Operating Instructions

Important safety instructions

To avoid the risks of fire or injury:

• The appliance can become hot when it is in use.
Therefore, only touch the operating elements.

• Bakery products can burn! You should therefore
never locate the appliance close to or underneath
inflammable objects, especially not under curtains
or suspended cupboards.

• The appliance may not be used in close vicinity
to flammable material.

• Never cover the toaster when it is in use.

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their
safety or receive from this person instruction in
how the appliance is to be used.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• Operate the appliance only on a stable, non­slippery and level surface.

• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.

• Unwind the power cable completely from the
cable winder before using the appliance.

To avoid potentially fatal electric
shocks:

• Never insert cutlery or other metallic objects into
the toaster slots.

• Ensure that the appliance never comes into contact
with water when the power plug is inserted into
a wall socket, especially if it is being used in
a kitchen and close to the sink.

• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
or damp during operation. Lay the cable such
that it does not get clamped or otherwise damaged.

• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to
be replaced at once by qualified technicians or
our Customer Service Department.

Tips on usage

• Toast mixed-flour breads at higher browning levels
than white bread. Matured, dry bread browns
faster than fresh bread.

• Avoid using slices that are too big or too thick,
as these can easily become jammed in the
appliance.

Attention:

In the event of a malfunction and when cleaning the
appliance, remove the power plug from the wall socket.
Risk of electric shock!

• Loosen jammed slices of bread with a blunt wooden
object (e.g. a wooden spatula or spoon).
Do NOT touch the heater elements.

• Differences in bread sorts, moisture and the thickness
of individual slices influence the browning of the
toast. Therefore the bread for toasting should
be kept in sealed packaging until required.
