READ THE FOLLOWING INTSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

USING THE CONTROLS

• Make sure the lever (B) is raised and the knob ( D) is set for medium level toasting.

• Plug into the mains.

• The first time you use the toaster, to eliminate the “new” smell operate the appliance without bread for at least 5 minutes. Ventilate the room.

• Place the slices of bread in the toasting slots (A), then lower the lever (B) as far as it will go.

Note: if the appliance is not plugged into the mains, the lever (B) will not stay down.

• When toasting is complete, the lever rises slowly up, together with the slices of bread.

• If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a darker toasting level by turning the knob (D). Alternatively, if the toast is too dark, select a lighter toasting level.

• Toasting can be interrupted at any moment simply by pressing the stop/cancel button (I). Important: the bread toasting slots become very hot during operation. Do not touch!

“Defrost" function

You can toast frozen slices of bread by pressing the "defrost" button (F) immediately after lowering the lever (B). The toasting cycle will be prolonged in order to achieve the desired toasting level. The light stays on while the defrost function is in use.

"Reheat" function

Lower the ON lever (B) and press the "reheat" button (G). The reheat light stays on while the reheat function is in use. The reheat time is fixed and cannot be adjusted by means of the toasting level knob.

"Bagel" function (toasting on one side)

The "bagel" function toasts the bread, bagels or muffins on one side only (the inside), while the other side (the outside) remains warm. Slice bagels and muffins in half before toasting. Lower the ON lever (B) and press the "bagel" button (H). The bagel light stays on while the function is in use.

Using the stop/cancel button

To stop toasting, press the stop/cancel button (I) at any moment. Important: do not force the ON lever (B). Always use the stop/cancel button (I).

Crumb tray

The crumb tray (E) must be emptied regularly as accumulated crumbs could represent a fire risk. After toasting, allow the toaster to cool, then extract the crumb tray (E) and empty.

"WARMING RACK" device (L)

Use this device to heat croissants.

• Fasten the removable “warming rack” to the appliance as shown in the Figure on page 3.

• Rest the croissant on the grill.

• Turn the browning control dial (D) to the desired position.

• Press down the control lever (B) until it clicks into place.

• If the croissant is not warm enough, next time select a darker level of toasting.

SUGGESTIONS

• Do not use the toaster empty (without slices of bread).

• Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.

• Do not insert foods which could drip during cooking. Apart from making cooking difficult, they could cause fire. Before using the toaster, always remove any drips from the crumb tray.

• Never use force to insert excessively large pieces of food. Never insert forks or other utensils into the toaster to remove the bread. This could damage the heating elements. If food remains stuck in the toaster, unplug from the mains, turn the appliance upside down and shake lightly.

CLEANING - MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the toaster or carrying out maintenance, always unplug from the mains.

• Wait for the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

• The outside of the toaster must be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning products as they could damage the surface.

• NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.

• When you have finished using the toaster, always unplug from the mains and empty the crumb tray on the bottom of the appliance.

• If slices of toast remain stuck in the appliance, unplug, turn upside down and shake lightly.

• NEVER TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER,

ESPECIALLY THE INSIDE OF THE BREAD TOASTING SLOTS, WITH SHARP UTENSILS.
