Tips for Ideal Toasting Results

1. Different types of bread have varying moisture content. Therefore, the same toast darkness setting can produce different results.
2. For bread that is slightly dry, use a lower toast darkness setting.
3. For fresh bread or whole grain bread, use a higher toast darkness setting.
4. Bread with an irregular surface requires a higher toast darkness setting.
5. Thick bread slices need more time for toasting; it may even be necessary to toast the bread a second time.
6. When toasting raisin bread, remove all raisins from the surface, since otherwise they could burn.
7. If you toast only one slice, please select a low toast darkness setting.
8. If you toast several slices one after the other, the bread will be somewhat darker at the same toast darkness setting.
9. To toast frozen bread, waffles, etc., please use the thaw button.

Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

1. Remove all packaging materials and any transport safety devices.
2. Confirm that all accessories mentioned have been supplied.
3. Clean the toaster with a damp cloth.
4. Confirm that all components are properly assembled and the appliance is placed firmly.
5. Make sure that there is enough space between the toaster and the wall or other appliances, as the toaster will become hot during operation.
6. Connect the appliance to the mains supply by means of the lead cable (220-240 V~, 50/60 Hz).
7. Before using the toaster for the first time, perform a toasting process without bread. Press the toast levers on both toaster parts down until they latch into place.
8. When the toasting is finished, the toast levers automatically jump up. You may now start toasting bread.

Operation - Toasting

1. Prepare the toaster as described in the "Before first use" section.
2. Put the slices of bread into the slots of the toast chamber.
3. Select the desired toasting grade using the toasting grade selector. The adjustment is continuous, corresponding level 1 to light toasting and level 6 to dark toasting. The toast will be golden brown when you adjust the selector to a medium toasting grade.
4. Push the toast levers down until they latch into place. The indicator light for “Stop” lights up and the toasting process starts.
5. You may interrupt the toasting process at any time by pushing the “Stop” button.
6. When the selected toasting grade is achieved, the bread is ejected automatically. The appliance will be shut off.

Operation - Warming

1. Place the bread slices in the slots in the toasting chamber.
2. If you wish to warm up rolls, place the bun warmer on the toaster so it is level and then place the rolls on top. To fold the bun warmer again, gently press the left and right brackets to the outside, so that the holders can engage.
3. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place.
4. Then press the button “Reheat” right away.
5. The bread or roll is warmed without being toasted.
6. You can interrupt the warming cycle any time by pressing the “Stop” button.
7. After completion of the warming cycle, the bread is automatically ejected. The appliance shuts off automatically.
8. Please note that you cannot set the toast darkness when using the warming function.

Operation - Thawing

The thawing function first thaws out the bread and then toasts it, which means that the thawing cycle lasts somewhat longer than the normal toasting cycle.

1. Place the bread slices in the slots in the toasting chamber.
2. If you wish to thaw up rolls, place the bun warmer on the toaster so it is level and then place the rolls on top.
3. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place.
4. Select the desired toast darkness setting.
5. We recommend the following toast darkness settings:
   • LOW: for bread from the refrigerator or thin frozen bread slices.
   • MEDIUM: for frozen waffles or rolls.
   • HIGH: for thicker frozen bread slices and for rolls and thick toast slices.
6. Then press the button “Defrost” right away.
7. The bread or roll is thawed and toasted.
8. You can interrupt the cycle any time by pressing the “Stop” button.
9. After completion of the thawing cycle, the bread is automatically ejected. The appliance shuts off automatically.

Cleaning and Care

1. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning it.
2. Before cleaning, always turn off the appliance and unplug it from the power supply.
3. Do not immerse the appliance and power cord in water or other liquids or wash them in the dishwasher.
4. Wipe off the toaster with a damp cloth and a little dish washing detergent. Do not use any abrasive scouring agents, steel wool, metal objects, hot cleaning agents or disinfectants, since they can damage the appliance.
5. To remove stuck bread slices, unplug the toaster and turn it over and shake lightly. Never attempt to remove stuck bread slices with sharp or pointed tools or silverware.
6. Remove crumbs and any small pieces of bread from the crumb tray regularly. To do this, pull the crumb tray on the side all the way out and empty it. Wipe the crumb tray with a damp cloth, then dry it thoroughly and push it back into the appliance.
7. The appliance must be completely dry before you use it again.
