USING THE TOASTER
1. Put the food 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 button. The lowest
level is 1 and the highest level is 8. The de-
fault level is 4.
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 en-
gages: 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,

erence. Press the DEFROST button to toast
it to your desired color, then pull down the

press the REHEAT button. Toasting time is
fixed in this mode: when time is over the op

erating lever will automatically spring up and
stop the reheating process.
8. The Bagel function makes it possible to toast
bread, bagels, muffins etc on one side only
(external side), while the other side (inter-
nal side) remains warm. Bagels and muf-
fins should be sliced in half before toasting.
