Operation

This appliance is designed for toasting and heating bread only. Do not use it for cooking other food.

1. Ensure the crumb tray is correctly installed. Never use the toaster without it.
2. For first-time use, switch the toaster on for a few minutes without bread. Some smoke is normal initially.
3. Plug the appliance into the mains supply.
4. Place slices of bread on the rack.

Notes for Toasting:

• Do not spread bread slices with oil or butter before toasting.
• Do not completely cover the toasting rack with bread; leave approximately 1 cm of space between slices.
• Select the toasting time by turning the power control knob (maximum time: 170 seconds). The toasting time depends on the type of bread (frozen, dry, or fresh) and its thickness.
• Press the power button; the indicator light will illuminate.
• Manually turn the bread slice when it is toasted on one side.

The toasting process will end automatically when the set time is reached. You can stop it earlier by pressing the power button. The indicator light will go out, and the toaster will switch off automatically.
