2. Power On: Press the Power On button on the touchscreen.
3. Select Bread Type: Tap the icon corresponding to your bread type (e.g., Bread, Bagel, Waffle). The touchscreen interface includes 6 preset bread types: Bagel, Gluten-Free, Waffle, Pastry, and Bread.
4. Select Browning Level: Choose your desired browning level from 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest). The toaster is equipped with dual independent control panels, allowing two separate toasting operations simultaneously, each with 6 browning levels.
5. Lower Lever: Push down the toast lever until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin.

Special Functions

• Defrost: For frozen bread. Insert frozen item, select bread type, select browning level, then press the Defrost button. Lower the lever. The toaster will automatically adjust the time for defrosting and toasting.
