Frequently Asked Questions - TA 8680 GRUNDIG

Why is there smoke during first use?

During initial startup, production residues may burn and emit smoke. This is normal, and it is advised to run the appliance empty once on the medium setting before inserting bread.

How to clean the toaster?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Empty the crumb tray regularly. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water.

What to do if a slice of bread gets stuck?

First press the stop button to turn off the appliance, then unplug it. Allow it to cool completely before carefully removing the bread without using a metal object to avoid risk of electric shock.

How to use the defrost function?

Place frozen bread in the slots, then press the Defrost button. The indicator lights up and the toasting cycle is extended to defrost and toast simultaneously.

How to reheat already toasted bread?

Press the Reheat button after placing the bread in the slots. The toaster reheats the bread without further browning.

Can you toast rolls?

Yes, use the reheating rack provided for this purpose. Place the rolls on the rack and press the Heating button. Do not put them directly in the slots.

How to adjust the browning level?

Use the digital control +/- to choose from 7 levels. Level 1 is the lightest, level 7 the darkest. Adjust according to your preference and bread type.

Why does the start lever not stay down?

The lever only engages if the power plug is connected. Check the mains connection and that the appliance is powered on.

How to wind the power cord?

Under the toaster there is a cord winder. Wind the cord around it for convenient storage.

Which foods not to toast?

OPERATION

Preparation

Note

• When using the appliance for the first time, smoke can develop due to production residues. However, this does not mean that the appliance is defective. The first time you switch it on, use the appliance as you normally would but without bread. It is recommended to use the medium setting of the +/- digital heat control. Ensure sufficient room ventilation.

Toasting

Notes

• Sliding the +/- digital heat control J to 1 will give the lightest degree of browning and sliding it to 7 the darkest. The browning degree can vary depending on the type of bread.
• When toasting several slices of bread consecutively, the toaster will become hotter and thus the bread will gradually become darker. Therefore select an appropriate browning degree. Let the toaster cool down after each toasting process for a minimum of 30 seconds. The degree of browning for a single slice will be darker than for two slices, although the +/- digital heat control J is set to the same level. If the power plug is not connected into the wall socket, the start lever K does not snap into place. The degree of browning can also be adjusted during the toasting process with +/- digital heat control J. To cancel the toasting process before it has finished, press the stop button H. The start lever K springs back up and the toast slices can be taken out of the toaster.

Caution

• Be very careful when taking the toast slices out of the toaster as the metal parts of the toaster and also the bread can become very hot.

Note

If toast slices get stuck in the toaster, switch the toaster off immediately by pressing the stop button H. Pull the power plug out of the wall socket. Let the toaster cool down completely. Carefully try to take the bread out of the toaster without damaging the sensitive heating elements and other parts. Do not use any electroconductive objects to remove the bread from the toaster.

Toasting frozen bread

1 Press the defrost button. - The indicator lights of the defrost button I and stop button H illuminate and the toasting process begins.

Note

• When the defrost button is pressed, the toasting process takes longer than the normal toasting.

Warming up already toasted bread

1 Press the reheat button G.

• The indicator lights of the reheat button and stop button H illuminate and the warming up process begins.

One-side heat button

1 Press the one-side heat button F.

• The indicator light of the one side heat button F and stop button H illuminate and the warming up process begins.

Warming up buns

Notes

• Do not toast bread and warm up buns at the same time.
• Do not warm up toast slices on the warming rack. The toast slices hinder sufficient ventilation. If you accidentally activate the wrong mode (defrost instead of reheat or reheat instead of defrost), then the selected mode must be cancelled first by pressing the stop button before you can select the right mode. To stop the warming up process before it has finished press the stop button H.

Caution

The buns and the housing of the toaster can become very hot during and directly after the toasting process. Do not touch them with bare hands.

Cleaning and care

Caution

• Never use petrol, solvents or abrasive cleaners, metal objects or hard brushes to clean the appliance.
• Never put the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquids.
