BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully wipe the outside of the appliance to remove
any dust that may have accumulated. Dry with a dry
cloth. Remove any stickers. Do not immerse the sup-
ply cord in water or other liquids. With the window
open, operate the toaster without any bread inside at
least three times at the highest toasting level setting.
Then let it cool down.
Remove any protective wrapping before po-
sitioning the toaster.
USINg THE TOASTER
1. Put the bread to be toasted into the bread slot.
No more than two slices can be introduced every
time.
Make sure the crumb tray is perfectly in
place before using.
2. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
3. Set the toasting level to the desired colour using
the toasting level knob. The lowest level is 1 and
the highest level is 7.
If you toast only one slice, set the toasting
level lower than for two slices. If you toast
the food continuously, the toasting colour of the
different slices can be slightly different or darker,
even if the same level is used.
4. Pull down the operating lever until it engages:
toasting will begin at once. Once the bread has
been toasted to the preset level, the operating
lever will automatically spring up.
The operating lever can rest on the bottom
of the slot only if the plug was connected.
5. During the toasting process, if the browning is
satisfactory, press the CANCEL button to stop
toasting.
6. If the bread was taken out of the FREEZER, set
the toasting level according to your preference.
Press the DEFROST button to toast it to your
desired color, then pull down the operation lever
until it is in place.
7. If you want to reheat any cold toasted bread,
press the REHEAT button. Toasting time is fixed
in this mode: when time is over the operating
lever will automatically spring up and stop the
reheating process.

(only on some models)
Preparation of sandwiches or toasts
The toaster is equipped with a cooking cycle specific
for the preparation of sandwiches or toasts:
1. Insert the sandwich into the rack.
2. Insert the rack into the slot.
3. Lower the operating lever.
If the toaster starts to smoke, press the CAN-
CEL button to stop toasting immediately.
Avoid toasting food with extremely runny in-
gredients such as butter.
Be careful not to damage the internal mecha-
nism or heating elements when removing
the bread.
Toast any items only until they are golden
brown and not brown or too dark.
Remove any burnt edges. Do not over-toast
food containing starch - especially grain and po-
tato products - to reduce the production of acryl
amides. If a slice gets stuck at the end of the toast-
ing process, pull the power plug and carefully re-
move the bread after the toaster has cooled down.
Depending on the quantity or quality of stuf-
fing, it can happen that the inside of the
sandwich is not warm enough or completely melt:
in case, please leave the sandwich into the slot for
about one minute after ending the toasting.

3. Pull out the crumb tray from the bottom of the
toaster and empty it. If the toaster is used fre-
quently, accumulated bread crumbs should be
removed at least once a week. Make sure the
crumb tray is completely closed before using the
toaster again.
4. When the toaster is not used or is stored, the
power cord may be wound under the bottom of
the toaster.
5. Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners
on the appliance.
6. If you use specific products for cleaning steel,
be careful with the chrome parts. They could get
stained.
DISPOSAL OF OLD
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Wa-
ste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electri-
cal appliances must not be disposed of in
the normal unsorted municipal waste stre-
am.
Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected. Con-
sumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
