The defrost function works equally well. A real highlight of this toaster.
The warming rack is unfortunately too wide, as well as to a thin baguette falls quickly and in the groove above constantly collect crumbs.
The bottom has holes and fall down when pulling out the drawer crumbs equal by some crumbs - annoying, on top of that larger crumbs remain in the toaster and jammed between the side walls and the metal plates of the heating elements. Who constructed so what ???
We would no longer buy the toaster again. Too bad, we would have expected more from Bosch.
Made in China, then really just the icing on the cake. Bye-bye Bosch!
