Before First Use
- Unpack the toaster and remove all packaging materials, including any protective films or stickers.
- Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the toaster in water.
- Ensure the crumb tray is properly inserted.
- For the first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest browning setting (6) in a well-ventilated area. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process.
- Allow the toaster to cool down completely before using it with bread.
Setup
- Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
- Ensure there is adequate space around the toaster for ventilation.
- Unwind the power cord from the cord winder at the base of the toaster.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (240 Volts).

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.
- Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the toaster. Discard accumulated crumbs. Wipe the tray with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the finish.

- Dust Cover: Use the provided dust cover to protect the toasting slots from dust and debris when the toaster is not in use.
Storage
When not in use, ensure the toaster is unplugged and completely cool. Wrap the power cord around the integrated cord winder at the base for neat storage. Store the toaster in a dry, clean place, preferably with the dust cover in place.
