Frequently Asked Questions - PCTA 1252 PROFICOOK

How to use the toaster for the first time?

Before first use, run the appliance about three times without bread at the highest browning level to remove the protective layer. Light smoke and odor are normal. Ensure good ventilation.

How to adjust the browning level?

Use the browning level control knob (indicator from 1 to 7). For a light result, choose 1; for dark, choose 7. When in doubt, start with a low level.

How to use the reheat function?

After lowering the carriage, press the ≈ « reheat » button. The indicator lights up. The appliance reheats already toasted bread without further browning.

How to defrost frozen bread?

After lowering the carriage, press the ⚙ « defrost » button. The appliance defrosts and then toasts the bread automatically.

What to do if bread gets stuck in the slot?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Use an insulated object (wooden stick) to dislodge the slice. Never use metal utensils.

How to clean the toaster?

Unplug and let cool. Clean the housing with a damp cloth. Remove the crumb trays and empty them. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Why does the toaster emit odor or smoke during first use?

This is normal: the protective layer on the heating elements is burning off. Run the appliance empty three times at maximum level to remove it. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Can I toast rolls?

Yes, use the provided removable roll holders. Fold down the metal hooks, place the holder on the toasting slot and proceed as for bread. Place only one roll at a time and set browning to maximum 3.

How to wind the power cord?

The toaster is equipped with a cord winder underneath the appliance. Wind the cord around the designated lugs for tidy storage.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the power outlet works. If the problem persists, contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
