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).
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do
not let young children play with any parts of the appliance. The appliance is not intended
for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. For storage always keep the
14
entire appliance dry and clean and where young children cannot reach it. Do not place
any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any part of it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table
or counter. Do not place any cloth or tissue beneath or on the appliance, to avoid any
risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Do not place any objects (i.e. cold toast) on
the appliance during operation. Always keep the table or counter clean and dry and
immediately wipe off spilled liquids. Do not place the appliance near the edge of the
table or counter or on inclined or wet surfaces or where it can fall.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (heater, gas burner,
grill or oven).
• During toasting, cakes and pastries can fall to pieces, bend and catch fire when overheated.
Do not leave the appliance unattended, when connected to the power
supply. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply, when the appliance
is not in use and before cleaning or moving. Always allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning. Always grasp the appliance on its side walls for moving or lifting it.
• Only toast slices of simple cakes and pastries without any filling or glaze (i.e. jam,
mayonnaise, or icing) and of suitable size (13 cm x 13 cm; 1/2 to 3 cm thick). The slices
may not protrude the slots or stick or jam in the slots. Do not use the toaster for toasting or
cooking of very dry cakes and pastries (i.e. cookies) filled rolls or sandwiches.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any hard and sharp objects (i.e. metal
scouring pads) for cleaning. Clean the toaster with a damped sponge or tissue and carefully
dry the exterior of the toaster after cleaning. Do not handle the appliance or any part of
it with violence. Never place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic
dishwasher.
• Do not immerse the toaster or power cord in water, or allow moisture to come in contact
with the appliance. Do not insert any foreign objects in the slots and do not poke in
the slots, to avoid risk of electric shock and damage of the heating elements.
If smoke comes out of the slots or the bread crumbles or bends in the slots, then immediately
cancel the toasting process by pressing the TOAST/STOPP button and unplug the toaster. Wait
for the toaster to cool down, before carefully removing jammed bread slices. Ensure not to
damage the heating elements on each side of the slots.
Always operate the toaster with the crumb tray in place.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
• During operation do not place any objects (i.e. cold bread slices) or tissue on the
appliance, to avoid overheating of the heating elements.
• Always keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other heat-sensitive
objects away from the slots during operation.

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,
grill or oven). Do not place the appliance on the power cord. If the power cord warms
up during operation or is likely to be damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised
service centre. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not immerse the toaster or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or
drip any liquids on the toaster or power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the appliance, immediately press the
TOAST/STOPP button, unplug the power cord and dry the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
