To end the toasting process prematurely, press the stop button 5.

Use button 2 to set the desired toasting level, but no higher than level |1|3| (=2).
Press the push-down lever 6 down until it engages.

General
Toast items only until they are golden brown and not dark or brown. Remove any burnt edges. Do not over-toast foods containing starch, especially grain and potato products (to reduce the production of acryl amides).

N.B.: If a slice gets stuck, the toaster turns itself off automatically. Pull the power plug and carefully remove the bread after the toaster has cooled down.

Saving energy
Turn the toaster off after use by pressing the button in order to conserve energy.
