5. BEFORE FIRST USE

■ Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the toaster with a damp cloth.
■ Before you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the appliance complete a few toasting cycles without slices of bread on the highest browning setting in a properly ventilated room.
This burns off any dust that may have accumulated on the heating elements and prevents unpleasant smells when toasting bread.

6. TOASTING BREAD

• Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface, away from curtains and other combustible materials. Plug the appliance into the wall.
  ■ To adjust the length of the cord, wrap part of it round the brackets located on the base of the appliance (Fig. 1).

Never let the toaster operate unattended.

• Put one or two slices (2 slice model) or one to four slices (4 slice model) of bread in the toaster (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3.).
  ■ Select the desired browning setting (Fig. 4).

• Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread and a higher setting (5-6) for darker toasted bread.

• 4 slice model: If you only toast one or two slices of bread, select the desired browning setting for the side where you put the bread. If you toast three or four slice of bread, select the desired browning settings for both sides of the appliance.

■ Push down the toasting lever to begin the toasting process (Fig. 5).

• 4 slice model: If you only toast one or two slices of bread, push down the toasting lever on the side where you put the bread. If you toast three or four slices of bread, push down both toasting levers.
• The toasting lever only stays down when the appliance is plugged in and bread is being toasted.

■ The cancel button will light up (Fig. 6).

Caution: The metal parts of the toaster will become hot during toasting. Do not touch them.

Note: You can stop the toasting process and pop up the bread at any time by pressing the cancel button on the toaster.

■ To adjust the browning setting during toasting, turn the browning control.
■ When the toast is ready, it pops up and the toaster switches off.
■ Remove the toasted bread. To remove smaller items, move the toasting lever upwards a little further.

- If bread gets stuck inside the toaster, remove the plug from the wall socket, let the appliance cool down completely and carefully remove the bread from the toaster.

Caution: Do not use a knife or another sharp metal tool to remove bread from the toaster and do not touch the metal internal parts as well as heating elements of the toaster.

7. DEFROST FUNCTION
