Artel ART-SM-33 [16/19] Importan

FIRST USE

Unpack the appliance carefully and check, if there are any parts damaged or missing.

CAUTION: It is important to carefully remove all packing and shipping materials (in the slots and under the on/off

handle) as well as any price-tags, but do not remove any warning or model labels on the appliance. Ensure that there are no

foreign objects (i.e. packing materials) in the slots before operating the appliance.

Important: The toaster is operating with an electronic control. The on/off handle only engages in the toasting position,,

if the toaster is connected to the power supply and switched on.

When using the toaster for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze, because of the first heating of some of the

components. There is no need for concern. To prevent smell and taste of your food from being affected, you should heat the

appliance on browning level 6 before placing any cakes and pastries in the slots (see: ›Operating Your Toaster ). If the burnt

smell occurs again on later use, clean the toaster (see: ›Care and Cleaning‹). If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even after

thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.

OPERATING YOUR TOASTER

WARNING: Always completely unwind the power cord, before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Ensure, that

there are no foreign objects (i.e. shipping material) in the slots. Do not insert any foreign objects as knives, spoons, or other

cooking utensils in the slots, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock, burns or damage. Always handle with care, especially,

when removing jammed bread slices.

Important: Ensure, that the crumb tray is in place before operating the toaster. Otherwise crumbs may become charred

on the bottom of the toaster and stick to the surfaces.

1.Pr

epare the toaster for use: Completely unwind the power cord, place the toaster on an appropriate surface (level, dry, and

heat-resistant) and connect the power plug to an appropriate power outlet (see: ›Important Safeguards for Electrical

Appliances‹). Using a sharp knife, cut the food (bread or similar cakes and pastries) in slices of even thickness a

ppropriate size: max. 12 x 12 cm; 1/2 to 2.4 cm thick. Try to get a smooth cut and remove the crumbs.

2.Insert a slice of bread in each slot of the toaster.

3.Turn the browning control to select the desired browning: 1 (light) to 6(very dark). For the first use, it is recommended to

select a medium browning level (example: 3 or 4; see: ›Tips for Best Results‹).

4.Carefully press down the on/off handle until it engages in the Browning position. The CANCEL button illuminates.

Note: the on/off handle will not engage in the Browning position unless the toaster is connected to the power supply

Tips for Best results

• You may cancel the toasting process at any time; simply press the CANCEL button.

• The required browning level depends on your special liking and the type and freshness of the toasted cakes and pastries.

For example: a short toasting time (low browning level) is sufficient for toasting raisin pastry and fine white bread; but for

toasting rye bread you must select a higher browning level to get a similar result.

• You can crisp up rolls by cutting the rolls in halves, using a sharp knife, and activating the Single-Side Toasting Function.

Ensure, that the slices are max. 2.4 cm thick and will not stick in the slots (see: ›Single-Side Toasting Function‹)

lternatively, to toast rolls as a whole, place the rolls tray on the toaster and then place the rolls on the rolls tray.

• Smaller bread slices may be removed easier by lifting the on/off handle to the HIGH LIFT position (approx. 2 cm above

the idle position).

• Ensure to make an even and smooth cut. Use a sharp bread knife for cutting. Remove crumbs and protruding rims,

especially when crisping up halved rolls
