- Start Toasting: Push the carriage lever down until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin, and the indicator light will illuminate.
- Eject Toast: Once the selected browning cycle is complete, the toast will automatically pop up, and the toaster will switch off. Use the high-rise carriage handle to safely retrieve smaller items.

6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your toaster.
