow the toaster to cool down between the toasting cycles. Please note: the operating lever locks down only when the plug is inserted. When switching on the appliance for the first time, the toaster may emit a slight smell and a little smoke, which will disappear after a short while. Please ensure sufficient ventilation. Adjusting the degree of browning The desired degree of browning is infinitely adjustable by turning the browning control knob. Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise. Dark: turn the control knob clockwise. Operation

After adjusting the degree of browning, insert the bread into the toast slot and press the operating lever down.

Once the desired degree of browning is reached, the toaster will switch off automatically and the slices are ejected and can be removed.

To achieve regular browning when toasting several slices in succession, allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90 seconds after each cycle. ● The toasting time may be shortened as a result of fluctuations in the power supply. ● Do not cover the toast slot during operation. Interrupting the toasting cycle If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle, press the stop button. The toaster will switch off and the slices will be ejected. Power cord storage Unwind the power cord completely before operation and make sure it is kept well away from the appliance. Allow for a sufficient cooling-down period before winding up the power cord after use. General Care and Cleaning ● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely. ● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the toaster with water and do not immerse it in water. ● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.

The exterior may be wiped with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. Crumb tray

During use, any bread crumbs falling down are collected in the crumb tray. To remove the crumbs, pull the tray out sideways and empty it.
