The bread should therefore be kept in a sealed wrapping. 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. 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. - 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.

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 14 mm.
