4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any labels or stickers.
2. Placement: Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls, curtains, and other flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the toaster.
3. First Use (Burn-Off): Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread on the highest shade setting (6) in a well-ventilated area. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

5.2 Special Functions

• Defrost Function: Ideal for toasting frozen bread. Select the 'DEFROST' button after choosing your bread type and shade. This adds approximately 20% longer toasting time to account for thawing.
• Bagel Function: Toasts the cut side of bagels while gently warming the outer crust. Select the 'BAGEL' button after inserting your bagel and choosing the desired shade.
• Reheat Function: Warms already toasted items without further browning. Press the 'REHEAT' button. The toaster will reheat for 30 seconds after the cycle finishes.
• Cancel Function: To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the 'CANCEL' button. The carriage lever will immediately raise the bread.

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.
