3. Setup and First Use

Unpacking

• Remove all packaging materials, including any stickers or labels.
• Check that all parts are present and undamaged.
• Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.

Before First Use (Burn-off Cycle)

It is recommended to run the toaster empty a few times before first use to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors.

1. Plug the toaster into a suitable power outlet.
2. Set the browning control dial to a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4).
3. Lower the lever without any bread in the slots. The toaster will operate for a short cycle.
4. Repeat this process 2-3 times in a well-ventilated area.
5. Allow the toaster to cool down completely between cycles.

4. Operating Instructions

Toasting Bread

1. Ensure the crumb tray is properly inserted.
2. Place one or two slices of bread into the toasting slots.
3. Select your desired browning level using the browning control dial (1 for light, 6 for dark).
4. Press the lever down until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin, and the indicator light (if present) will illuminate.
5. Once the selected browning level is reached, the toast will automatically pop up, and the toaster will switch off.
6. If you wish to stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the 'CANCEL' button.

Using the Bun Warmer Rack

The bun warmer rack is ideal for warming croissants, rolls, or other pastries.

1. Place the bun warmer rack onto the top of the toaster slots. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Place the items to be warmed on the rack.
3. Set the browning control dial to a low setting (e.g., 1 or 2).
4. Press the lever down to start the warming cycle.
5. Monitor the warming process closely to prevent burning. Press the 'CANCEL' button when desired warmth is achieved.
6. Carefully remove the warmed items and the bun warmer rack (it will be hot).
