Setting up Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, firm, level surface. Never place the appliance on the edge of a table – it could tip over and fall. WARNING! Risk of fire. Hot surfaces pose a risk of fire. The heating elements in the slots become very hot during use. Toasted bread can burn. For this reason, you should never use the toaster near or underneath highly flammable objects such as curtains, blinds and paper etc. Leave a little space between this appliance and other appli- ances or the wall to allow the air to circulate freely. Do not cover the appliance during use. DANGER! Risk of electric shock/burning due to short-circuit- ing. Risk of short-circuiting due to high levels of moisture. Do not position the appliance over a hotplate or other heat-generating appliances (grill, deep fat fryer); this applies even if an extraction fan is installed above it. Never set up the device near to a sink. Do not use the appliance outdoors. 4.2. Mains connection Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed safety socket 220-240V~50/60Hz that is close to the set-up loca- tion. The socket must be freely accessible so that you can un- plug the appliance from the mains quickly if necessary. Ensure that the mains cable has been completely unwound62 of 72 during operation. Remove the plug from the socket after each use, before clean- ing and during periods when the appliance is left unattended. Do not kink or crush the mains cable. Disconnect the mains cable when you are not using the appli- ance, cleaning the appliance or if a fault occurs. Always remove the mains cable from the socket by grasping the plug – do not pull the cable itself. Avoid the use of extension cables in order to prevent tripping. This appliance may not be operated on an external timer or a separate remote control system (e.g. a remote-controlled socket). 4.3. Handling the appliance safely DANGER! Risk of electric shock. There is a risk of electric shock due to live parts. Do not use the appliance under any circumstances when there is visible damage to the appliance, the mains cable or the plug. Do not insert any foreign bodies or packaged foods (e.g. alu- minium foil or cling film) into the slots. Never put your fingers into the slots. Hold the casing by the sides when you are transporting the appliance. WARNING! Risk of fire. Slices of bread and other baked goods can catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation. Do not insert any foreign bodies or packaged foods (e.g. alu- minium foil or cling film) into the slots. Always use the toaster in conjunction with the crumb tray.DE

63 of 72 CAUTION! Risk of injury from burning. The casing will become hot during operation. Therefore, only touch the appliance during opera- tion using the buttons and handles provided for this purpose. 4.4. Cleaning the appliance Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Disconnect the plug from the socket before cleaning the ap- pliance casing. Always allow the appliance to cool down completely. Empty the crumb tray regularly (see “8.1.

6. Initial operation and use

CAUTION! Risk of injury from burning. The casing will become hot during operation. Therefore, only touch the appliance during opera- tion using the buttons and handles provided for this purpose. Before you use the appliance for the first time, please proceed as follows: Connect the toaster to a 220-240V~50/60Hz safety socket; Set the browning control to the highest level (7) and push the lever down to switch on the toaster. Do not put any bread into the toaster this time. Repeat this process four times once the toaster has switched itself off. The appliance is now ready for use. Please note There may be some steam and/or smell when the toaster is switched on for the first time. This is quite normal. You might need to ventilate the room well.

7. Using the toaster

Proceed as follows for toasting bread: Connect the toaster to a 220-240V~50/60Hz safety socket. Make sure that the crumb tray is correctly inserted. Put a maximum of two slices of bread into the toaster, one in each slot. Set the browning control to the required level according to taste (1 = lowest lev- el of browning, 7 = highest level of browning). Note When using the toaster for the first time, or if you are unsure of the re- quired level of browning, select a lower level. The level of browning de- pends on the type of bread. You will need to make several attempts to find out which level of browning is suitable for which type of bread. To achieve even browning by toasting several times, wait around 1/2 minute after each time.66 of 72 Please note The level of browning will be higher if you only use one slot in the toast- er or if the slot is not full. You should therefore set the browning control between level 2 and 3 as a maximum, to avoid excessively dark toast. Press down the lever until you hear it lock into place. The heat- ing elements switch on automatically and the LED next to the cancel button lights up. The toast pops out of the slot as soon as it reaches the level of brown- ing set. The heating elements will turn off. If you want to end the toasting process early, press the cancel button . The heating elements will turn off and the toast will pop up. The light next to the cancel button on the appliance comes on as soon as the toaster is in use. 7.1. Defrosting frozen bread If you want to toast frozen bread, put the bread into the toaster, select the level of browning and push down the lever. Then, press the defrost button . The defrost LED lights up. Compared with normal toasting, the defrosting process takes a little longer to achieve the same level of browning. 7.2. Warming up bread If you want to warm up toasted bread that has cooled down, push down the lever and press the warm-up button . The warm-up LED lights up. Warm-up lasts for around 1/2 minute, regardless of the level of browning set. 7.3. Using the bun rack CAUTION! Risk of injury from burning. The casing will become hot during operation. After use, only handle the bun rack by the plastic grips, not by the metal parts.DE

67 of 72 WARNING! Risk of fire. Inadequate air circulation can lead to build-up of heat. Never toast bread in the slots at the same time as warming up rolls on the bun rack. Never insert the rack into the appliance. Fold open both stands of the bun rack until they lock into place. Position the bun rack on top of the toaster so that the feet of the stand fit into both slots. Set the browning control to level 3 so that the rolls are warm on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Place one to four rolls on the bun rack and push down the lever. When the rolls have reached the required level of browning, turn over the rolls and toast again or stop toasting by pressing the cancel button . 7.4. Removing jammed slices of bread Make sure the bread is not too thick. If, nevertheless, a slice does get stuck in the toaster, proceed as follows: Switch off the toaster by pressing the cancel but- ton and pulling out the plug. Wait until the appliance has cooled down. Then, carefully detach the jammed bread with a blunt, non-metallic object (e.g. the handle of a wooden spoon), without touching the heating elements of the toaster.68 of 72

8. Cleaning the appliance

DANGER! Risk of electric shock. There is a risk of electric shock due to live parts. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liq- uids. Disconnect the plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance casing. CAUTION! Risk of burning! The appliance becomes hot during use. Always allow the appliance to cool down completely. ATTENTION! Risk of damage. Damage to the appliance caused by improper handling of sensitive surfaces.
