If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Before first use

Remove all stickers and any packing or printed material that might have fallen inside during shipping or handling. Do not probe inside the toaster with a metal object.
Clean the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth.
Use the toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
Turn the browning control to the maximum position and press the breadlift down. In this way, you will burn off any dust that has fallen into the toaster during production or transport.

Operation

If necessary, shorten the cord by wrapping it under the base (5 – Fig. A).

Plug in the toaster.
Insert the bread in the slot (Fig. C).
Remember that, as bread is not normally square, you may need to turn the bread on its side to get a better fit and optimize the toasting surface area.
Choose the desired browning level (Browning levels 1 to 6, from light to dark) or the “Reheat function” (15 – Fig. B).
Push the lever down until it clicks to activate the toasting cycle (Fig. C).
If needed, select the additional functions Defrost (10 – Fig. B) or Bagel (14 – Fig. B) or the two combined.
The heating element is now activated. The bread will be centered in the breadlift automatically for toasting.
The toasted bread will pop up automatically when the toast is ready.
If the toast is not brown enough and requires just a little extra time, use the reheat button to extend the toasting time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the surfaces in good condition, clean regularly after use. Let them cool first. Never use products that contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, then wipe over thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Food stains or residues

Cleaning the optional sandwich rack and bun warmer

Wash the sandwich rack and bun warmer by hand in warm, soapy water. After washing, rinse them and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
