Frequently Asked Questions - 149 ARIETE

How do I adjust the browning level?

Turn the knob (I) to select your desired toasting level. Higher settings produce darker toast.

Can I use this toaster for frozen bread?

Yes. Insert frozen slices, set the browning level to 'Light', lower the lever, then press the Defrost button (H). The button will stay lit during defrosting.

How do I reheat already toasted bread?

Insert the slices, lower the lever, and press the Reheat button (G). The warming time is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

What should I do if the toast is too light or too dark?

If too light, select a higher browning level next time. If too dark, select a lower level. Adjust the knob (I) accordingly.

How do I clean the toaster?

Unplug the toaster and let it cool completely. Empty the crumb tray (E) after each use. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse in water.

Can I toast more than two slices at once?

No. The toaster has two slots, and you should not insert more than two slices in total for even toasting.

Is it safe to use metal utensils inside the toaster?

No. Never insert forks, knives, or other metal objects as they can damage the heating elements and cause an electric shock hazard.

Why does the toaster smoke when first used?

A small amount of smoke is normal during first use as the heating elements burn off manufacturing residues. Run the toaster empty for a few minutes to eliminate the smell.

What does the stop button do?

Press the Stop button (F) at any time to immediately cancel the toasting, defrosting, or reheating cycle.

How should I store the power cord?

After use, wrap the cord around the cord storage device (J) located under the base of the toaster to keep it tidy.
