4. Setup

1. Unpack: 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 walls, cabinets, or any flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. First Use: Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few 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.
