Tips and suggestions
Your toaster has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
• A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
  • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Before first use

1. Remove all stickers and any packing or printed material that might have fallen inside during shipping or handling. Do not probe inside the toaster with a metal object.
2. Clean the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth.
3. Use the toaster for the first time without any bread in it.
4. Turn the browning control to the maximum position and press the breadlift down. In this way you will burn off any dust that has fallen into the toaster during production or transport.

During first use there may be some smoke and odors.

Tips and suggestions

• Remember that the type of bread you use will impact the toasting times. The fresher the bread you use, the longer it will take to toast. Different kinds of bread have different moisture content and will require different browning levels. For example, fruit breads generally toast much quicker, and freshly baked breads will take longer as they have a greater moisture content.
• The first batch of toast you make enables the heating elements to reach the correct toasting temperature. Please note that further batches of toast could take less time.

For best results:

• Toast only one type of bread at a time.
• Toast bread slices of the same thickness.
• Use bread slices no thicker than one inch.
• If you are using handcut bread, try to cut slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.
• Be aware that if you use very thin or broken slices of bread, they will burn.

Operation

If necessary, shorten the cord by wrapping it under the base (5 - Fig. A).

1. Plug in the toaster.
2. Insert the bread in the slot (Fig. C).
3. Remember that as bread is not normally square, you may need to turn the bread on its side to get a better fit and optimize the toasting surface area.
4. Choose the desired browning level (Browning levels 1 to 6, from light to dark) or the "Reheat function" (15 - Fig. B).
5. Push the lever down until it clicks to activate the toasting cycle (Fig. C).
6. If needed, select the additional functions Defrost (10 - Fig. B) or Bagel (14 - Fig. B) or the two combined.
7. The heating element is now activated. The bread will be centered in the breadlift automatically for toasting.
8. The toasted bread will pop up automatically when the toast is ready.
9. If the toast is not brown enough and requires just a little extra time, use the reheat button to extend the toasting time.

Special functions

Canceling/stopping the toasting cycle

At any time, it is possible to cancel or stop the toasting cycle by pushing the button (13 - Fig. B).

Defrost (10 - Fig. B)

This function gently defrosts frozen bread and toasts it to the selected browning level.

To activate it, insert the bread into the slot, select the desired browning level, press the breadlift down until it clicks, then push the defrost button, which will light up. Toasting time will be automatically increased to allow the bread to defrost and brown correctly. When the toast pops up automatically, the light of the defrost button will switch off.

Bagel (14 - Fig. B)

This special function is ideal for toasting one side only, for bagels, flat bread, English muffins, baguettes, etc. To use the function, simply insert the bread into the slot with the side that you want toasted facing the outside. Select the desired browning level, press the breadlift down until it clicks, then push the Bagel function button, which will light up.

When the bread is toasted, it will pop up automatically and the Bagel function light will switch off.

Reheat (15 - Fig. B)

This function allows you to reheat cold toasts or to continue a toasting cycle if the result is not satisfactory. To activate it, insert the bread into the slot, select the Reheat function on the browning control knob and press the breadlift down until it clicks. The central light of the browning control knob will light up. When the toast is ready, it will pop up automatically and the light of the control knob will switch off.

Defrost or Reheat can be selected at the same time as the Bagel function.

Using optional accessories (6,7,8,9 - Fig. A)

Accessories may differ according to the model.

Sandwich racks (1-Fig. D)

The sandwich racks are ideal for toasting filled sandwiches, or for easier handling of smaller items such as bagels.

• TSSR01 model suitable for TSF01 Toaster (6 - Fig. A)
• TSSR02 model suitable for TSF02 Toaster (7 - Fig. A).

Tips and suggestions

• Lightly butter the outside of the bread, this prevents burning and helps with the warming of the filling. Do not butter the inside of the sandwich.
• For best results use thinly sliced ingredients and finely grated cheese.
• For best results use cold meat (ham, turkey, etc.) at room temperature, not straight from the refrigerator.
• Do not overfill the sandwich.
• If using a low browning setting, the filling might not heat through correctly. In this case, at the end of the toasting cycle, leave the toast inside the toasting slot for longer, or extend the time by using the reheat button.

How to use (1 - Fig. D):

1. Open the rack with the handles.
2. Place the sandwich inside the rack.
3. Close the sandwich rack handles together to grip the sandwich in the middle of the racks.
4. Insert the sandwich rack into the slot and select a browning level. If a little more browning is required, you can use the reheat button to extend the toasting time.
5. Push the breadlift down until it clicks to activate the toasting cycle.
6. When the toasting cycle has ended remove the sandwich rack from the toaster.

Bun Warmer (2 - Fig. D)

The bun warmer is used to warm small bread rolls, flat bread or pastries.

• TSBW01 model suitable for TSF01 Toaster (8 - Fig. A)
• TSBW02 model suitable for TSF02 Toaster (9 - Fig. A).

How to use (2 - Fig. D):

1. Place the bun warmer on top of the toaster, making sure the wire feet on the bottom of the warmer fit into the toaster slots.
2. Place small bread rolls, flat bread or pastries on top of the warmer and set the browning level to '1' (no higher).
3. Lower the breadlift until it clicks to activate the toasting cycle.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the surfaces in good condition, clean regularly after use. Let them cool first.

Never use products that contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Tips and suggestions
If grease or oil splatters on the toaster, wipe it off immediately using a clean, damp cotton cloth.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Wipe over thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Cleaning the crumb tray (Fig. E)

1. Push the Crumb Tray (4 - Fig. A) to unlock it, then pull to slide it out and empty it. The Crumb Tray should be emptied after each use.

Tips and suggestions
The Crumb Tray is hand-washable. Always dry the tray thoroughly before putting it back in the toaster.

2. Put the Crumb Tray back in the toaster.
   Press it in firmly until it clicks into position. Do not use the toaster without the Crumb Tray in the proper position.
3. Do not use any toaster cover.
