Probably just covering legal bases so they don't get sued to oblivion because they didn't tell people that toast can burn at prolonged exposure to toasting. And other stuff like that.

I assume it's in like 4 or 5 languages though?

Also, gotta spell it out for the people with below average intelligence not to stick fingers, fork, or hands in it. The Toaster isn't a substitute for a rubber duck, etc. lol

I just checked, and it seems even my dualit classic isn't exempt from this!

Though to its credit, it's mostly "how to not set the kitchen on fire" and "how to get the best out of your toast".

It annoys me on toasters like this that you can't activate just one side. If you want to toast a single slice then you still have to have all the elements on instead of just the ones where the bread is.

“Cancel button does not reset your toast back to bread.”

Did you know, the potentiometers scale is usually supposed to be minutes? Maybe it's in the manual 🙂

I'll bet 10-11 of those pages are safety warnings such as "Do not bathe with your toaster. Do not stab your toaster with a fork." Etc.

If any of it contained repair documentation that'd actually be pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly just "how to press a button", and "please don't put this in the bathtub"

Me: pops out crumb tray to clean it.

Me: pushes lever up to raise toast to pull it out easier

Person who never flicked through the manual: WTH?

ADVANCED TOAST: Practical Bread Theory In The Modern Age

Is one of the pages about why they chose to have 7 levels of toasting instead of 11?

You should see the manual for the four-slicer.
