This document describes the Livoo 2-slot electric retro toaster, designed for household use. It emphasizes safety, proper operation, and maintenance to ensure user satisfaction and product longevity.
Function Description
The Livoo retro toaster is designed to toast bread slices, offering various darkness settings, a defrost function for frozen bread, and a reheat function for cooled toast. It features two bread slots and controls for adjusting toast darkness, stopping the toasting cycle, and reheating. The appliance automatically ejects toast when the cycle is complete and includes a lift function for easier removal of smaller items.
Usage Features
General Operation:
Before first use, it's recommended to remove all packaging, check for accessories, clean the toaster with a damp cloth, and ensure all parts are correctly assembled and stable. The toaster should be placed with sufficient space from walls or other appliances as it heats up during operation. Connect the toaster to a 220-240V~ 50-60Hz power supply. For the initial use, perform one toasting cycle without bread to burn off any manufacturing residues. The toast lever will lock down and automatically jump up when the cycle is finished.
Toasting:
- Place bread slices into the toasting slots.
- Use the darkness control to select the desired toast darkness. Settings range from 1 (very light) to 6 (very dark), with the middle position recommended for golden brown toast.
- Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. The "Stop" indicator lamp will light up, and toasting will begin.
- The toasting cycle can be interrupted at any time by pressing the "Stop" button.
- Once the bread reaches the set darkness, it will be automatically ejected, and the appliance will shut off.
- For easier retrieval of toasted bread, push the toast lever upward to activate the lift function.
Thawing (DEFROST function):
The DEFROST function first thaws the bread and then toasts it, resulting in a slightly longer cycle than normal toasting.
- Place frozen bread slices into the toasting slots.
- Press the toast lever down until it locks into place.
- Select the desired toast darkness setting. Recommended settings:
- Low (1-2) for bread from the refrigerator or thin frozen bread slices.
- Medium (3-4) for frozen waffles.
- High (5-6) for thicker frozen bread slices and thick toast.
- Press the toast lever down until it locks into place.
- Immediately press the "DEFROST" button; its indicator lamp will light up.
- The bread or roll will be thawed and toasted.
- The cycle can be interrupted at any time by pressing the "Stop" button.
- Upon completion, the bread will be automatically ejected, and the indicator lamps will turn off. The appliance will shut off automatically.
Reheat Function:
This function allows you to re-heat toast that has cooled down too quickly.
- Place the cooled toast back into the toaster.
- Set the browning control to a low setting.
- Push the loading handle down.
- Press the "REHEAT" button; the reheat indicator will light up. Ensure the toast does not burn.
- The loading handle will automatically rise when the toast is reheated.
Tips for Ideal Toasting Results:
- Different types of bread have varying moisture content, affecting toasting results. Adjust darkness settings accordingly.
- For slightly dry bread, use a lower toast darkness setting.
- For fresh or whole grain bread, use a higher toast darkness setting.
- Bread with an irregular surface may require a higher toast darkness setting.
- Thick bread slices may need more time or even a second toasting cycle.
- When toasting raisin bread, remove all raisins from the surface to prevent burning.
- If toasting only one slice, select a low toast darkness setting.
- When toasting multiple slices consecutively, subsequent slices may be darker due to residual heat.
- For frozen bread or waffles, always use the thaw button.
