USING THE PRODUCT

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using the toaster, check the extra-wide bread slots and remove any packaging materials and paper that may have gotten inside during transport or servicing. Do not use a metal object to check the toaster slots.

Light smoke may appear during the first use of the toaster. This is normal. The smoke is harmless and will dissipate shortly.

USING THE TOASTER

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

[electrical-plug-symbol] Connect the appliance to a grounded outlet.

Do not remove the grounding pin.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, fire, or electric shock.

1. Insert the toaster's power plug into a grounded outlet.

   NOTE: Different bread types with different moisture levels require different browning settings. For example, dry bread will toast faster than moist bread. In such cases, set a moderate browning level.

2. Select the browning level using the dial. Turn the dial to the right to increase the browning level, and to the left to decrease it. The indicator lights show the browning level from “1” (low) to “7” (high).

3. Place bread slices or other items in the toaster slots.

   NOTE: For even toasting in 2-slice models, toast only one type of bread and of the same thickness. When toasting slices of different types of bread or different thicknesses in 4-slice models that have two separate control sets, toast only one type of bread and of the same thickness in one pair of slots.

4. Once you place a slice in at least one slot, the toaster will automatically lower them and start toasting. Some items may be too light to activate the automatic toasting mechanism. If the items do not lower after 3 seconds, press the TOAST/CANCEL (0) button to manually start the toasting cycle.
5. (Optional) Press the desired special function button within 5 seconds. For more information, see the “Special Toasting Functions” section.

Do not store the sandwich rack in the toaster, and do not install it in the toaster immediately after toasting and removing the sandwich. Otherwise, a new toasting cycle will begin, which may lead to improper operation of the toaster.

USING THE PRODUCT (CONTINUED)

1. Once the food is ready, the toaster will automatically lift it and signal. If the food is not removed from the toaster within 45 seconds, the toaster will activate the reheat mode.
2. The toasting cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the TOAST/CANCEL (0) button. The toaster will lift the toast and turn off.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Before cleaning the toaster, unplug it from the mains and allow it to cool down.
2. Grasp the center of the crumb tray and remove it. Shake the crumbs into a waste bin. It is recommended to empty the crumb tray after each use of the toaster. The crumb tray should only be washed by hand.

   CAUTION: The crumb tray will be hot immediately after the toasting cycle.

   NOTE: If grease or oil gets on the toaster housing, wipe it immediately with a soft damp cotton cloth.

3. Wipe the toaster with a soft damp cotton cloth. Do not use paper towels, abrasive, or liquid cleaning agents. Do not immerse the toaster in water.
