3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains or walls. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. First Use: Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for two or three cycles at the highest browning setting. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
4. Crumb Tray: Ensure the crumb tray is fully inserted before plugging in the toaster.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Insert Bread: Place up to four standard slices of bread or two long slices into the toaster slots.
2. Select Browning Level: Turn the browning control dial to your desired setting (1 for light toast, 7 for dark toast).
3. Start Toasting: Push the toast lever down until it locks into place. The toaster will begin toasting, and the lever will automatically pop up when the cycle is complete.
4. Cancel Function: To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the CANCEL button (marked with a stop symbol).
5. Defrost Function: For toasting frozen bread, insert the bread, select your desired browning level, push the lever down, and then press the DEFROST button (marked with a snowflake symbol). The indicator light will illuminate.
6. Reheat Function: To warm up already toasted bread without further browning, insert the bread, push the lever down, and then press the REHEAT button (marked with wavy lines). The indicator light will illuminate.
7. Using the Warming Rack: To warm rolls or pastries, push the warming rack lever upwards until the rack is extended. Place the items on the rack. Do not place items directly into the toasting slots when using the warming rack.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Empty Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the toaster. Discard collected crumbs. Wipe the tray with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
4. Internal Cleaning: Do not insert any objects into the toasting slots for cleaning. If food becomes lodged, unplug the toaster and carefully invert it to shake out the debris.
