-	[* 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*
-	[* black] To toast bread, the device has a network of heating ~~resistances~~ *6* placed on both sides of the basket on insulating plates *7*. The ~~resistances~~ are ~~under voltage~~ when the lever is held down.
