3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the toaster from its packaging.
Remove any protective films or packaging materials from the toaster.
Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.

3.2 First Use

Before first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest browning setting (9) for a few minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate odors.
Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process. A small amount of smoke or odor is normal.

3.3 Placement

Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Ensure there is adequate space around the toaster for ventilation, especially above and behind it.
Do not place the toaster directly under cupboards or near flammable materials.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Toasting Bread

Plug the toaster into a suitable power outlet.
Place up to four slices of bread into the toasting slots. The variable width slots accommodate both thick and thin slices.

Defrost Button (snowflake icon): This function allows you to toast frozen bread. Place the frozen bread in the slots, press the lever down, then press the defrost button. The toaster will automatically adjust the toasting time.
