Setup

Unpacking:

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

First Use:

Before using your toaster for the first time, it is recommended to operate it without bread for a few cycles to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor and some smoke, which is normal and will dissipate quickly.

1. Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Set the browning control dial to a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4).
4. Press down the carriage levers until they lock into place. The toaster will begin a cycle.
5. Allow the cycle to complete. Repeat this process 2-3 times in a well-ventilated area.
6. Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before storing or using with food.

Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread:

2. Select your desired browning level using the browning control dial. Settings range from 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest).
3. Press down the carriage lever until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin.
4. When the desired browning is achieved, the toast will automatically pop up.

Browning Control:

The toaster features two independent browning control dials, allowing you to toast different types of bread or achieve different browning levels simultaneously for each pair of slots. Adjust the dial to your preference:

• Settings 1-2: For light toast or warming.
• Settings 3-4: For medium toast.
• Settings 5-6: For dark toast or thicker items.

Cancel Function:

To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the Cancel button (square icon). The carriage lever will immediately pop up, and the heating elements will turn off.

Reheat Function:

If your toast has cooled down and you wish to warm it without further browning, place the toast back into the slots, press down the carriage lever, and then press the Reheat button (three wavy lines icon). The toaster will briefly warm the bread.

Defrost Function:

To toast frozen bread, place the frozen slices into the slots, press down the carriage lever, and then press the Defrost button (snowflake icon). The toaster will automatically adjust the toasting time to first defrost and then toast the bread to your selected browning level.

High Lift Function:

The toaster features an extra high lift function. After toasting is complete, you can lift the carriage lever further upwards to safely retrieve smaller items like crumpets or muffins without burning your fingers.

Wide Slots:
