PACKAGE CONTENTS

USE

Before use
Before first use, wipe the appliance’s internal surfaces with a damp cloth or a sponge, then wipe them dry with a paper towel. Spread a small amount of butter, margarine or oil on the inside of the appliance.

Attention!

When the appliance is heated or operated for the first time, a trail of smoke or steam may appear. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs when new internal components are preheated.
The appliance can be used for toasting toast-type or common bread. Do not toast slices of bread that are too large or too thick.
Be extremely careful when closing the cover (your fingers may get caught).
Before turning the appliance on, place it on a stable and flat surface resistant to high temperatures.

Turning the appliance on and off

To turn the appliance on, connect it to an alternating current source whose parameters match those specified on the appliance’s label.
To turn the appliance off, disconnect it from the alternating current source.

Attention!
The appliance should be connected to a readily accessible socket situated near the appliance so that the appliance can be disconnected from the power source immediately in the event any danger arises. The power outlet must be equipped with protective earth pins.

Opening and closing the lid
To open the lid, release the catch To close the lid, fasten the catch. In order not to damage the catch, make sure that the sandwiches fit inside the toaster easily. Do not use excessive force when fastening the catch.

Toasting bread

Before first use, wipe the appliance’s internal surfaces with a damp cloth or a sponge, then wipe them dry with a paper towel. Spread a small amount of butter, margarine or oil on the inside of the appliance.
Insert the plug into an alternating current network outlet. The power indicator (red light) and readiness indicator (green) will turn on.
Close the lid and fasten the catch, so that the appliance heats up faster. During this time you may prepare your sandwiches (to make golden toasted sandwiches you may spread a tiny amount of butter on the outside of the slices).
Wait about 2 minutes until the indicator showing that the appliance is ready to toast sandwiches (green light) turns off (it means that the toasting plates have reached the suitable temperature), and put the sandwiches on the toasting plates.
Close the toaster lid and fasten the catch. (In order not to damage the catch, make sure that the sandwiches fit inside the toaster easily.)
Open the toaster lid after several minutes to see if the sandwiches are ready and show the desired golden colour. Beware of hot steam coming out of the appliance during toasting! (Toasting time depends on the type of food and on individual taste – on average it is from 2 to 5 minutes).

Attention!

During appliance operation, the green light indicating readiness for toasting may go on and off. This is a normal phenomenon indicating that the thermostat, which serves to maintain the desired temperature, is working properly.
After your sandwiches are ready, take them off the plates with a plastic or wooden spatula. Do not use metal tools or anything that could damage the surface of the toasting plates. Do not use a fork or knife.
After you finish toasting, remove the plug from the socket and let the toaster cool down.

Attention! In case of triangle plates, it is highly recommended to warm up sandwiches with one slice of cheese only. You should put them into the machine without waiting for the ready indicator to turn off (green light). Proceeding as recommended above will help to avoid cheese leaking from sandwich and making plates dirty
