HOW TO CARE
FOR THE TOASTER
• Before each maintenance
operation, always unplug the
power cord and check that the
toaster has cooled down.
• Clean the outer surface with a
damp cloth and dry carefully. Do
not flip the toaster upside down or
shake it, rather remove the crumbs
from the collection tray located
near the base of the toaster.
• To remove the tray, press and
release the central part of the tray
and then pull outwards. Once
the crumbs have been removed,
reposition the tray and press lightly
to ensure that it closes completely.
(fig. from 15 to 18).
• Remove the crumbs from the tray
after each use and do not place the
tray in the dishwasher.
• Before putting the toaster away,
always allow it to cool completely
and be sure to wind the cable
around the winder and not around
the body of the appliance.

lever will move up automatically,
raising the racks.

of the handles only, to avoid burns,
set them on a cutting board or plate
and let the sandwiches slide out.
Be careful, touching any metal
parts may cause burns.

end of the toasting cycle.
• To turn off the toaster before the
