3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any protective films or labels.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, drapes, and other flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. Initial Use (Burn-off): Before toasting bread for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few cycles at the highest browning setting. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 230V AC electrical outlet.

3. Press the carriage lever down, then press the Defrost button (snowflake icon). The indicator light will illuminate.
4. The toaster will automatically adjust the toasting time to first defrost and then toast the bread.

4.3. Reheat Function

This function is for warming up already toasted bread without further browning.

1. Place cold, pre-toasted bread into the slots.
2. Press the carriage lever down, then press the Reheat button (wavy lines icon). The indicator light will illuminate.
3. The toaster will briefly warm the bread and then automatically pop it up.

4.4. Cancel Function

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the toaster. Dispose of accumulated crumbs. Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
3. Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel finish.
4. Interior: Never insert any objects into the toasting slots to clean them. If bread gets stuck, unplug the toaster and carefully remove the bread after it has cooled.
5. Storage: When not in use, the power cord can be wrapped around the cord storage area at the base of the toaster. Store the toaster in a clean, dry place.
