Important
.
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save
them for future reference.
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance
corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the
appliance.
◗ Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
◗ If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service
centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
◗ Do not immerse the appliance or the mains cord in water or any
other liquid.
◗ Always unplug the appliance after use.
◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗ Do not let the appliance operate unattended. Do not operate it
under or near curtains or other flammable materials or under wall
cabinets, as bread may burn.
◗ Avoid touching the metal parts of the appliance, as they get very hot
during toasting. Lift the appliance by its plastic body.
◗ The sandwich toaster is intended for household use only and may
only be used indoors.
◗ To avoid the risk of fire, frequently remove crumbs from the crumb
tray. Make sure the crumb tray is correctly placed.
◗ Immediately unplug the appliance if fire or smoke is observed.
◗ If the filled baskets get stuck inside the appliance, remove the plug
from the wall socket, let the appliance cool down completely and
carefully remove the baskets from the appliance. Do not use a knife
or a sharp tool, as these may cause damage to the heating elements.
◗ Oversized foods and metal foil packages must not be inserted into
the appliance, as this may cause fire or electrical shock.
◗ Do not place the appliance on a hot surface.
◗ Always use the bread baskets to insert sandwiches or slices of bread
into the appliance. Never put sandwiches or slices of bread in the
appliance without the bread baskets, as this may lead to a hazardous
situation.
Before first use
.
1 Remove any stickers and wipe the body of the appliance and the
bread baskets with a damp cloth.
2 Before using the appliance for the first time, we advise you to let the
appliance complete a few toasting cycles without sandwiches on the
highest browning setting in a properly ventilated room.
This will burn off any dust that may have accumulated on the heating
elements and will prevent unpleasant smells during toasting.
Using the appliance
.
1 Put the appliance on a stable and flat surface, away from curtains and
other combustible materials.
2 Put the plug in the wall socket.
◗ You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the
brackets in the base of the appliance (fig. 2).
Toasting sandwiches or bread
Never let the appliance operate unattended.
1 Put a filling, e.g. ham and cheese, between two thin slices of bread.
You can also use the appliance to toast separate slices of bread without a
filling.
2 Lift the bread baskets out of the appliance by means of the handles.
3 Put a sandwich or one slice of bread in each basket (fig. 3).
Make sure the sandwiches or slices of bread go all the way down inside the
baskets, for a good and even toasting result.
4 Insert the bread baskets into the appliance.
5 Select the desired browning setting (fig. 4).
Select a low setting (1-2) for lightly toasted sandwiches or slices of bread.
Select a high setting (5-7) for darkly toasted sandwiches or slices of bread.
Select the defrost function — (settings 6 to 7, depending on the desired
browning degree) for toasting frozen bread.
If the bread is damp or if you have put a lot of ingredients between the
slices, the appliance will need a longer toasting time to produce the same
toasting result.
6 Push the toasting lever down to switch the appliance on (fig. 5).
The metal parts of the appliance will get hot during toasting. Be careful
not to touch them.
The toasting lever will only stay down if the appliance has been connected
to the mains.
◗ When the toasted sandwiches or slices of bread are ready, the
toasting lever pops up and the appliance switches off automatically.
◗ You can stop the toasting process at any time by pressing the stop
button (fig. 6).
7 If the filled baskets get stuck inside the appliance, remove the plug
from the wall socket, let the appliance cool down completely and
carefully remove the baskets from the appliance.
Do not use a knife or another sharp metal tool to do this.
8 Lift the bread baskets out of the appliance by means of the handles.
Avoid touching the metal parts, as they get hot during toasting.
9 Squeeze the handle of the bread basket (1) and turn it upside down
to remove the sandwich or slice of bread (2) (fig. 7).
Cleaning
.
Do not immerse the appliance or mains cord in water or any other
liquid.

baskets out of the appliance.
