use.

• If a slice of bread gets stuck inside the toaster, please remove the

plug from the wall socket first and then carefully remove the

slice from the toaster.

(Take care not to damage the heating elements while removing

the slice of bread. Never use a metal object for this purpose.)

• Bread may burn.Therefore, toasters must not be used under or

near curtains or other combustible materials. Never leave the

appliance unattended when it is switched on.

Using the appliance for the first time

When you use the toaster for the first time, we strongly recommend that

you let the toaster complete several toasting cycles without slices of bread

in it at the highest toasting setting in a ventilated room to prevent the

appliance from giving off unpleasant odours.Allow the toaster to cool down

in between the toasting cycles.

We advise you not to use the appliance in the presence of birds.

Operation

(see illustrations)

Your toaster has been equipped with a 0 setting on the browning selector.When

the selector is in this position, the toasting lever will pop up and cannot be

operated.We advise you to set the browning selector to the 0 setting when the

appliance is not in use.This will ensure a measure of safety by preventing

accidental turning on of the toaster (e.g. by young children).

- (Type HD2520): Insert one or two slices of bread (fig 1a).

- (Type HD2521): Insert one or two slices of bread (fig 1b).

- For optimal browning results, always put the slices of bread in the centre of

the slots as much as possible.

- Before switching the appliance on, select the desired browning degree (fig 2a).

• Select setting 1 or 2 for light browning or for toasting only one slice or dry

bread.

• Select setting 3, 4 or 5 for medium browning.

• Select setting 6 for darker browning.

• Select setting 7 for toasting frozen bread (fig. 2b).

(When you are toasting a series of slices, you do not have to re-adjust the

setting).

- To lower the slices into the toaster, press down the toasting lever (fig 3).

- When ready, the toast pops up and the heating elements are switched off

automatically (fig. 4).

You can interrupt the toasting process by pushing up the toaster lever

manually or by setting the browning selector to 0 position.

• (Type HD2521): You can interrupt the toasting process by pressing the 'Stop'

button.The toasting lever is released automatically (fig 5).

• (Type HD2521): If necessary, you can lift the toasting lever a little further to

remove smaller slices of bread (fig 6).

- Pull out the crumb tray (fig. 8).

Do not remove crumbs by holding the appliance upside down and

shaking it.

Placing the dust cover (after use)
