Tips and suggestions
- The first batch of toast you make enables the heating elements to reach the correct toasting temperature. Please note that further batches of toast could take less time. For best results:
- Toast only one type of bread at a time.
- Toast bread slices of the same thickness.
- Use bread slices no thicker than one inch.
- If you are using hand cut bread, try to cut slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.
- Be aware that if you use very thin or broken slices of bread, they will burn.
Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces. Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Wipe over thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.
Troubleshooting
If your toaster should fail to operate, check the following:
- Check that the toaster is plugged into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet. If it is, unplug the toaster.
- Plug in the toaster.
- If the toaster still does not work, check the household fuse or circuit breaker. If the problem cannot be solved:
- See the Smeg Warranty and Service sections.
