TFT Display

This toaster is equipped with a high-definition, full-color, touchscreen TFT display. You can select any option by pressing on it, but also navigate menus by sliding your finger on the display.

1. Selecting the bread type and the ideal toasting time

To select a type of bread, either do a horizontal slide to get to the next selection, or press on the main menu icon and select which type of bread you want to toast. Access the second main menu page with a vertical slide.

You can adjust the toasting time automatically by selecting if the bread is fresh (room temperature), frozen, or if a piece of bread previously toasted just needs to be reheated.

You can adjust the browning level by sliding the cursor from level 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest).

Important!

Browning results can differ significantly between brands, as no bread recipe uses the same content of ingredients like sugar, water, or preservatives, all of which influence browning. If the toast level produces too much or too little color, you can adjust the browning time for each level to match your preference. Use the + and – controls around the toasting time to fine-adjust, by increments or decrements of 5 seconds, until you find the perfect setting for your type of bread.

Important: If you fine-adjust a setting that was already recorded in your favorites, the original favorite will need to be canceled and the favorite recorded again for the adjustment to be remembered.

2. Working mode

To start the toaster after selecting all parameters, simply press the toast lever. The countdown timer will start. You can cancel the toasting at any time by pressing the cancel button.

3. Favorites selection

When you are satisfied with a bread setting you like, you can select it as “Favorite.” Simply press on the “Heart” button near the toasting time and choose your color. There can be 6 favorites selected per person/heart color. To access your favorites easily, simply press the Favorites Selection Menu on the top right of the display, choose the heart color that represents you, and all your favorites are displayed for you to select directly.

4. Clock screensaver

This toaster is equipped with a clock screensaver (see “Parameters” for setup and clock adjustments). If no operation is detected for a period of time, the clock will be displayed. You can select from analog, digital 12-hour, or digital 24-hour (military time). After a certain time, the toaster will return to standby mode (black display). Just press anywhere on the display to wake up the toaster.

5. Parameters

Press the Parameter icon on the top right of the display. This menu will allow you to adjust sound, display color (bright mode or dark mode), the language (English, Spanish, French, or Chinese (Simplified)), display brightness, and choose the clock mode or adjust the clock.

Operating Instructions

Important!

Factors such as bread size, thickness, height, temperature, and most of all, moisture, preservative, or sugar content can all affect the evenness and the degree of browning. No bread brands are really toasting the same way. The browning levels provided are indicative only. To ensure consistent results, use the free-adjustment function to adjust results to the reference toast picture and the favorite function to keep your favorite settings in memory.

• If your bread gets squished during the toasting process, it may result in uneven browning, leaving some spots white and soft and some brown and crisp.
• If toasting multiple rounds of slices back-to-back, toasting time will be automatically adjusted or reduced for optimal results. This allows the user to still achieve the shade of their choice when the unit is already hot.
• This appliance can be used to toast plain, fresh, or frozen toast, bagels, and toaster pastries. Do not use for any other foods than the ones displayed. Never place or insert any objects in the toasting slots.
• After plugging the toaster in, the display will light up and display a short animation.
• Choose between the 6 levels of toast or the toaster pastry setting and touch the desired shade according to your preferences on how dark you like your toast.
• Press the toasting lever down until it locks in place to switch the heating elements on.

NOTE:

• The toasting lever will only remain in the downward position if the appliance is connected to an energized wall outlet.
• To stop or interrupt any cycle, touch the CANCEL button. The toasting lever and contents will pop up.
• Do not force the toasting lever up. Always use the CANCEL button to switch the appliance off.

Danger of Burns!

Always pay special attention when placing or removing contents from the toasting slots. Toasted food and toasting slots get hot. Pay attention when removing toasted food. Use suitable non-metal utensils if required. Once the toasting cycle is completed, the toasting lever and contents of the toasting slots will pop up.

NOTE:

• This appliance is equipped with a lift-up function to assist in removing toasts from the toasting slots. Pull the toasting lever upwards to lift the toasts for easier removal.
• Once you have finished using the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

TOASTING FUNCTION

• Place the bread slices into the toasting slots. Select the required browning level by touching it.
• If toasting or heating a toaster pastry, select the toaster pastry setting.
• Push the toasting lever down until it locks in place. The toasting cycle begins.
• Once the toasting cycle is completed, the toasting lever and contents will pop up.

BAGEL FUNCTION

Use the bagel function to toast bagels. Only the external heaters will be active if you select the bagel function (toast on one side).

NOTE:

• Bagels must be cut in half. Do not force them into the toasting slots.
• When using the bagel function, place the inside of the bagel facing the outer sides of the appliance. Pay attention to the respective position of each bagel half regarding each toasting slot.

FROZEN FUNCTION

Use the FROZEN function to defrost and toast plain frozen toast or frozen bagels. For bagels, please also refer to the Bagel function.

• Place the frozen bread slices into the toasting slots. Select the required browning level. Select the FROZEN setting.
• Press the toasting lever down.
