INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The product gets hot when it is on, do not touch the hot surfaces. Be careful not to burn yourself when removing bread from the slots. The 4-slot toaster can be seen as 2 separate toasters. Each side has 2 slots with its display, slide lever, rotary knob and buttons. The 2 sides can be used simultaneously for different programs. In the instructions below, we explain the operation for one side. The same applies to the other side.
Before first use
Choose a suitable location to place the product:
-
A flat, heat-resistant and non-flammable surface;
-
At least 20 cm away from walls and/or the back of your countertop;
-
At least 30 cm away from cabinets and/or shelves that may be above the product;

-
Push the sliding lever all the way down until it locks.
-
Run a toasting cycle. At the end of it, the slots will pop up and the product will automatically turn off.
Note : Do not put bread in the toaster when using the product for the first time. During the first use, the new heat elements are preheated and any dust accumulated during storage or manufacturing is burned off. -
It is normal for this burning to cause an odour. After the first use, this odour will disappear.
Toasting bread
The product may be used a maximum of 6 times in a row. After this, you need to
turn it off for at least 5 minutes to let it cool down before using it again.

- Push the slide lever down.

- The display shows the remaining time. When the selected level is reached, the slots pop up and the display goes out. The product turns off automatically.
Which setting should you choose?

freshness of the bread. As an indication, you can use the following:
- Lower setting: Sweet bread products (waffles, raisin bread, etc.), thin bread, old bread, white bread.
