4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or stickers.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains or walls. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the toaster.
3. First Use: Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few cycles at the highest browning setting (8) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
