User manual POLTI EASY BRUNCH 1500

[. . . ] â· Do not leave the appliance outdoors where it will be exposed to the weather. â· Check that the appliance is unplugged and has cooled down before performing maintenance of any kind. â· Do not use the appliance where there is an explosion hazard. â· This appliance must be kept under surveillance at all times, and must never be used near curtains or other combustible materials. [. . . ] â· Make sure the appliance is unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance work. â· Use only original spare parts and accessories approved by the manufacturer to ensure product safety. â· Remove all packaging and protections from the toaster before using it for the first time. â· Work the toaster without any bread in it the first time you use it, to heat up the elements and burn off any chemical residues or dust which may have accumulated on the appliance in the factory. â· If using fresh or whole-wheat bread, set the temperature control to the highest settings. Thick slices (including bagels) require a longer toasting time, in some cases much longer, as more water has to evaporate. â· Particularly thick slices may even need two toasting cycles. â· When toasting bread containing raisins and similar additions, remove raisins from the outside of the slice before toasting it, so that they will not fall into the toaster and stick to the grating protecting the heating elements. â· To toast a single slice of bread, set the temperature control to one of the lowest positions. The toaster is designed to heat the entire volume of two slices; reduce toasting time to avoid burning a single slice. â· Pastries and croissants: be careful when toasting pastries and croissants as the filling can become very hot before the outer surfaces are toasted. Cleaning and maintenance Always make sure that the appliance is unplugged and has cooled down before cleaning the toaster. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth and dry it well. If you wish to use liquid detergent, apply it to the cloth, not the appliance. To remove crumbs inside the toaster, pull out the removable crumb tray and wipe it with a damp cloth. Never use the toaster without the crumb tray. To remove any remaining bread crumbs from the toaster, hold it upside-down and shake it gently. Never put a hard metal utensil or a pointed object into the toaster slots, as this could create a hazard for the user and damage the appliance. IMPORTANT: the first time you use the toaster, operate it for at least 5 minutes with no bread in it. This will allow the appliance to burn off oil and dust accumulated in the factory. Make sure that the crumb tray (D) is correctly assembled in its place. â· Unwind the power cord and plug it into a suitable socket.
