Preparing the Appliance for First Use

Before the first use, it is recommended to run the toaster empty to remove any manufacturing residues. This helps to eliminate any odors.

2. Use the highest toasting degree setting.
3. Ensure good ventilation (e.g., near an open window).
4. Allow the appliance to cool down between cycles.

Operation

General Information

Please follow these guidelines for optimal use:

• You can stop the current toasting process at any time by pressing the Cancel button.
• If toast gets jammed, the appliance will switch off automatically. Unplug the toaster, let it cool down, and carefully remove the jammed bread.
• Experiment with different toasting degree settings for the first few uses, as results vary based on bread type and moisture.
• When toasting a single slice of bread, use a lower toasting degree than for two slices.
• Be aware that acrylamide can form in cereal and potato products at very high temperatures. Toast food until golden-yellow, not too dark, and remove any burnt edges.

Toasting Degree Setting

Adjust the browning level according to your bread type and personal preference:
