Setup Guide

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around and above the toaster for proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Avoid placing it near curtains or flammable materials.
3. First Use (Burn-off): Before first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest setting (7) for a few cycles. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight odor or smoke during this process is normal.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
