Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster and all packaging materials. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface, away from curtains or other flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. Power Connection: Unwind the power cord from the cord storage area under the base. Plug the toaster into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
4. Initial Burn-off: Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few minutes on the highest shade setting (6). This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
