FAQs
Can I toast frozen waffles in this?
Yes, use the defrost function to ensure the center of the waffle is heated properly before crisping the exterior.
How do I activate the bagel mode?
After inserting your bagel and selecting your browning level, press the 'Bagel' button before pushing the lever down.
Is the exterior cool to the touch?
While the finish is high quality, the sides may become warm during extended use. Always use the lever to handle the bread.
How often should I clean the crumb tray?
It is recommended to empty the tray weekly to prevent crumbs from burning and creating smoke.
Does this toaster fit large artisan slices?
The slots are designed for standard toasting needs, but very large or irregularly shaped slices may need to be trimmed to fit.
Troubleshooting
Toast is browning unevenly
Ensure the slice is not too large for the slot and check that the self-centering racks are not obstructed by debris.
The toaster will not start
Verify the plug is firmly seated in the outlet and the lever is locked into the 'down' position.
Smoke or burning smell during use
Check the crumb tray for an accumulation of debris and ensure no food particles are touching the heating elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, place the toaster on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides to ensure proper ventilation. Before the first use, run the toaster on the highest setting empty for one cycle to burn off any manufacturing residue. For daily care, simply press the touch-release button on the side to remove the crumb tray; empty it over a bin and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals on the matte exterior, as these can scratch the finish. Use a damp microfiber cloth for exterior smudge removal.
