The Lauben 4 Slice Toaster 1500BC is designed for domestic use. Before first use, it is normal to notice a slight odour or light smoke; this is caused by the burning off of anti-corrosive agents on the metal parts. Always ensure the toaster is placed on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials like curtains.
Description
The toaster features the following controls and components:
- Sliding lever: Used to lower bread into the slots.
- Reheat button: Reheats bread without further browning.
- Defrost button: Used for toasting frozen bread.
- Cancel button: Immediately stops the toasting process.
- Browning control: Knob to adjust the toasting level (1-6).
- Crumb tray: Removable tray at the bottom for easy cleaning.
Usage
- Plug the appliance into a grounded power outlet.
- Insert one or two slices of bread into the slots.
- Select the desired browning level using the control knob (1 is minimum, 6 is maximum). For the first use, level 3 is recommended.
- Push the sliding lever down until it clicks. The toasting cycle will begin automatically.
- The toaster will turn off automatically when the cycle is complete, and the bread will pop up. You can press the Cancel button at any time to stop the process.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity of your toaster:
- Crumb tray: Always empty the tray regularly. Ensure the toaster is unplugged and completely cool before removing and washing the tray. Dry it thoroughly before reinserting.
- Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or small brush to remove crumbs from the internal heating elements. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaning agents.
Safety
Important: Never attempt to remove stuck bread with a knife or any sharp metal object, as this poses a risk of electric shock. If bread gets stuck, unplug the toaster, let it cool down, and then remove the bread. Do not immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid.
