Frequently Asked Questions - Control Line KH442 KRUPS

How to use the defrost function?

Insert one or two frozen slices of bread, select the desired browning level, lower the lever, then press the defrost button. The DEFROST and STOP buttons light up.

The bread is stuck in the appliance, what should I do?

Unplug the appliance immediately and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the bread, avoiding touching the heating elements with a metal object.

Why is my toaster not working?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that the appliance is powered on. If the problem persists, take the appliance to an authorized KRUPS service center.

How to clean the crumb tray?

Let the appliance cool for at least 10 minutes, unplug it, then press the tray to remove it. Empty the crumbs and wipe with a damp cloth before putting it back. Never use the appliance without the tray.

Which browning level to choose for whole wheat bread?

For whole wheat bread, select a higher browning level (e.g., 4 to 6) because it is denser. For a single slice, choose a lower level to avoid over-toasting.

How to use the bun warmer?

Raise the bun warmer by pressing the corresponding lever, place the pastries on the supports, then lower the lever to start. Do not exceed browning level 2. Never exceed 10 minutes of use.

What to do if smoke comes out of the toaster?

The browning level is probably too high. Immediately press the STOP button to interrupt the cycle and unplug the appliance.

How to store the power cord?

Wrap the cord under the base of the appliance and secure it in the notch provided (see Fig. 1 of the manual). This allows you to adjust the useful length.

Can I toast pastries directly on the toaster?

No, use the bun warmer intended for this purpose. Never place pastries directly on the toaster to warm them.

The appliance emits an odor on first use, is this normal?

Yes, it is recommended to run the appliance empty on level 6 once or twice in a ventilated room to eliminate the new smell.

BEFORE FIRST USE

■Remove all packaging and other accessories inside as well as outside the appliance.

■Unwind the cord from under the toaster (Fig. 1).

Plug the toaster into the wall socket.

Turn the dial to the maximum browning setting without inserting any bread, then press the lever down. Repeat the toasting sequence twice to remove the "new" smell.

USING THE TOASTER

Insert the slices of bread (Fig. 2).

Do not use slices which are too large or too thick, as they must not be allowed to stick in the toasting well.

Select the desired toasting setting (Fig. 3).

- Choose between 6 different degrees of browning by setting the selector to the appropriate position: Position 1 = lightly toasted Position 6 = very well toasted

When first using, try out the toasting setting, as the result depends upon the type of bread and the degree of moisture.

Generally speaking, a higher temperature is required for breads other than white. Turn the toasting grade selector to a lower number if, for example, only one slice of bread is being toasted.

Caution:

Relatively dry slices of bread, or bread that has already been toasted once, will brown much more quickly and may under certain circumstances catch fire. Therefore set the heat control to a lower setting and do not leave the toaster unattended.

Fully depress the lowering lever, which will then lock into position (Fig. 4).

The appliance will begin to operate and the STOP button will illuminate. The handle will only lock if the toaster is plugged in.

After completion of the toasting operation, the toast will automatically be raised and the appliance will switch itself off (Fig. 5).

Remove the bread. To make it easier to remove the bread you can lift the lowering lever as far as it will go.

■ To stop the toaster when toasting is underway, press the "stop" button (Fig. 6).

Note:

Should a slice of bread become trapped in the toasting well, unplug the power cord, let the appliance cool down and then carefully free the toast without touching the heating elements.

ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES

Bun Warmer

■ Raise the bun warmer by pressing the handle on the corresponding bun warmer function (e) (Fig. 7). ■ Position the rolls on the shelves and press on the lowering lever until it locks automatically. Do not go beyond position 2. Start the appliance (Fig. 8). ■ Please take care for rolls rewarming function that the rolls and the lift have to be in the right position (Fig. 9). Do not put any pastries directly on the toaster to reheat them. Use the bun warmer instead (e). ■To improve the results, turn the rolls over and repeat the toasting operation. ■After use, lower the bun warmer by raising the handle on the bun warmer feature. ■The bun warmer should not be used for longer than 10 minutes.

Defrost feature

■ The toaster has a pre-programmed defrosting feature. Toasting frozen bread takes longer than toasting bread which is not frozen. ■ Insert one or two frozen slices of bread or toast in the toaster (Fig. 10). ■ Select the desired toasting level and lower the handle (please see the "OPERATING MODE" paragraph). ■Press the " " button (Fig. 10). ■The "DEFROST" and "STOP" buttons will illuminate.

CLEANING

Clean the toaster regularly (Fig. 12). ■Never immerse the appliance in water or put it under running water. ■ Never use an abrasive sponge to clean the toaster.
