Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.

- First Use: Before first use, operate the toaster without bread for a few cycles at the highest browning setting to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor and smoke, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
- Crumb Trays: Ensure the crumb trays are correctly inserted at the bottom of the toaster.
