Installazione e primo utilizzo

1. Disimballaggio: Estrarre con cautela il tostapane dalla confezione. Conservare l'imballaggio per un eventuale stoccaggio o trasporto futuro.
2. Posizionamento: Place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface, away from flammable materials such as curtains or walls. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. Collegamento elettrico: Ensure the toaster is unplugged. Unwind the power cord fully and plug it into a grounded electrical outlet. The toaster operates on 240 Volts.
4. Burn-off iniziale: Before toasting food for the first time, operate the toaster without bread for a few cycles on a medium setting (e.g., setting 3). This will burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
5. Vassoio briciole: Prima dell'uso, assicurarsi che il vassoio raccogli briciole sia inserito correttamente.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Tostatura di base

1. Inserisci il pane: Place slices of bread into the toaster slots. The 2-slice model has two slots.
2. Select Slots (if applicable): Use the selector switch (top right dial) to activate the desired heating elements. For a 2-slice toaster, you typically activate both.
3. Set Browning Level: Turn the mechanical timer dial (bottom right dial) to your desired browning level. Settings range from 0 (lightest) to 8 (darkest). Start with a medium setting (e.g., 3 or 4) and adjust as needed.
4. Leva inferiore: Push the manual ejector lever down to start the toasting cycle. The timer will begin to count down.
5. Recupera Toast: Once the timer reaches zero, the heating elements will switch off. The toast will remain in the slots, keeping warm. To retrieve, push the manual ejector lever upwards.
