FAQs
Can I toast frozen bread in this toaster?
Yes, you can toast frozen bread by using a slightly higher browning setting to account for the defrosting time.
Is the bun warming rack dishwasher safe?
No, the rack should be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
How do I stop the toasting cycle early?
Simply press the 'Stop' button located on the control panel to eject the toast immediately.
What is the maximum thickness of bread I can use?
The self-centering slots can accommodate most standard bakery slices and bagels, though extremely thick artisan slices may be too tight.
Does the exterior of the toaster get hot?
While the exterior is designed for safety, it may become warm to the touch during operation, so please handle it by the levers and dials.
Troubleshooting
Toast is not browning evenly on both sides
Ensure the bread is not wedged in a way that prevents the self-centering guides from closing properly.
The toaster will not start
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet and ensure the toast lever is fully depressed until it clicks.
Burning smell during use
Check the crumb tray for accumulated debris and empty it; ensure no small pieces of bread are touching the heating elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your toaster, place it on a level, heat-resistant surface, ensuring at least 10cm of space around the unit for proper ventilation. Before the first use, run the toaster on the highest setting without bread inside to clear any manufacturing residue.
For daily care, unplug the device and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Slide out the crumb tray from the bottom and shake it over a bin, then wipe it with a damp cloth. Never immerse the toaster in water. To keep the exterior white casing looking new, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints or spills.
