Carefully read all instructions before operating this appliance and save the
instructions for further reference. Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other
than the intended use, described in these instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can
cause severe injuries or damage by electric shock, heat or fire.
Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other than

• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles. Do
not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Do not attempt to ope-
rate the appliance using any parts or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of overheating, fire, and/or electric shock.
• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation—especially the power cord. The
pins of the power plug must be clean, smooth, and without discoloration. Do not operate the
appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid risk of fire,
electric shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appliance is likely to be
damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating, mechanical
or electric shock, moisture), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or melted parts, or
distortions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immediately unplug the
appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authori-
sed service centre for examination and repair.
• Bread, cakes and pastries can catch fire, when overheated! During operation
keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 20 cm on each side to furniture,
walls, boards, curtains and other objects. Do not operate the appliance near inflammable
liquids (e.g. high-proof alcohol) or beneath any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials or
beneath boards or drop-lights to avoid damage caused by steam, condensate or fire. Before
operating, always ensure that there are no foreign objects in the slots and the crumb tray is
installed properly. Do not insert wrapped foods (e.g. in kitchen foil), to avoid risk of fire, elec-
tric shock, and damage. Immediately unplug the appliance, if there is any kind of
malfunction or problem (e.g. overheating or smoke is coming from the slots).
• DO NOT attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is connected to the
power supply!
If food becomes stuck in the appliance, disconnect the plug from the power supply and wait
for the appliance to cool before attempting to remove the food. DO NOT poke in the toasting
slots with any objects (e.g. cooking utensils) or your fingers. Always take care not to damage
the internal mechanism or the heating elements of the appliance. When removing food after
toasting, keep in mind that just toasted food will be very hot.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do not
let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the packaging. The
appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. For storage
always keep the entire appliance dry and clean and where young children cannot reach it.
Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any part of it.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, heat-resistant and suitable
large table or counter. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other objects beneath or on the
appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Always
