Frequently Asked Questions - TO 21 STEBA

How to clean the Steba TO 21 toaster?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Remove the crumb tray and empty it. Clean the housing with a damp cloth and a little dish soap. Never immerse the appliance in water and do not use abrasives.

What to do if the bread is over-toasted?

Set the browning level to a lower number (1-2 for light). Browning depends on bread moisture, flour type, and slice thickness.

Can I toast frozen bread?

Yes, press the defrost button after lowering the lever. The cooking time is extended to defrost and toast the bread in one go.

How to use the roll warming rack?

Open the accessory and place it on the toaster. Select browning level 3, lower the lever, then place the rolls (possibly slightly moistened). Turn them halfway through.

What to do if the lever does not lock?

Check that the toaster is properly plugged in. The lifting mechanism only works when the appliance is connected to the mains.

Getting started

Different types of bread have different degrees of moisture, therefore the same browning level can lead to different results.

To be able to remove bread slices from the toaster, they should be larger than 85mm and not thicker than 25mm .

Danger of fire! Too thick slices can get stuck and burn. Installed smoke detectors can be activated.

• Lightly dry bread needs a low setting.
• Fresh bread / wholemeal bread with an irregular surface needs a high setting.
• Thick slices require a high setting, or need to be toasted twice.
• If only one slice is toasted, a low setting should be made.
• If you toast several times in succession, the bread may become slightly darker than the selected setting.
• To thaw frozen bread, press the corresponding button.
• To heat up buns, use the attached bun warmer.

Toasting

• Unwind the cable from the cable storage on the bottom of the device and plug it in.
• The lifting mechanism only works when the toaster is plugged in.
• Put the slices of toast into the heating slot. Small slices should be put in an upright position so that they can be removed more easily. Too small or too thick slices can block the device and are difficult to remove.
• Set the desired degree of browning with the dial knob:

o 1-2 bright
o 3-5 medium
o 6-7 dark

• The browning depends on the degree of moisture, type of flour, thickness of the slices, etc.

Burnt bread produces acrylamide!

• Press the lever down until it engages.

• Once the desired degree of browning is reached, the lifting mechanism automatically lifts the toast.
