First Use / Conditioning

Before first use, it is recommended to run the toaster through one or two full toasting cycles without any bread. This process helps to condition the new heating elements and burn off any manufacturing residues, which may produce a slight odor or smoke. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this initial conditioning.

1. Preparare il pane: Insert slices of bread into the toaster slots. For optimal results, ensure the bread fits comfortably without forcing.
2. Select Slots: Use the selector switch to activate the desired number of slots (1 or 2). For single slices, use the leftmost slot.
3. Set Browning: Turn the mechanical timer dial to your preferred browning level. The dial typically has markings for light, medium, and dark.
4. Inizia a tostare: Push the manual ejector lever down until it locks into place. The heating elements will activate, and the timer will begin to count down.
5. Monitorare i progressi: You can raise the ejector lever at any time to check the toast's browning without interrupting the cycle. Lower it again to continue toasting.
6. Recupera Toast: Once the timer completes its cycle, the heating elements will switch off. Push the ejector lever down to raise the toast for retrieval. The toaster is designed to keep toast warm until manually ejected.

Funzione di scongelamento

To defrost frozen bread before toasting, place the frozen bread in the slots. Set the mechanical timer to the defrost setting (often marked with a snowflake or a specific short duration like 1 minute). After the defrost cycle, wait approximately 20 seconds, then proceed with normal toasting as described above.

Bagel and Bun Function

For bagels or buns, select the appropriate setting on the selector switch. In this mode, typically only the inner heating elements activate, toasting the cut side while gently warming the outer side. Place the cut side of the bagel or bun facing inwards towards the center elements.
