Important Safeguards for Daily Operation

• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles.
Do not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Do not attempt
to operate the appliance using any parts or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.

• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation–especially the power cord.
The pins of the power cord must be clean, smooth, and without discolouration. Do not
operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to
avoid risk of fire, electric shock or any other damage or injuries to persons. The appliance is
likely to be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (i.e. overheating,
mechanical or electric shock, moisture) or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed
parts, or distortions. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire
appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for
examination and repair.

• Bread, cakes and pastries can catch fire, when overheated! During operation keep the
appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 20 cm on each side to furniture, walls,
boards, curtains and other objects. Do not operate the appliance near inflammable liquids (i.e.
high-proof alcohol) or beneath any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials or beneath
boards or drop-lights to avoid damage caused by steam, condensate or fire. Before
operating, always ensure that there are no foreign objects in the slots. Do not insert
wrapped foods (i.e. kitchen foil), to avoid risk of fire, electric shock, and damage.

Immediately unplug the appliance, if there is any kind of malfunction or
problem (i.e. overheating or smoke is coming from the slots).

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect
the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with
protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Before operation completely
unwind the power cord. Do not use any extension cord or multi socket outlet.
The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating
current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact
your electrician for further information.

• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted
or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or power cord
hang over the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by
the power cord, especially when young children are near. Always grasp the plug to
disconnect the appliance from the power outlet. Do not touch the plug or appliance with
wet hands, when the plug is connected to the power supply.

• Always switch off (TOAST/STOPP button) and unplug the appliance

when not in use and before moving or cleaning the appliance. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply.

• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas burner,

First use

Unpack the appliance carefully and check, if there are any parts damaged or missing.
CAUTION: It is important to carefully remove all packing and shipping materials (in the

slots) as well as any price-tags, but do not remove any warning or model labels on the
appliance. Ensure that there are no foreign objects (i.e. packing materials) in the slots before
operating the appliance.

Important: Note: The TOAST/STOPP button only operates when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.

When using the toaster for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze, because of
the first heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern. To prevent
smell and taste of your food from being affected, you should heat the appliance on browning
level 7 before placing any cakes and pastries in the slots (see: Operating Your Design
Toaster Advanced Automatic’). If the burnt smell occurs again on later use, clean the
toaster (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even after
thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return the appliance to an authorised service centre
for examination and repair.

Operating Your Design Toaster Advanced Automatic

WARNING: Always completely unwind the power cord, before connecting the appliance

to the power supply. Ensure, that there are no foreign objects (i.e. shipping material) in
the slots. Do not insert any foreign objects as knives, spoons, or other cooking utensils
in the slots, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock, burns or damage. Always handle with
care, especially, when removing jammed bread slices.

Important: Ensure, that the crumb tray is in place before operating the toaster.
Otherwise crumbs may become charred on the bottom of the toaster and stick to the surfaces.

1. Prepare the toaster for use:
Completely unwind the power cord, place the toaster on an appropriate surface (level,
dry, and heat-resistant) and connect the power plug to an appropriate power outlet (see:
‘Important Safeguards for Electrical Devices’).

2. Using a sharp knife, cut the food (bread or similar cakes and pastries) in slices of
even thickness and appropriate size: max. 13 x 13 cm; 1/2 to 3 cm thick. Try to get
a smooth cut and remove the crumbs.

3. Insert a slice of bread in each slot of the toaster.

will automatically be lowered and centred in the slot
(picture A). The TOAST/STOPP button illuminates red.

Note: The TOAST/STOPP- button only operates when the appliance is connected to
the power supply. Pulling the plug during operation the bread remains in the slots.
Reconnecting the appliance the bread automatically raises.

The toasting process is automatically controlled. Shortly before the toasting process is finished
the power indicator of the TOAST/STOPP button will start blinking. When the selected
browning level is reached, the toaster switches off automatically, and the power indicator of
the TOAST/STOPP button eliminates.

Tips for Best Results

• You may cancel the toasting process at any time; simply press the TOAST/STOPP button.

• The required browning level depends on your special liking and the type and freshness of
the toasted cakes and pastries. For example: a short toasting time (low browning level)
is sufficient for toasting raisin pastry and fine white bread; but for toasting rye bread you
must select a higher browning level to get a similar result.

• You can crisp up rolls by cutting the rolls in halves, using a sharp knife, and activating the
EINSEITIG TOASTEN function. Ensure, that the slices are max. 3 cm thick and will not
stick in the slots (see: ‘The EINSEITIG TOASTEN Function’). Alternatively, to toast rolls as
a whole, place the rolls tray on the toaster and then place the rolls on the rolls tray.

• Ensure to make an even and smooth cut. Use a sharp bread knife for cutting. Remove
crumbs and protruding rims, especially when crisping up halved rolls.

WARNING: Never insert your fingers in the slots, while the toaster is connected to the
power supply. Always switch off and unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance
to cool, before removing any jammed bread or crumbs.

• If bread sticks or jams in the slots, switch off (TOAST/STOPP button) and unplug the
toaster and let the toaster cool down. Then remove the bread slices carefully and without
violence. Ensure not to touch the heating elements on the sides of the slots to avoid damage.

• To check the doneness during the toasting process, just press the TOAST/STOPP button.
The toasting process will get stopped. When pressing the TOAST/STOPP button again
you start a new toasting process. Ensure to lower the browning control level to prevent
the bread from burning.

• If the toaster is not operated for a few minutes the buttons illuminate goes out. Using
one of the buttons of the toaster will illuminate the selected button again.

• It is recommended to empty the crumb tray after each use to avoid crumbs becoming
charred and sticking on the crumb tray (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Do not use the toaster
without the crumb tray in place.
