Tips on usage

Before taking into use

• 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 electrical 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.

of toast from the toasting slots 2. For this, slide
the operating button 3 upwards.

Interrupting the toasting
process

If you wish to interrupt the toasting process, press
the STOP button 6.
The toaster switches itself off. The control lamp extin­guishes. The slices of bread are ejected.

Warming function

The warming function 5 makes it possible for you
to warm bread without browning it. For example,
toast that has gone cold. The bread is only briefly
warmed.

• Insert the bread and press the operator button 3
down.

• Activate the button for the warming function 5.
The control lamp integrated into the button for
the warming function 5 glows.

• The toaster switches itself off automatically, the
control lamp extinguishes and the bread slices
are ejected.

Thaw function

Through activation of the thaw function 4 frozen
bread can also be thawed. With this, the toaster
slowly warms the bread.

• Place the toasting dial 7 at setting 1.

• Insert the bread and press the operator button 3

down.

• Activate the button for the thaw function 4.

The control lamp integrated into the button for
the warming function 4 glows.

Dependent on the setting of the browning level,
the bread is either thawed or browned.

Crumb tray

When toasting, crumbs that fall from the bread are
collected in the crumb tray 8. To empty the crumb
tray, simply pull it 8 out to the side.

Bread roll holder

• NEVER lay bread rolls directly onto the toaster,
ALWAYS use the bread roll holder 1.

• Press the button for the bread roll holder 9
down. The bread roll holder 1 elevates itself.

• Lay the bread rolls on it and start the toasting
procedure. AS A MINIMUM, position the toa­sting dial 7 at level 3. To discover the positio­ning that best meets your personal preference,
try out several settings. Subject to the desired
level of browning, or the type of product to the
toasted, the adjustment of the toasting dial 7 is
variable.

Place the rolls onto the bread roll holder 1 so
that they cannot fall through the holder rails.
