Setup

Unpacking and Initial Placement:

• Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials.
• Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains or walls.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the toaster during operation.
• Unwind the power cord and plug it into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

First Use:

Before first use, it is recommended to operate the toaster without bread on the highest setting (7) for a few cycles. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial operation; this is normal and will dissipate.

Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread:

1. Insert up to two slices of bread into the toaster slots. The extra-wide slots accommodate various bread types.
2. Adjust the browning level using the dial control. The digital display will show the selected shade setting (1-7).
