General information
The appliance has the following functions:
-
Toaster unit with automatic centre
alignment for bread slices, electronic
browning control and an infinitely
adjustable browning control knob.
-
Grill compartment with upper and lower
heating elements, separate control
switches for upper and lower heat with
integral indicator lamps. Suitable for
cooking ‘au gratin’, re-heating and
grilling.
-
The grill compartment and toaster unit
can be used at the same time.
Wind-up power cord storage
Unwind the power cord completely before
operation and ensure that it is led away from
the side of the appliance. Do not allow the
power cord to touch any hot parts of the
appliance. Allow for a sufficient cooling-
down period and clean the appliance before
winding up the power cord after use.
Before using for the first time
-
Clean the appliance (see Cleaning and
care) and, if necessary, remove any
packing materials completely.
-
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 the toasting cycles.
Please note: the operating lever locks
down only when the plug is inserted.
-
Let the grill compartment heat up for 10
minutes with both heating elements
switched on.
When the appliance is switched on for the
first time, a slight smell may be emitted. This
is normal and will only last for a very short
time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
General Information about toasting
-
Day-old, dry bread darkens faster than
fresh bread. 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. They can get stuck in the toaster.
The thickness of the slices for toasting
should not exceed 20 mm.
● In case of problems or malfunctions and
before cleaning, always remove the plug
from the wall socket.
-
To remove a slice caught in the slot, use a
blunt wooden stick (e.g. a brush handle).
Never touch the metal heating elements.
-
Variations in bread type, thickness of the
slices and humidity content result in
different degrees of browning. Bread
should therefore be kept in a sealed
wrapping.
