Step Lines

-	[* black] When lever *1* moves down, it lowers the basket containing the bread ~~and~~ a ~~came~~ *2. When ~~that came~~ arrives at the end of the rail, it gets in position in between the two copper plates of the bipolar switch 3*.
-	[* black] ~~The~~ two copper plates ~~bring alow~~ the toaster ~~to be under voltage~~.
-	[* black] If the toaster is plugged in, the lever is held down by an electro-magnet *4. Time setting of the magnet is chosen using the button placed on top of the toaster ~~or top of a~~ system of electronic temporisation 5*
-	[* black] To toast bread, the device has a network of heating resistances *6* placed on both sides if the basket on ~~isolating~~ plates *7*. The resistances are under voltage when the lever is held down.
+	[* black] When lever *1* moves down, it lowers the basket containing the bread as well as a cam labelled *2. When this cam arrives at the end of the rail, it gets in position in between the two copper plates of the bipolar switch labelled 3*.
+	[* black] These two copper plates are used to power on the toaster.
+	[* black] If the toaster is plugged in, the lever is held down by an electro-magnet *4. Time setting of the magnet is chosen using the button placed on top of the toaster actuating the system of electronic temporisation 5*
