Setup

Before first use, ensure the toaster is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. Unwind the power cord completely. It is recommended to operate the toaster a few times without bread on the highest setting to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor and smoke, which is normal and will dissipate quickly.

1. Unpack the toaster and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the toaster in water.
3. Ensure the crumb trays are properly inserted.
4. Plug the toaster into a suitable electrical outlet.
