how to use your toaster
Our toaster brings out the best in any kind of bread.
Simply follow the 4 steps below.
Step One
place bread
The ultimate toast starts with the right technique.
Place bread right-side-up and evenly spaced
Top side facing out
Top
Bottom
Every loaf of bread has a top and a bottom. For best results, place each slice with the top facing out. For “mountain-shaped” bread, the “peak” is the top. For square and other bread, check which side is on top when the bread is on the shelf. If you’re toasting a single slice, place it in the center. If more than one, spread them out evenly.
Clean regularly for best results
If your toaster has breadcrumbs in it from previous use, they will absorb energy and prevent your bread from being properly toasted. Be sure to clean your toaster regularly for a reliably delicious toasted finish.
Step Two
add water
Before each use, pour 5 cc of water into the water inlet using the special cup.
Skip this step if using Oven Mode.
Use the same amount of water every time
Whatever kind of bread you're toasting, and however many slices you're toasting at once, always add the same 5cc of water.
Don’t add water in Oven Mode
In Oven Mode, steam isn't used, so water isn't needed. Adding it can cause buildup in the boiler and lead to a malfunction.
Step Three
select mode
Each mode uses a different heating method. Read on to learn which mode is right for which kind of bread.

Note:
* Do not put bread higher than 2.2 inches in the toaster, as it could burn or char if too close to the heating tube.
* With toppings or ingredients that could drip or fail, be sure to use a heatproof tray or dish.
* Pastry Mode only heats food, with no browning. If some browning is desired, for example on burger buns, use Sandwich Bread Mode.

Sandwich Bread Mode vs Artisan Bread Mode: What’s the Difference?
Sandwich Bread Mode is for everyday supermarket-bought sliced bread. Artisan Bread Mode heats at a higher temperature and is designed for bread with a higher moisture content, such as fresh bread from the bakery. To experience bread at its best, we recommend slicing the bakery bread a little thicker than usual (about 1 inch). When toasted this results in a fluffier interior and crisper exterior.
Using special heating features to toast perfect bagels
Use Pizza mode to toast bagels to crispy, chewy perfection.
Place bagels with the sliced surfaces facing up. Pizza Mode heats more strongly from above so it will crisp the sliced surfaces while the downward-facing outer crust remains light and chewy.

Reheating to bring out the best in bread and pastries
Wait 30 seconds after heating the pastry using Pastry Mode. The butter will settle and the pastry will regain its crispiness.
Cutting baguettes differently gives different toasting results
01 Block cut: Fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside
02 Sliced lengthwise: Crisp and crunchy on the sliced surface
03 Sliced crosswise: Crispy inside and out

Step Four
set timer
Press the power button on the right side to switch the toaster on, and then turn the dial clockwise
to set the timer. After this, just wait for your delicious toast to be done.
No extra time needed for extra slices or thickness
Even if you are toasting thicker bread or more slices, you don't need to add extra time. Check the recommended times and experiment to find the timer setting that gives the results you prefer.
Why isn't more time needed for thicker bread?
The changing temperature inside the toaster is precisely measured and automatically adjusted by switching the heater on and off. This precision lets the toaster give any kind of bread the same toasted finish in the same amount of time, from thicker slices that are hard to warm up to thinner slices that warm up quickly.
Timer tips for toasting frozen bread
Put slices in the toaster frozen and add an extra 1 or 2 minutes to the timer.
* Freezing bread preserves its flavor better than refrigerating it. We recommend freezing any bread you don’t eat on the day it was baked.

Maintenance
cleaning instructions
Clean the crumb catcher after every use, and clean the other parts when build-up becomes noticeable. The crumb catcher, toasting rack, and boiler cover are removable.
