Given the many standards in effect, if this
toaster is used in a country other than the

immerse the cord, the plug or the toaster in
water or any other liquid.
Do not use metal utensils in the toasting
mechanism, which could cause short circuits
or electric shock (spoon, knife...).

1 • Before using for the first
time
Unpack the toaster and remove any labels.
Read the manual and carefully follow the
instructions.
Unwind the supply cord completely.
Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp
sponge. Dry thoroughly. Plug in the toaster.

Press unto the start/stop button –
Fig 3
Operate the toaster 1 or 2 times while empty
to eliminate “that new smell”. Open a window.
2 • Helpful hints
Differences in moisture levels from one bread
to another can result in varying toasting times
and browning levels. Below are some general
recommendations :
Slightly dry bread should be toasted on a
lower setting.
Very fresh bread or whole wheat bread should
be toasted on a slightly darker setting. Breads
with uneven surfaces, such as English muffins,
may require a darker setting.
When toasting items with fruit, such as raisin
bread or tea-cakes, remove any loose fruit
before toasting. (raisins may fall into the
appliance and create a fire hazard).
When toasting bagels, slice the bagel into two
equal halves before toasting.
If you are toasting one slice of bread, set the
browning control at a lower setting.
Use caution when warming or toasting sugar
coated or filled items (such as toaster
pastries).
Always set the browning control to the lowest
setting.
3 • Inserting the bread
Place a slice of bread in the toasting slot
– Fig 1.
4 • Toasting
Select your desired toasting level by pressing
the browning control button –
Fig 2.
An indicator lignt will show your selection.
USING THE TOASTER
NOTE On this motorized model, each
time you plug in the appliance, or in case
of an electrical power failure, the toaster
will initialize.
* depending on model
23
1
NOTE Any bread protruding out of the
slots will not be toasted.
Never leave toaster unattended during
use. Use caution when toasting sugar
coated or filled items (such as toaster
pastries). Always set browning control to
lowest setting.
Before toasting, be sure that toaster is not
under cabinets or other flammable
materials such as curtains.

ENG
Press the start/stop button – Fig 3.
The toaster locks into the low position ; the
bread slices are automatically centred for an
even toasting on both sides.
For models with Photosensor system, you will
always get the same level of browning.
Whatever the type of bread ( toast, baguette…)
or its state of conservation (frozen, fresh,
stale), the toaster will, on a selected position,
provide the same level of browning, thanks to
its sensors*.
Remove crumbs from the crumb
tray after each use ( toasting or reheating).
To open the crumb tray, press on it
once – Fig 10.
It is possible that the browning sensors* can
be disturbed by external elements (e.g.:
voltage…) or that browning is slightly different
from one bread to another. If this difference is
too significant, contact your local approved
after-sales service centre (see enclosed list).
5•To stop toasting
When toasting is complete, the bread control
lever will unlock and the toasted slices of
bread will pop up –
Fig 4. A “BIP” alerts you.
After 10 minutes of inactivity the appliance will
automatically shut down, returning to the
present settings for next use.
The toasting cycle may be interrupted at any
time by pressing the « start/stop » button
–
Fig 5.
When a slice of bread is jammed, the
appliance attempts to pop the slice up three
times. If it fails, the appliance emits a “BIP”
several times. If this happens, press on the
start/stop button, uplug the appliance and
carefully remove the slice of bread.
6 • Reheat top
The warming top allows you to warm up
bread rolls and croissants.
Press on the browning control button to
position the indicator light on the reheat
position – Fig 6
.
Put the rolls or the croissants directly on the
reheat top –
Fig 7.
Press on the start/stop button –
Fig 8.
The appliance starts and the heat diffuses
through the top to reheat rolls and croissants
thoroughly. Once the cycle is finished, to heat
the other side, turn the rolls over with tongs or
kitchen gloves if necessary (tongs and gloves
are not provided with the appliance) – Fig 9.
Do not press on the start/stop button, simply
leave to warm for 1-2 minutes.
The reheat cycle may be interrupted at any
time by pressing the « start/stop » button.
WARNING
The warming top is
extremely hot. Do not touch it.
