Browning Levels

Choose from 5 shade levels to achieve your preferred toast crispness. Level 1 is the lightest, and Level 5 is the darkest.

Special Functions

• Keep Warm Function:

  After toasting, select the "WARM" mode to keep your toast warm for up to 30 minutes without further browning. The toaster will cycle heating to maintain warmth.

• Cancel Function:

  Press the "CANCEL" button at any time to stop the toasting cycle and automatically lift the bread.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Unplug Before Cleaning: Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Crumb Tray:

   Locate the removable crumb tray at the bottom of the toaster. Pull it out to remove accumulated crumbs. Discard crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the tray is completely dry before reinserting it.

3. Exterior Cleaning:

   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. For stubborn spots, a mild detergent can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
4. Interior Cleaning:

   Do not insert any objects into the toasting slots to clean them. If food becomes lodged, unplug the toaster and carefully invert it to shake out the food. Never use metal utensils to remove food from the slots.

5. Storage: When not in use, store the toaster in a clean, dry place.
