3. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

• Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials from the box.
• Check for any damage. If the appliance is damaged, do not use it and contact customer support.
• Remove any stickers or promotional materials from the toaster's exterior.

Before First Use:

• Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure the crumb tray is clean and properly inserted.
• Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
• For the first use, operate the toaster without bread in a well-ventilated area. Set the browning control to a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4). This will burn off any manufacturing residues and may produce a slight odor or smoke, which is normal. Allow the toaster to cool completely.

4. Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread:

1. Plug the toaster into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. Place up to two slices of bread into the toaster slots.
3. Select your desired browning level using the browning control dial (settings 1-6, with 1 being lightest and 6 being darkest).
4. Press the carriage lever down until it locks into place. The toaster will begin toasting, and the indicator light will illuminate.
5. When the selected browning cycle is complete, the toast will automatically pop up, and the indicator light will turn off.
6. If the toast is not browned enough, you can lower the lever again for a short period, but be careful not to burn it.
7. To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the CANCEL button.

Using the Bun Warmer:

1. Place the bun warmer attachment onto the top of the toaster slots.
2. Place buns, croissants, or other pastries on the bun warmer.
3. Set the browning control to a low setting (e.g., 1 or 2).
4. Press the carriage lever down. The heating elements will activate to gently warm the items on the bun warmer.
5. Monitor the warming process closely to prevent burning. Press the CANCEL button when desired warmth is achieved.

Using Defrost and Reheat Functions:

• Defrost Function: Insert frozen bread into the slots. Select your desired browning level. Press the carriage lever down, then press the DEFROST button. The indicator light for defrost will illuminate. The toaster will automatically adjust the toasting time to first defrost and then toast the bread.
• Reheat Function: Insert cold, previously toasted bread into the slots. Select a low browning level. Press the carriage lever down, then press the REHEAT button. The indicator light for reheat will illuminate. This function will warm the toast without further browning.
