4. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps:

• Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.
• Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials and at least 10 cm from walls or cabinets. Ensure there is enough space above the toaster for heat to escape.
• First Use (Burn-off): Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few minutes on the highest browning setting (level 6). This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
• Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable AC 230V 50Hz power outlet.
