Toasting

The toaster comes with a self-centering function which allows an even browning process on both sides of the bread slices.

Foods with a high oil and fat content might easily ignite and catch fire, therefore do not toast or warm up any bakery products with toppings or fillings (e.g. butter, cheese, jam, icing, etc.) as those could drip inside the appliance which might possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Place the appliance on an even, non-slippery and heat resistant surface and connect it to a properly installed wall socket.

1. Insert the bread into the bread slots (1).
2. Select your preferred browning degree depending on the freshness and thickness of the bread by turning the browning control knob (3) into the resp. direction.
3. Push down the toasting lever (2) until it locks into place. The indicator light of the stop button (6) lights up and the toasting process starts.
4. The toaster will switch off automatically, once the set browning degree has been reached.
5. To interrupt the toasting cycle before automatic cut-off, press the Stop button (6). The bread slices will be ejected.

Attention: Toasted bread can be very hot. Let it cool down or use potholders to handle it.

If a slice of bread should get stuck during the toasting process, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely, before trying to remove it. Do not use any sharp metal objects to do so.

During operation, bread crumbs are falling down onto the crump tray (9), make sure to clean it on a regular basis.

Use of the integrated Bun Warmer
