FAQs
What material is the Alessi SG68W toaster made from?
The main body is made from mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, with a white polycarbonate base.
How many slices can this toaster accommodate?
It is designed to toast two slices of bread simultaneously.
Does it have a defrost or bagel setting?
No, the Alessi SG68W has a simpler design and does not include specific defrost or bagel settings. It primarily focuses on standard toasting and warming functions.
Can I put larger artisanal bread slices in this toaster?
The toaster has standard slots. While it accommodates most regular bread slices, very thick or wide artisanal loaves might not fit comfortably.
How do I clean the stainless steel surface?
Wipe the stainless steel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the mirror finish.
What is the purpose of the bun warming rack?
The bun warming rack allows you to gently heat or keep warm items like croissants, buns, or rolls without toasting them directly.
What are the dimensions of the toaster?
The dimensions are approximately 41.00 cm in width, 11.50 cm in depth, and 19.00 cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Toaster does not power on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out an issue with the power source.
Uneven toasting.
Ensure bread slices are centered within the slots. Clean out any accumulated crumbs from the bottom of the toaster, as these can sometimes interfere with heating elements.
Bun warmer is not heating.
The bun warmer relies on radiant heat from the toasting elements. Ensure the toaster is on and the bread is toasting. The rack itself does not have an independent heating element.
Smoke or burning smell during operation.
This can be caused by food debris or crumbs accumulated in the toaster. Unplug the unit, let it cool completely, and empty the crumb tray. If the smell persists, there may be an internal issue.

Care:
