Placement:

• Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.

• Do not place the toaster near flammable materials such as curtains or paper.

Initial Use:

Before first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest browning setting (Level 6) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate.

4. Operating Instructions

Basic Toasting:

1. Plug the toaster into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Insert slices of bread into the toaster slots. The 1.5-inch wide slots accommodate various bread types.
3. Push the toast lever down until it locks into place. The digital display will illuminate.
4. Select your desired browning level by touching one of the six browning level icons on the touch screen. The display will show the corresponding time.
5. The toaster will automatically lower the bread and begin the toasting cycle. The digital timer will count down.
6. Once the cycle is complete, the toast will automatically pop up.

Special Functions:

• Bagel Function: Toasts the cut side of bagels while gently warming the outer side. Insert the bagel with the cut side facing inwards. Press the "Bagel" button after selecting your browning level.
• Defrost Function: Defrosts and toasts frozen bread in one step. Insert frozen bread and press the "Defrost" button after selecting your browning level.
• Reheat Function: Warms up previously toasted bread without additional browning. Insert toast and press the "Reheat" button.
• Cancel Function: To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the "Cancel" button.

Adjusting Toasting Time:

Use the "+10s" and "-10s" buttons on the digital display to fine-tune the toasting time in 10-second increments after selecting a browning level.
