[. . . ] Always position the appliance on a level heat-resistant surface. Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. [. . . ] When switching on the appliance for the first time, the toaster may emit a slight smell and a little smoke, but this will disappear after a short while. Operation General information - Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than fresh bread. For brown bread, adjust the browning control to a higher setting than for toasting white bread. - Do not use slices which are too thick or too big, as they may become stuck in the toaster. the thickness of the slices to be toasted should not exceed 15 mm. In case of problems or malfunctions during use, and before cleaning, always remove the plug from the wall socket. - To remove a slice stuck in the toast slot, use a blunt wooden implement (eg a brush handle). never touch the metal heating elements. - Variations in bread type, humidity content and thickness of the slices result in different degrees of browning. The bread should therefore be kept in a sealed wrapping. Before using for the first time - Clean the toaster thoroughly (see Adjusting the degree of browning The desired degree of browning can be varied by turning the adjustable browning control knob. - Once the desired degree of browning is reached, the toaster switches off automatically; the slices are ejected, and can be removed once the indicator lamp goes off. - Easy lift-out: to facilitate lifting the bread slices out, push the operating lever up. - To achieve regular browning when toasting several slices in succession, allow the toaster to cool down for 60 - 90 seconds after each cycle. Do not cover the toast slot during operation. Defrost function The defrost function may be used in addition to the normal action when toasting deepfrozen bread.
