4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the toaster for ventilation.
3. First Use: 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. A slight smell or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable 220-240V, 60Hz electrical outlet.
2. Insert Bread: Place one or two slices of bread into the bread slots. The toaster features automatic bread centering for even toasting.
3. Select Browning Level: Turn the browning control knob to your desired setting, from 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest).
4. Start Toasting: Press the toasting lever down until it locks into place. The indicator light will illuminate, and the toasting cycle will begin.
5. Defrost Function (for frozen bread): If toasting frozen bread, insert the bread, select your desired browning level, press the toasting lever down, and then press the DEFROST button. The defrost indicator light will illuminate.
6. Cancel Function: To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the CANCEL button. The bread will automatically pop up.
7. Completion: Once the selected browning cycle is complete, the bread will automatically pop up, and the toaster will switch off.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Clean Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the toaster. Dispose of accumulated crumbs. Wipe the tray with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reinserting it. Ensure the crumb tray is fully inserted before using the toaster.
3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
4. Interior Cleaning: Do not attempt to clean the inside of the toaster with any tools or objects. If bread becomes jammed, unplug the toaster and carefully remove the bread after it has cooled.

7. Troubleshooting

• Toaster does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the toasting lever is fully pressed down and locked.
• Bread is unevenly toasted: Ensure bread slices are not too thick or irregularly shaped. The automatic centering mechanism works best with standard bread slices.
• Smoke or burning smell: This can occur if crumbs accumulate in the toaster or if food is jammed. Immediately press the CANCEL button, unplug the toaster, and allow it to cool. Clean the crumb tray and remove any jammed food.
• Bread does not pop up: Press the CANCEL button. If the bread still does not pop up, unplug the toaster and carefully remove the bread once it has cooled.
