Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the toaster and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or stickers.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains or walls. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. Power Connection: Unwind the power cord from the cable rewinding system and plug it into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your toaster (240V).
4. First Use (Burn-off): Before toasting food, operate the toaster empty for a few minutes on the highest browning setting (7) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may occur; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Allow the toaster to cool completely.

Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread Slices

1. Insert Bread: Place up to two slices of bread into the toasting slots. Ensure the slices are not too thick or irregularly shaped to prevent jamming.
2. Select Browning Level: Turn the browning control dial to your desired setting, from 1 (lightest) to 7 (darkest). Start with a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4) and adjust according to preference.
3. Start Toasting: Press the lever down until it locks into place. The toaster will begin toasting, and the indicator light will illuminate.
4. Stop Toasting: The toast will automatically pop up when the selected browning level is reached. If you wish to stop the toasting cycle prematurely, press the "Stop" button.
5. Remove Toast: Carefully remove the toasted bread. The dispensing mechanism lifts the toast for easier removal.

Using the Roasting Attachment (Bread Rack)

The integrated roasting attachment is suitable for warming rolls, croissants, or other pastries that cannot fit into the toasting slots.

1. Raise Rack: Push the lever upwards to raise the roasting attachment above the toasting slots.
2. Place Items: Place the items to be warmed (e.g., a baguette, croissant) on the roasting rack.
3. Select Browning Level: Choose a lower browning setting (e.g., 1 or 2) as items on the rack warm faster than those inside the slots.
4. Start Warming: Press the lever down to start the heating cycle. The rack will remain in the raised position.
5. Monitor and Stop: Monitor the warming process closely to prevent burning. Press the "Stop" button when the items are warmed to your satisfaction.
6. Remove Items: Carefully remove the warmed items from the rack.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your toaster.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Empty Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the toaster. Discard crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
4. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the toaster body, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
5. Storage: When not in use, store the toaster in a clean, dry place. The power cord can be neatly wound using the integrated cable rewinding system.
