Toasting Bread
- Insert Bread: Place one or two slices of bread into the long toasting slot. The toaster features automatic bread centering to ensure even toasting.

- Start Toasting: Press the toasting lever down until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin, and the indicator light (if present) will illuminate.
