Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls, curtains, and other heat-sensitive materials. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
- First Use: Before first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest browning setting (7) for a few cycles to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable 220-240V; 50/60Hz electrical outlet. Utilize the cable storage feature underneath the toaster to manage excess cord length.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.
- Always unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
