FAQs
How many slices of bread can this toaster toast at once?
This De'Longhi Icona Capitals Toaster is designed to toast two slices of bread simultaneously.
Can I toast frozen bread or pastries?

How do I clean the toaster?

What is the 'Extra-Lift' function for?
The `Extra-Lift` position allows you to raise the carriage higher than usual, making it easier and safer to retrieve smaller slices of bread or items that might otherwise be hard to reach.
Does it have an automatic shut-off feature?
Yes, the toaster is equipped with an automatic switch-off after toasting, enhancing safety and preventing over-toasting.
Is the toaster made of plastic?
No, the body of the toaster is made of durable stainless steel, ensuring longevity and adding a premium feel.
What is the power of this toaster?

Troubleshooting
Toaster not turning on or heating up.
Check if the toaster is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Try plugging another small appliance into the same outlet to confirm power is available.
Toast is too light or too dark.
Adjust the 6-position progressive electronic browning control. Increase the setting for darker toast and decrease for lighter toast. Remember that different types of bread and moisture content can affect toasting results.
Bread is stuck in the toasting slots.
Unplug the toaster immediately. Use the `Extra-Lift` position to raise the bread as much as possible. If it's still stuck, carefully and gently remove the bread using non-metallic tongs. Never use metal utensils or your fingers while the toaster is plugged in.
Smoke or a burning smell is coming from the toaster.
Unplug the toaster. This is often caused by accumulated crumbs or food particles in the bottom. Allow it to cool, then remove and empty the removable crumb tray. If necessary, gently shake the toaster upside down to dislodge any other trapped debris.
The bun warmer rack doesn't seem to heat items effectively.
Ensure the toaster is set to an appropriate browning level (e.g., medium to high for warming). Items on the bun warmer are heated indirectly, so it will take longer than direct toasting. For very cold or dense items, pre-heating the toaster for a short period before placing items on the rack can help.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Crumb Tray: After each use, or regularly, allow the toaster to cool completely. Slide out the removable crumb tray from the bottom, empty crumbs, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Reinsert the tray securely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers as they can damage the stylish finish.
- Interior Cleaning: Never insert utensils or your fingers into the toaster slots. For stubborn, stuck-on food, unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely. Gently shake it upside down over a sink to dislodge crumbs.
- Storage: Ensure the toaster is completely cool and unplugged before storing. Wrap the power cord neatly around the base if a cord storage feature is available (Info needed: [Does it have cord storage?]).
