USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before using your toaster for the first time, be sure to:
If you are using the toaster for the first time, please note that there may be manufacturing residue or oil in the toaster’s heating element, it may emit an odour during the first use. This is normal and should not occur after a few uses.

USING YOUR TOASTER:

1. Make sure the removable crumb tray is fully inserted before use.

2. Plug the power cord into the power outlet.

3. Place the desired number of slices of bread into the slots. (Two slices is the most)

4. Set the colour control knob to your desired setting. There are 6 levels of browning to choose from. For first use, choose ‘3’ for an average setting and adjust accordingly.
   PLEASE NOTE: Colour setting must be adjusted before toasting. It should not be adjusted during baking.

5. Press the carriage handle down vertically until it is positioned in place. Once the bread has been toasted to the desired colour, the carriage handle will automatically spring up and you can remove the slices of toast.

6. During the toasting process, you may observe the toasting colour by cancelling the cycle at any time.
