5. Operating Instructions

To warm items using the Smeg Bun Warmer:

1. Place the bun warmer securely on your Smeg 4-slice toaster as described in Section 4.
2. Place the items you wish to warm (e.g., buns, croissants, pastries) on the steel grill of the bun warmer. Ensure items do not block the toaster slots directly below.
3. Select a low to medium heat setting on your toaster. The ideal setting may vary depending on the item and desired warmth. Start with a lower setting and adjust as needed.
4. Lower the toaster lever to activate the heating elements. The heat from the toaster will rise and warm the items on the bun warmer.
5. Monitor the warming process closely to prevent burning. The warming time will depend on the item's size and density.
6. Once warmed, use the plastic handles to carefully remove the bun warmer from the toaster. Use tongs or a heat-resistant utensil to remove the warmed items.
7. Allow the bun warmer and toaster to cool completely before cleaning or storing.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity of your Smeg Bun Warmer:

• Cleaning: After each use, allow the bun warmer to cool completely. Wipe the steel grill with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild detergent and a soft brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Do Not Dishwash: This bun warmer is not dishwasher compatible. Hand wash only.
• Storage: Store the bun warmer in a dry place when not in use.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bun warmer, consider the following:

• Items not warming: Ensure the toaster is powered on and the lever is fully depressed. Check that the toaster's heat setting is appropriate.
• Uneven warming: Rotate items on the bun warmer halfway through the warming cycle if necessary. Ensure the bun warmer is seated evenly on the toaster.
• Smoke or burning smell: Immediately turn off and unplug the toaster. Remove the bun warmer and check for any food debris inside the toaster or on the bun warmer that might be burning. Adjust toaster settings to a lower heat.
