Safety instructions

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

• If the main cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their customer service department, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid potential risks.

•  Use the appliance only in dry indoor areas, not outdoors.
  NEVER submerge the appliance in water or other liquids! If you do, then you could receive a potentially fatal electric shock.

• NEVER insert cutlery items or other metallic objects into the toaster slots.

• Ensure that the appliance can never come into contact with water. NEVER use the appliance adjacent to water or close to vessels containing liquids.

•  Ensure that the power cable never gets wet or moist when the appliance is in use. Lay the cable such that it cannot be clamped or otherwise damaged.

•  After use, always remove the plug from the mains power socket, this prevents the unintentional switching on of the appliance.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

•  The appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
•  Children should not play with the appliance.
•  Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children unless they are older than 8 years of age and are supervised. Children younger than 8 years of age are to be kept away from the appliance and the power cable.
• The appliance can become hot when it is in use. Therefore, only touch the operating elements.
•  Use the appliance only on a stable, non-slippery, and level surface.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
• Unwind the power cable completely from the cable winder before using the appliance.
• Risk of burning if you do not use standard toast bread! Because of the smaller size or shape, there is a risk of touching hot parts when removing the toasted bread.

CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE!

•  Bakery products can burn! You should therefore NEVER locate the appliance close to or underneath inflammable objects, especially not under curtains or suspended cupboards.
• This appliance may not be used in close vicinity to flammable material.
• NEVER cover the toaster when it is in use.

Tips for use

• Avoid using slices that are too big or too thick, as these can easily become jammed in the appliance. Should slices of bread become jammed, first disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. Release jammed slices of bread with a blunt wooden object (e.g. a wooden spatula or spoon). Thereby, do NOT touch the heater elements.
• Differences in bread sorts, moisture content and the thickness of individual slices influence the browning of the toast. Therefore the bread for toasting should be kept in sealed packaging until required. Always initially try out a lower level of browning.
• Use a lower level of browning if you are toasting dry bread, as dry bread browns faster than fresh bread.
•  Select a higher level of browning for dark bread than for light bread, for example, wheat bread.
• The numbers on the toasting dial 6 are not time indications. They serve only as a guide for the browning.
• To avoid an overheating of the toaster and to obtain an even browning of bread, wait for about 15 seconds between two toasting processes.
• You should only use the highest level on the toasting dial 6 for large slices of dark bread. With this browning level light bread will scorch and become inedible. In addition, it may cause the generation of smoke. If this occurs, press the button “Stop” 5 immediately and disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket.

Setting up

CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE

• You should therefore NEVER locate the appliance close to or underneath inflammable objects, especially not under curtains or suspended cupboards.
• Unwind the cable completely from around the cable winder 9 and lead it through the cable clamp 2.
• Place the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface.
• Insert the plug into a mains power socket.

NOTICE

When the toaster is not in use, always remove the plug from the mains power socket. This is the only way to ensure that the appliance is current-free.

Before taking into use

• Operate the toaster without bread 3 times at the maximum browning level “6“.

• Afterward, clean the toaster as described in the chapter “Cleaning”.
  NOTICE

  • Operating button 1 only engages when the cable is connected to a mains power socket.
  • With the first usage, a slight smell can arise (minimal smoke development is also possible). This is normal and dissipates after a short time. Provide for sufficient ventilation. For example, open a window.

Operation

Adjusting the browning level

The desired level of browning, from “light” (1) to “dark” (6), can be adjusted infinitely with the toasting dial 6.

Toasting

CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE!
Do not cover the toasting slot 8 when the appliance is in operation. There will be a risk of fire! The appliance could be irreparably damaged!

NOTICE

• If you only want to put one piece of toast into the toaster, turn the toasting dial 6 down by approx. 1 level to achieve the same level of browning as with two pieces of toast.
  • After setting the desired browning level, insert the bread into the toaster slots 8.
  • Press the operating button 1 downwards. The automatic bread centring device centres the inserted bread in the toaster slots 8. During the toasting process the control lamp integrated in the “Stop” button 5 glows.
  • When the desired level of browning has been reached the toaster switches itself off automatically, the slices are ejected to the top and the control lamp goes out.

Interrupting the toasting process

If you wish to interrupt the toasting procedure, press the button “Stop” 5. The toaster switches itself off and the bread slices are ejected upwards.

Warming function

The warming function enables you to warm bread without browning it. As an example, for toast that has gone cold. The bread is only briefly warmed.

1. Insert the bread and press the operating button 1 downwards.
2. Press the “Warm up” button 4. The integrated control lamp lights up.
3. When the bread has been reheated, the appliance switches itself off automatically and the slices are ejected upwards.
   NOTE

Press the button “Warm up” button 4 again to switch off the warming function. The integrated control lamp goes out and the warming process switches to a normal toasting process.

Defrost function

By pressing the button “Defrosting” 3, also frozen bread can be thawed and toasted. With this, the toaster slowly warms the bread. Activating the defrost function will allow the frozen bread to achieve the same browning level as when you toast fresh bread.

1. After setting the desired browning level, insert the bread into the toaster slots 8.
2. Press the operating button 1 downwards.
3. Press the button “Defrosting” 3. The integrated control lamp glows.
4. When the defrosting and toasting process is finished, the toaster switches itself off automatically, the control lamp integrated in the button “Defrosting” 3 goes out and the bread slices are ejected to the top.

NOTE

Press the “Defrost” button 3 again to switch off the defrost function. The integrated control lamp goes out and the defrost process switches to a normal toasting process.

Crisping bread rolls

Never lay bread rolls directly onto the toaster, always use the bread roll rack 7.

1. Fold out the two feet of the bread roll rack 7.

2. Place the bread roll rack 7 onto the appliance so that the feet protrude into the toasting slots 8 and the bar between the toasting slots 8 fits into the arched sections on the feet. In this position, the bread roll rack 7 sits on the appliance stably.

3. Place the bread rolls onto the bread roll rack 7 and start the toasting procedure. Set the toasting dial 6 to the desired browning level. We recommend setting the browning level to 2, but the setting may vary depending on the bread type and personal taste.
   NOTE
   After toasting, the rolls will be very hot.

4. As soon as the toaster switches itself off, turn the rolls over to crisp the other side and then switch the toaster back on.

5. When you are finished with the bread roll rack 7, you can fold it for space-saving storage:

6.  Wait until the bread roll rack 7 has cooled down.

7.  Remove it from the appliance.

8. Fold the feet of the bread roll rack 7 back in.

Crumb tray

When toasting, crumbs that fall from the bread are collected in the crumb tray 10.

1. To empty crumbs from the crumb tray 0, simply pull it out.
2. Tip out the crumbs.
3. Slide the crumb tray 0 back into the toaster so that it palpably engages.
