Before first use

Put the toaster in a properly ventilated room and select the highest browning setting. Let the toaster complete a few toasting cycles without bread in it. This burns off any dust and prevents unpleasant smells.

Toast, reheat, or defrost bread (fig.2)

Note:

Do not operate the appliance without the crumb tray.
Never force bread into toasting slots. Never toast bread slices that have been buttered. Take extra care when toasting breads that contain sugar, preserves, raisins or fruit bits, due to risk of overheating. Do not use bent, damaged or broken bread slices in your toaster as it may get jammed into the slot or stuck in the toasting chamber.

To toast bread, follow the steps 1, 2, 3.

Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted bread.
Select a high setting (6-8) for darkly toasted bread.

To reheat bread, press the reheating setting button ( ).

To defrost bread, press the defrosting setting button ( ).

Note:

You can stop the toasting process and pop up the bread at any time by pressing the stop button ( STOP ) on the toaster.
The reheat function has a preset duration. The toasting time does not change when you turn the browning control to another setting.

Tip:

You may use different browning settings when toasting different types of bread:
- For dry, thin or stale bread, select a lower setting. This type of bread has less moisture and it will go brown quicker than moist, thick or fresh bread.
- For fruit bread like raisin bread, select a lower setting.
- For higher sugar content bread, select a lower setting.
- For heavier textured bread like rye bread or whole wheat bread, select a higher setting.
When you toast one slice of bread, browning of toast may be slightly varied from one side to the other.
For bread that may have loose food bits, for example raisin bread and whole wheat bread, remove the loose bits before putting bread slices into the slot. This can avoid potential flame/smoke resulting from loose food bits dropping/sticking in the toaster chamber.

Bun warming (fig.3)

To warm buns, follow the steps below:

Push down the warming rack lever to unfold the warming rack.
Turn the browning control to the bun warming setting ( ).

Note:

Do not place bread on bun warming rack to avoid damage to toaster.
Never put the rolls to be warmed up directly on top of the toaster. Always use the warming rack to avoid damage to the toaster.

Cleaning (fig.4)

Warning:

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids to clean the appliance.
Lightly tap the toaster housing to dislodge any bread crumbs in the toaster chamber.
Allow toaster to cool down for 30 minutes after use before cleaning the toaster.
