[. . . ] This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives. Important safety instructions There is always a danger that bread may catch fire, e. g. if it is toasted more than once or comes into contact with the heating elements. Therefore ensure that the appliance is not positioned or operated in close proximity to curtains or any such inflammable materials. [. . . ] 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. Ensure sufficient ventilation. 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). - 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 5 Adjusting the degree of browning The desired degree of browning can be varied by turning the adjustable browning control knob. Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise. 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. [. . . ] Allow for a sufficient cooling-down period before winding up the power cord after use. Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
