Operation
Before using for the first time
- Remove all packaging completely; take special care that no packaging material is left inside the toast slots.
- Clean the appliance (see Cleaning and care).
- Switch on the appliance and, with nothing inserted, go through at least five toasting cycles at the maximum temperature setting.
- Allow the appliance to cool down between cycles.
- Note: the operating lever locks down only when the plug is inserted.
- When switching the appliance on for the first time, the toaster may emit a slight smell and a little smoke, but this will disappear after a short while. Ensure suffficient ventilation.
Adjusting the degree of browning
The desired degree of browning is determined by turning the adjustable
browning control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise
Dark: turn the control knob clockwise
For sandwiches, a setting between 5 and 6 is generally recommended.
Operation
- Follow the Practical hints when preparing a sandwich.
- Caution: When using the sandwich holder, grip it only by its handle; its metal parts become very hot; otherwise there is a danger of burns.
- Open the sandwich holder.
- Place the prepared sandwich on one half of the sandwich holder, then bring the two halves together.
- Adjust the browning control, lower the sandwich holder into the toast slot and press the operating lever down.
- The indicator light comes on.
- Once the pre-set degree of browning has been reached, the appliance will switch off automatically and the indicator light will go out.
- Lift out the sandwich holder.
- Open the holder and remove the sandwich.
- To achieve regular browning when toasting several sandwiches in succession, allow the appliance to cool down for 60 – 90 seconds after each cycle.
- The toasting time may be shortened as a result of fluctuations in the power supply.
- Do not cover the toast slots during operation.
Practical hints
Practical hints for best results when toasting sandwiches:
- A sandwich should consist of two slices of sandwich bread with a filling in between.
- All types of filling should be sliced (eg cooked ham), as there is a danger of food falling down into the interior if other kinds of filling, such as tuna fish, are used.
- All common types of sandwich bread can be used.
- White bread should preferably be one day old when it is used for sandwiches.
- The slices for the filling (cheese, ham etc) should be cut to match the sandwich shape.
Interrupting the toasting cycle
If you want to interrupt the toasting cycle, press the eject button.
