Troubleshooting
Toast is unevenly browned
Ensure that the bread slices are not touching the sides of the slots and that you are using consistent bread types for all four slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, place the toaster on a stable, heat-resistant surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Upon first use, it is recommended to run the toaster on a high setting without bread inside to burn off any manufacturing residues. For daily care, simply slide out the removable crumb tray once it is cool to the touch and discard crumbs. Wipe the exterior with a damp microfiber cloth to maintain the luster of the stainless steel housing, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.
