∙ Clean the appliance (see Cleaning and
care).

inserted, go through at least fi ve toasting
cycles at the maximum temperature
setting.
∙ Allow the appliance to cool down between
cycles.
∙ Note: the operating lever locks down
only when the plug is inserted.
∙ When switching the appliance on for the
fi rst time, the toaster may emit a slight
smell and a little smoke, but this will
disappear after a short while. Ensure
suffi cient ventilation.
Adjusting the degree of browning

determined by turning the adjustable
browning control knob.
Light: turn the control knob anti-clockwise

For sandwiches, a setting between 5 and 6
is generally recommended.
Operation
∙ Follow the Practical hints when
preparing a sandwich.
∙ Caution: When using the sandwich
holder, grip it only by its handle; its metal
parts become very hot; otherwise there
is a danger of burns.
∙ Open the sandwich holder.
∙ Place the prepared sandwich on one half
of the sandwich holder, then bring the two
halves together.
∙ Adjust the browning control, lower the
sandwich holder into the toast slot and
press the operating lever down.

∙ Once the pre-set degree of browning has
been reached, the appliance will switch
off automatically and the indicator light will
go out.
∙ Lift out the sandwich holder.
∙ Open the holder and remove the
sandwich.
∙ To achieve regular browning when
toasting several sandwiches in
succession, allow the appliance to cool
down for 60 - 90 seconds after each
cycle.
∙ The toasting time may be shortened as a
result of fl uctuations in the power supply.
∙ Do not cover the toast slots during
operation.
Practical hints
Practical hints for best results when toasting
sandwiches:
∙ A sandwich should consist of two slices of
sandwich bread with a fi lling in between.
∙ All types of fi lling should be sliced (eg
cooked ham), as there is a danger of food
falling down into the interior if other kinds
of fi lling, such as tuna fi sh, are used.
∙ All common types of sandwich bread can
be used.
∙ White bread should preferably be one day
old when it is used for sandwiches.
∙ The slices for the fi lling (cheese, ham
etc) should be cut to match the sandwich
shape.
