Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before operating the toaster.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversize foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• A fire may occur if toasters are covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
• Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.
• Do not operate unattended.

Setup

Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials from the box.
2. Remove any protective films or stickers from the appliance.
3. Inspect the toaster for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Placement

• Place the toaster on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 6 inches) from walls, cabinets, and other appliances to allow for proper ventilation.
• Do not place the toaster near flammable materials such as curtains or paper.

Initial Cleaning and First Use

1. Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Ensure the crumb tray is properly inserted.
3. For the first use, operate the toaster without bread on the highest setting (level 6) in a well-ventilated area. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this initial cycle.
4. Allow the toaster to cool completely before subsequent use.

Selecting Bread Type and Browning Level

1. Insert your bread, bagel, waffle, or other item into the wide toasting slots. The self-centering guides will hold the food in place.
2. On the touchscreen, select the appropriate bread type from the available options (e.g., White, Bagel, Waffle, Gluten-Free, etc.). The toaster offers 10 different bread type selections.
3. Adjust the desired browning level using the on-screen controls. There are 6 toasting shades available, from light to dark.

Using Fresh, Frozen, and Reheat Functions

• Fresh: This is the default setting for fresh bread.
• Frozen: Select this option when toasting frozen items. The toaster will automatically adjust the cycle time to defrost and then toast.
• Reheat: Use this function to warm up previously toasted items without further browning.

Initiating Toasting and High-Lift Lever

Once your selections are made, press the lever down to begin the toasting cycle. The toaster will automatically calculate the optimal cooking time. After the cycle is complete, the toast will automatically pop up. Use the high-lift lever to raise smaller items for easy and safe removal.

Multilingual Settings

The toaster's display supports multiple languages. To change the language, navigate to the settings menu on the touchscreen and select your preferred language (English, Spanish, French, Mandarin).
