3. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials from the box. Ensure all accessories are present and intact.
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 appliance.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard, grounded 120V AC electrical outlet.
4. Initial Use: Before toasting bread for consumption, operate the toaster for one cycle at the highest browning setting without any bread. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor may be present during this initial use; this is normal and will dissipate.

4. Operating Instructions

4.3 Using Function Buttons

The toaster features three dedicated function buttons:
