Simply follow the 4 steps below.
Place breadThe ultimate toast starts with the right technique.
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.
Add waterBefore each use, pour 5 cc of water into the water inlet using the special cup.

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.
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.
Cleaning InstructionsClean the crumb catcher after every use, and clean the other
parts when build-up becomes noticeable. The crumb catcher,
