IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2. Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the
appliance.

3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

4. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or
toaster in water or other liquid.

5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or
near children.

6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.

12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall
outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug
from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Oversize foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be
inserted in a toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric
shock.

15. A fire may occur if toasters are covered or touching flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in
operation.

16. Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

17. IMPORTANT: If the bread carriage handle gets blocked during use
(e.g. because the bread slices are too thick) and the bread starts
burning, unplug the appliance immediately and let it cool down
before emptying and cleaning it. Should the problem persist,
contact a competent qualified electrician.

18. Do not use the appliance for defrosting food other than bread
and only insert unbuttered slices of bread of which the thickness
does not risk to prevent the bread from coming up. Be extremely
strict about this as toasters are the cause of many fires when
these elementary safety precautions are not observed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE USING THE TOASTER FOR THE FIRST TIME

CAUTION: the bread carriage handle will not stay down if the
appliance is not plugged in!

In order to eliminate any manufacturing residues, operate the toaster
a couple of times without bread with the browning control selector
on a medium power level. Some smoke might escape.

OPERATION

• Before using your appliance for the first time, check if it is clean
(see “Maintenance and cleaning”) as it comes into direct
contact with bread. Check if any object has fallen into the slots.

• Place the bread slices in the slots (for the French bread, cut a loaf
shorter than the slots, then cut it in two pieces along its length.).
Your appliance is provided to receive French bread, but also
pieces of toast or other bread slices if their thickness and their
length are shorter than the one of the slots.

• Press down the bread carriage handle until it stops (in the same
time, the grid inside the slots will tighten around the bread in
order to keep it away from the heating wires). Then release the
pressure and the handle will stay in the lower position, which
means that the heating process has begun. If the handle comes
up immediately, check if the appliance is plugged in, as the
bread carriage cannot be locked if the toaster is not plugged-in.

• You can adjust the browning intensity to obtain a more or less
toasted bread by positioning the browning control selector to
one of the degrees marked from 1 to 6. Therefore you only have
to turn clockwise to increase the intensity, and anticlockwise to
decrease it. The higher the number is, the more toasted the
bread will be.

• During operation, if you think that the bread is toasted enough or
for another reason, you can stop the heating process, simply by
pressing the cancel button.

• The reheat button allows you to reheat already toasted bread or
to toast bread which is not toasted enough during a short time,
without modifying the browning degree.

• The defrost button allows you to toast the bread that has been
frozen beforehand.

• If you want to reheat bagels, push the "BAGEL" button. Only one
side in the toaster slot will then be heating.

• Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down
before handling or storing it.

• A cord winder consisting of 4 hooks is foreseen on the bottom of
the appliance. When you store your appliance, wind the cord
around the hooks.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Before attempting any cleaning operation, make sure the toaster
is unplugged from the supply socket and fully cooled down.

• To remove bread crumbs, slide the crumb trays situated on the
bottom of the appliance, and slide them out from the back for
removal.

• Caution! It is very important to empty the crumb trays regularly.
Crumbs that have accumulated in the toaster might burn and the
appliance might catch fire.

• To clean the exterior surfaces, simply wipe over with a soft damp
cloth.

• THE TOASTER SHALL NEVER BE IMMERSED IN WATER.

• All other maintenance and repair should be performed by a

qualified technician.

15. Puede ocurrir un incendio si el aparato está en funcionamiento y
se encuentra en contacto o cubierto con materiales inflamables,
incluyendo cortinas, tapicerías, paredes, etc.

16. No trate de despegar comida adherida a la tostadora mientras
ésta esté enchufada.

17. IMPORTANTE: Si la palanca de sujeción está bloqueada durante
el uso (por ejemplo. porque las rajas de pan son demasiado
gruesas) y el pan se quema, desenchufe el aparato
inmediatamente y déjelo enfriar antes de vaciar y limpiarlo. Si a
caso el problema sigue, contacta a un centro de servicio
autorizado o a una persona similar calificada.

18. No utilice este aparato para la descongelación de alimentos

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO

Algunos aparatos están provistos con un enchufe polarizado (una
pata es más ancha que la otra). Para reducir el riesgo de choque
eléctrico, este enchufe calza en el tomacorriente polarizado de una
sola manera. Si el enchufe no cabe totalmente en el tomacorriente,
gire el enchufe. Si aún así no calza, consulte a un servicio técnico
cualificado. No intente anular esta característica de seguridad.
Para los aparatos provistos con un enchufe clásico, basta con
insertar el enchufe en la toma de corriente.

.

INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE

El cable de alimentación del aparato es un cable corto a fin de
disminuir el riesgo de accidentes (caídas al tropezar con él, etc.)
Puede utilizar un alargador si es necesario.

• Asegúrese de que el nivel eléctrico del cable es igual o

mayor que el indicado. Una extensión con un bajo nivel
