1 Safety Instructions
This appliance corresponds to accepted
technological standards with regards
to safety and to the German Appliance
Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation
to make you aware of the following
safety information.
General Safety
• The operating voltage of the appliance
and the mains voltage as well as the
type of current must match (see the
rating plate on the underside of the
appliance).
• Only plug into a correctly installed
earthed mains socket.
• Never pull the plug from the socket by
means of the mains lead!
• Prior to cleaning or in the event of a
malfunction, unplug the appliance first! Loosen jammed pieces of toast
with a blunt wooden implement (e.g.
the handle of a cooking spoon). Ensure
that you do not touch the heater elements during this process.
• Do not reach into the toasting slot
with your fingers or metal implements
– there is a risk of injury and damage
to the appliance.
• The outer housing of the toaster is
thermally insulated. However the metal
parts on the top of the appliance and
in the toasting slot will become hot –
there is a risk of burns!
• Do not use the appliance if the mains
cable is damaged or the housing is visibly damaged.
• The mains cable is of a special type and
is only to be replaced by the Customer
Care Department since special tools are
required for its replacement.

Operating Instructions
Prior to Using for the First Time
3
To avoid the build up of unpleasant
odours, the appliance should be placed
near an open window and operated a
few times at the maximum browning
setting without any bread.
Switching On (Figure 3)
0 Plug the mains plug into the mains
socket.
0 Insert bread for toasting.
0 Select the browning setting and press
down the start lever.
When the required degree of browning
3
has been reached, the toaster switches
off automatically; the slices of toast
are lifted up ready for removal. By lifting the start lever (bread lift func-tion) the toasted bread can be lifted
sufficiently such that it is easy to
remove (Figure 4).
Adjusting the Browning Setting
(Figure 2)
Using the rotary knob you can continuously adjust the browning setting
from 1-6 as required. Setting 1 for
lightest browning. Setting 6 for darkest
browning.
Use a setting between 1 and 3 when
you first start toasting. If the toast is
not browned to your liking, set the
adjuster lower or higher, higher for
example when toasting rye or dark
bread. When toasting only 1 slice and
also when toasting bread that is no
longer fresh, use a slightly lower
browning setting.
We would recommend to adjust a set-
3
ting that the toast is browned to a
„golden yellow“ or „light-brown“
colour. The electronic toasting time
regulator ensures that once a browning
setting has been chosen, the results are
always the same for the same type of
bread.
Stop Button
(Figure 2)
If you want to interrupt toasting, press
the stop button. The appliance
switches off.
Once chosen, the browning setting
remains unchanged.
Defrost Button
(Figure 2)
Also press the defrost button when
toasting frozen bread. This lengthens
the toasting time.
Warm Up Button
(Figure 2)
To warm up toasted bread also press
the warm up button to keep the toast
warm and crisp.
Roll Rack (Figure 5)
Due to the nature of the function of
1
the appliance, the roll rack will become
hot during toasting, therefore never
touch the metal parts.
0 First, make sure the toaster is switched
off.
Hold the roll rack by the hand grips
and put it onto the toasting slot.
0 Place rolls or other bread for crisping
on the rack, turn the browning control
to the required browning setting.
0 Switch on the toaster using the start
lever.
0 When the toaster has switched off,
turn the bread. Repeat the process.
Never place rolls or bread directly on
3
the toasting slot.
0 To remove the roll rack, first allow it to
cool down. Hold the roll rack by the
hand grips and remove it upwards.

Cleaning and Care
(Figure 6)
0 Before cleaning, always unplug and
leave the toaster to cool down.
Crumbs dropping from the bread dur-
3
ing toasting collect in the crumb
drawer.
0 Pull out to the side and remove the
crumbs.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners
3
to clean the appliance. Only clean the
housing with a dry or slightly moist
cloth.
Liquid must not be applied to the
3
toaster, the toaster must also never be
immersed in liquid.
Storage of Bread for Toasting
(Figure 7)
In order to always obtain evenly
3
browned toast, opened packets of
bread should be resealed and stored
with the end that has been started
downwards.
