4. Setup
Unboxing and Placement:
- Carefully remove the toaster and kettle from their packaging.
- Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
- Place the appliances on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the countertop and out of reach of children. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliances.

First Use:
Before using for the first time, it is recommended to run both appliances without food or water to eliminate any manufacturing odors.
- Toaster: Plug in the toaster. Set the browning control to a medium setting. Press the carriage lever down without bread. A slight odor may be present; this is normal and will dissipate. Repeat 2-3 times.
