[. . . ] Burns can occur from touching the hot parts. 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. [. . . ] € 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. 9 Before using for the first time – Clean the toaster thoroughly (see General care and cleaning). € Switch on the toaster without any bread inserted and go through at least five toasting cycles at the maximum temperature setting. € Allow the toaster to cool down between cycles. € Note: the operating lever locks down only when the plug is inserted. € 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. If a bread slice becomes stuck and cannot be ejected after the toasting cycle is complete, the toaster will automatically switch off. If this occurs, disconnect the applance from the mains and remove the bread slice as described in the section ‘General information’. Adjusting the degree of browning The desired degree of browning can be varied by turning the adjustable browning control knob. In the case of sliced bread specifically intended for toasting, we recommend a browning control setting of 3 to 4. Operation – After adjusting the browning control, insert the bread into the toast slot and press the operating lever down. € 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. The toasting time may be shortened as a result of fluctuations in the power supply. 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. This function is shown by the indicator lamp. Warm-up function The warm-up function is suitable for reheating bread which has already been toasted.
