[. . . ] Allow to cool down before cleaning and before putting on or taking off parts. If bread jams in the slots after toasting the unit will automatically shut off. Disconnect the plug immediately from the mains socket and wait for the toaster to cool before attempting to remove the bread. The toaster is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without close supervision. [. . . ] Do not use the toaster for cooking, grilling or defrosting frozen food other than bread products. Any professional use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions will void the warranty. Thank you for choosing an appliance from the KRUPS range which is designed exclusively for toasting bread and warming bakery products. Helpful hints Differences in moisture levels from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times and browning levels. Below are some general recommendations : Slightly dry bread should be toasted on a lower setting. Very fresh bread or whole wheat bread should be toasted on a slightly darker setting. Breads with uneven surfaces, such as English muffins, may require a darker setting. When toasting items with fruit, such as raisin bread or tea-cakes, remove any loose fruit before toasting (raisins may fall into the appliance and create a fire hazard). When toasting bagels, slice the bagel into two equal halves before toasting. If you are toasting one slice of bread, set the browning control at a lower setting. We do not recommend warming or toasting sugar coated or filled items such as toaster pastries - in such cases always set the browning control to the lowest setting. Select browning level, choose one of the 8 positions depending on the type, freshness and the thickness of the bread - (fig 3). The bread slices are automatically centered and the toasting begins. The control lever can only be locked in the lower position when the toaster is plugged in. We do not recommend toasting sugar coated bread, use caution when toasting sugar coated or filled items (such as toaster pastries) Always set browning control to lowest setting. Before toasting, be sure that the toaster is not under cabinets or other flammable materials such as curtains. The toaster automatically stops at the end of the toasting cycle, the control lever lifts up and the slices of bread pop up - (fig 5). The toasting cycle may be interrupted at any time by pressing the « STOP » button. To remove small slices of bread after the toasting cycle, 3 pop-up options are available: - Turn the control lever to the left to the first "picture" - Turn the control lever to the left to the 2nd "picture" - Turn the control lever to the left to the 3rd "picture" - (fig 6). Defrosting the bread will take a little longer to toast as the toaster will automatically defrost the bread first before toasting. Insert your bagel or French bread in the toaster with the inside soft part of each slice towards the inside element (cut part faces in). Once browned, the bagel will pop up automatically and the toaster will switch off. [. . . ] If crumbs or crusts remain inside the heating elements or in the toaster, remove the warming plate then turn the toaster upside down so that these remaining crumbs fall out. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents (no soda-based scouring products, no scouring pads. For toasters with a metallized finish* : Do not use any cleaning products designed for metals. Always let your toaster cool down completely prior to storing especially in a tightly enclosed space, heat may damage any type of flammable material. [. . . ]
