Workplace

Important:
Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be
touched by children or fall down when touched.

Getting started
Different types of bread have different degrees of moisture, therefore the same browning level can lead to different results. To be able to remove bread slices from the toaster, they should be larger than 85mm and not thicker than 25mm.

Danger of fire! Too thick slices can get stuck and burn. Installed smoke detectors can be activated.

Lightly dry bread needs a low setting.
Fresh bread / wholemeal bread with an irregular surface needs a high setting.
Thick slices require a high setting, or need to be toasted twice.
If only one slice is toasted, a low setting should be made.
If you toast several times in succession, the bread may become slightly darker than the selected setting.
To thaw frozen bread, press the corresponding button.
To heat up buns, use the attached bun warmer.

Toasting

Unwind the cable from the cable storage on the bottom of the device and plug it in.
The lifting mechanism only works when the toaster is plugged in.
Put the slices of toast into the heating slot. Small slices should be put in an upright position so that they can be removed more easily. Too small or too thick slices can block the device and are difficult to remove.
Set the desired degree of browning with the dial knob:
- 1 – 2 bright
- 3 – 5 medium
- 6 – 7 dark
The browning depends on the degree of moisture, type of flour, thickness of the slices, etc.
Burnt bread produces acrylamide! Press the lever down until it engages.
Once the desired degree of browning is reached, the lifting mechanism automatically lifts the toast.
Stop the toasting process: press the button to cancel the process.
Warm up toast: press the button immediately after turning on the device. 2 LEDs light up and the toast is warmed.
Defrosting: press the button immediately after turning on the device. The toasting time will be extended.
Bun warmer: open the bun warmer and place it onto the toaster. Select the degree of browning 3 and press the lever downwards. Put the buns (maybe lightly moistened) on the warmer and turn after half of the time.
