Thank you.

For having placed your trust in CARRERA – and for giving us the

opportunity to prove you right with our toaster.

Everything is driven by one idea.

Each CARRERA appliance follows a clear concept.

No consideration of existing gender roles, no pink for women or blue

for men. Since when did quality and performance have a gender?

We create technology maximising user friendliness, handling and

aesthetics and bringing performance to life. Directly when switching

on the appliance and even after many years. Performance is not just

delivered by the motor alone, but results from the skilful interplay of

each individual component.

We just call it the CARRERA boost.

Although we have not reinvented the wheel, we had the courage

to do right what is crucial and to dispense with everything that is

unimportant.

That is our style. And you will rediscover it in each further CARRERA

appliance.

05. FIRST INITIAL USE



Remove any remaining packaging material from the toasting slot and pull

off the protective ﬁlm.

FIG. A

Before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time, you should operate the appliance

several times with short cooling intervals at the highest browning control set-

ting without bread and with adequate room ventilation.

Method:



Adjust the required cable length. Wind any extra cable onto the cable stor-

age

8

and connect the appliance according to instructions (Follow safety

instructions) (A).



Depress the lowering button

7

downwards until it locks into place.



Set the variable browning control (see chapter „Browning control adjust-

ment“).

25

GB

06. INITIAL USE AND OPERATION

FIGS. B–G

Inserting bread for toasting



Put one untoasted slice of bread into each of the two toasting slots (B).

Ensure that the slices of bread do not become stuck.



Depress the lowering button

7

downwards until it locks into place (C).

The appliance is now switched on and starts toasting immediately. Directly

set the desired browning level (see “Browning control adjustment”).

Browning control adjustment



Set the variable browning control 1–9 (light to dark) required using the

browning level indicator v w

5

(D). The appropriate browning level indica-

tore

3

lights up.

The browning level 1–9 are intended as a guide:

Browning levels 1–6: light to dark browning;

Browning levels 7–9: crisping up/heating of bread rolls with the warming

rack unfolded.

Depending on the type of bread, size, humidity content, number and thick-

ness of the slices, the level of browning may differ at the same variable

browning control setting.

A different setting should be selected for mixed-grain bread (see chapter „Tips”).

WARNING! Dry slices of toast or slices which have already been toas-

ted can catch ﬁre. Set the browning level onto

2

, and keep an eye

on the appliance (see chapter „REHEAT”).

Toasting



The toasting time is indicated by the browning control: the level indicators

light up successively, starting with 1 up to the adjusted level (E). When the

adjusted browning level has been reached, the appliance switches off auto-

matically (F).

If the bread becomes too brown during toasting, you can always interrupt

toasting by pressing the button STOP

6

(G).

The appliance switches off automatically and the slices of toast are lifted up for

removal. By lifting the lowering button / toast lift

7

, toast and smaller slices can

be removed more easily.



DANGER! Fire hazard

Higher browning levels are only suitable when using the warming rack for

heating. Before toasting, make sure you set the appropriate browning level.

NOTE! The previously adjusted browning level is always stored, even if the

appliance is switched off or dead.

26

GB

07. FUNCTIONS

FIGS. H–I

Reheating

Toast which has cooled down or which was not removed immediately can be

reheated.



Insert bread and depress the lowering button

7

downwards until it locks

into place.



After that set the browning level to

2

using the browning level indicator

v w

5

(H).

The bread is re-heated without additional browning.

The appliance switches off automatically after the re-heating process and the

slices of bread are lifted up for removal.

Defrosting

Frozen bread for toasting is defrosted and then browned to the selected

browning level.



Insert bread and depress the lowering button

7

downwards until it locks

into place.



Set the variable browning control 1–6 (light to dark) required using the

browning level indicator v w

5

. Then press button





4

– the defrosting

control lamp lights up red (I).

After defrosting and toasting, the appliance switches off, the control lamp

goes off, and the toast can be removed.

08. WARMING RACK

NOTE! Heat bread rolls with swung-out warming rack only!

Never toast bread and heat up rolls simultaneously!

FIGS. J–M

Backing rolls



Swing the integrated warming rack

1

out using rotary switch

10

(J).



Place the bread rolls on the warmin rack and depress the lowering button

7

downwards until it locks into place (K).



Set the variable browning control 1-9 (light to dark) required using the

browning level indicator v w

5

. The appropriate browning level indicator

3

lights up (L). If you should notice that the bread rolls are becoming too

brown during toasting, you can always interrupt the process by pressing the

button STOP

6

.

27

GB

To improve the results, turn the rolls over and repeat the toasting operation.



Swing the warming rack

1

in again using rotary switch

10

(M).

09. TIPS



If just one slice of bread is toasted, the browning will be darker with the

same variable browning control setting.



So that dry rolls toast better, they should be dampened slightly before

heating.



A lower browning control setting should be selected for bread of a lower

moisture content and for smaller and thinner slices.



Mixed-grain bread generally requires longer toasting than normal toast

bread so the browning control switch should be raised 1–2 settings.

10. CLEANING AND CARE

FIG. N



Falling crumbs are collected in the crumb tray

9

. Pull out the crumb tray for

cleaning (N), empty it, and then slide it back into place.
