Any ideas on how best to translate the phrase "manopola di regolazione a scatto"? I have ONLY this phrase, but the client has explained that this is a "dial" on a toaster to regulate the degree of toasting which "non ruota in modo uniforme ma a scatti sulle posizioni corrispondenti ai vari gradi di tostatura". Many thanks for your suggestions.

Maybe something in this article will help?
"Automatic Toasters. - There are a great variety of automatic toasters with somewhat different construction principles. In all cases, however, the electrical current in the heater element toasts the bread. The main difference in the various types lay in the method employed to control the toasting cycle. A great number of automatic toasters are classified as the "pop-up" type and include, in addition to the heating element, A THERMOSTATIC SWITCH OR TIMING DEVICE which automatically controls the toasting process."
