USING THE CONTROLS
• Make sure the lever (B) is raised and the knob
( D) is set for medium level toasting.
• Plug into the mains.
• The first time you use the toaster, to eliminate
the “new” smell operate the appliance
without bread for at least 5 minutes.
Ventilate the room.
• Place the slices of bread in the toasting slots
(A), then lower the lever (B) as far as it will
go.
Note: if the appliance is not plugged into the
mains, the lever (B) will not stay down.
• When toasting is complete, the lever rises
slowly up, together with the slices of bread.
• If the bread is not sufficiently toasted, select a
darker toasting level by turning the knob (D).
Alternatively, if the toast is too dark, select a
lighter toasting level.
• Toasting can be interrupted at any moment
simply by pressing the stop/cancel button (I).
Important: the bread toasting slots become
very hot during operation.
Do not touch!
“Defrost" function
You can toast frozen slices of bread by pressing
the "defrost" button (F) immediately after
lowering the lever (B). The toasting cycle will be
prolonged in order to achieve the desired
toasting level.
The light stays on while the defrost function is in
use.
"Reheat" function
Lower the ON lever (B) and press the "reheat"
button (G). The reheat light stays on while the
reheat function is in use. The reheat time is fixed
and cannot be adjusted by means of the toasting
level knob.
"Bagel" function (toasting on one side)
The "bagel" function toasts the bread, bagels or
muffins on one side only (the inside), while the
other side (the outside) remains warm.
Slice bagels and muffins in half before toasting.
Lower the ON lever (B) and press the "bagel"
button (H).
The bagel light stays on while the function is in
use.
Using the stop/cancel button
To stop toasting, press the stop/cancel button (I)
at any moment.
Important: do not force the ON lever (B). Always
use the stop/cancel button (I).
Crumb tray
The crumb tray (E) must be emptied regularly as
accumulated crumbs could represent a fire risk.
After toasting, allow the toaster to cool, then
extract the crumb tray (E) and empty.
"WARMING RACK" device (L)
Use this device to heat croissants.
• Fasten the removable “warming rack” to the
appliance as shown in the Figure on page 3.
• Rest the croissant on the grill.
• Turn the browning control dial (D) to the
desired position.
• Press down the control lever (B) until it clicks
into place.
• If the croissant is not warm enough, next time
select a darker level of toasting.
SUGGESTIONS
• Do not use the toaster empty (without slices of
bread).
• Do not use very thin or broken slices of
bread.
• Do not insert foods which could drip during
cooking.
Apart from making cooking difficult, they
could cause fire.
Before using the toaster, always remove any
drips from the crumb tray.
• Never use force to insert excessively large
pieces of food.
Never insert forks or other utensils into the
toaster to remove the bread. This could
damage the heating elements.
If food remains stuck in the toaster, unplug
from the mains, turn the appliance upside
down and shake lightly.
CLEANING - MAINTENANCE
• Before cleaning the toaster or carrying out
maintenance, always unplug from the mains.
• Wait for the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
• The outside of the toaster must be cleaned
with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive
cleaning products as they could damage the
surface.
•NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.
• When you have finished using the toaster,
always unplug from the mains and empty the
crumb tray on the bottom of the appliance.
• If slices of toast remain stuck in the appliance,
unplug, turn upside down and shake lightly.
•NEVER TOUCH ANY PART OF THE TOASTER,
ESPECIALLY THE INSIDE OF THE BREAD
TOASTING SLOTS, WITH SHARP UTENSILS.
