3. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

Initial Cleaning:

First Use (Seasoning):

Before toasting food, operate the toaster without bread for a few cycles at a medium browning setting. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

4. Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread:

1. Plug In: Connect the toaster to a suitable power outlet (220 Volts).
2. Insert Bread: Place slices of bread into the toasting slots. The toaster is designed for automatic bread removal.
3. Select Browning Level: Use the browning control knob to select your desired level of toast. Settings typically range from 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest).
4. Start Toasting: Push the toasting lever down until it locks into place. The indicator light will illuminate, and the toasting cycle will begin.
5. Automatic Ejection: Once the selected browning level is reached, the toast will automatically pop up.
