Therefore, these factors shall be ensured by the user/s using and operating this appliance. We are not liable for damages caused during shipping, by incorrect use, voltage fluctuation or the modification or adjustment of any part of the appliance.

To protect against a risk of fire or electric shock, basic precautions shall be taken while using electrical appliances, including the following:

GB

1. Make sure the voltage in your outlet corresponds to the voltage provided on the appliance label and that the socket is properly grounded. The outlet must be installed in accordance with applicable electrical codes according to EN.
2. Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord. All repairs including cord replacements shall be performed by a professional service centre! Do not remove protective covers of the appliance, risk of electric shock!
3. Protect the appliance against direct contact with water and other liquids, to prevent potential electric shock.
4. Do not leave the toaster running unattended. Avoid touching the metal parts or hot surfaces when using the appliance. Touch only the switches of the "On", buttons and the control knob to avoid burns.
5. Leaving the toaster cord connected to outlet unattended is not recommended. Disconnect the cord from the electrical outlet prior to performing maintenance. Do not pull the cord from the outlet by yanking the cord. Unplug the cord from the outlet by grasping the plug.
6. Do not use the toaster outdoors or in moist environments. Do not touch the cord or toaster with wet hands. Risk of electric shock.
7. Close supervision is necessary for operating the toaster near children!

GB

1. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces or lead the cord over sharp edges.
2. Bread products inside the toaster can catch fire. Do not use the appliance near or under inflammable objects (for example around curtains). The temperature of surfaces near the operating appliance can be hotter than usual. Place the toaster out of reach of other objects to ensure sufficient air circulation needed for its proper operation. Do not cover the toasting slots.
3. Do not insert oversized bread slices or irregularly sliced bread which could jam the toaster mechanism. Should the bread become stuck in the toaster, do not use metal kitchen utensils (spoon, knife...), which could cause a short circuit, to remove the bread.
4. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the metal covers with solid objects, or not to hit the appliance on a sharp edge.
5. Keep the toaster away from hot surfaces and sources of heat (for example, hot plates).
6. Placing slices of bread directly on the toaster cover or slot can lead to damaging the toaster! Do not toast bread that can melt (with topping) or leak into the toaster and do not toast small pieces of bread or heels as this can cause damage or fire.
7. The toaster cannot be used if tilted or turned on its side.
8. Do not put your fingers or any metal objects into the toaster slots.
9. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed to use the appliance in a safe way and understand the potential dangers.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Toasting bread

The first use of the appliance can be accompanied by a slight odour or smoke. The odour can be caused by greases that became stuck to the heating unit during production and are now brining. Before you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the appliance complete at least 4 to 5asting cycles without slices of bread (sufficient room ventilation should be secured throughout this interval).

1. After plugging the device into the outlet, turn the control and select the desired browning setting. You can choose up to 7 various browning settings: 1 = lightly toasted to 7 = darkly toasted. It is recommended to set level 3 for the first use.
2. Insert a slice of bread and push the "ON lever" ④ all the way down so that the slice of bread is inside the toaster. The slice of bread is automatically centered inside the toaster.
3. To adjust the browning setting during toasting, move the browning setting slide to another setting. Adjusting the browning setting does not change the duration of toasting bread. The toaster automatically switches off after the time set has lapsed. The slices of bread pop up from the toaster.
4. For toasting frozen bread taken directly from the freezer, insert the bread into the toasting slot and select the desired browning setting. Push down the toaster lever and then press the Defrost button. The Defrost indicator light will go on.
5. For reheating bread that was already toasted once before, insert the bread into the toasting slot and select the desired browning setting. Push down the toaster lever and then press the Reheat button. The Reheat indicator light will go on.
6. The Cancel button can be used at any time during the toasting process, e.g. if the bread is too dark or if the toasting process fails.

What you need to know about slices of bread?

Type of bread, its moistness, content, age, thickness and number of heels. All of this affects the browning setting. If you intend to toast two slices of bread next to each other, they should be of the same type, same degree of moistness and of the same age (bread shall be kept in an enclosed package). Always keep sliced bread, intended forasting purposes, in a dry area.

The overall thickness of bread slices should not exceed 2.5cm

Any type of bread, small loafs and baked goods without toppings can be used in the toaster, including frozen baked goods. In general, darker types of bread should be toasted at a higher browning setting than lighter types. To obtain an especially light loaf of bread, spray it lightly with water prior toasting.

Very thin slices will not be centred automatically and should be toasted at a lower browning setting to prevent one side of the bread from becoming burnt.

CLEANING

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Slide the crumb tray out of the appliance and empty it. Clean the crumb tray regularly, use a scratch brush to remove burnt crumbs. Clean the outer surface of the toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the toaster. Do not immerse the toaster into water or use a dish washer to clean the appliance.
