Before Using for the First Time

There may be manufacturing residue or oil remaining in the toaster or heating element, which might emit an odor at the time of the first use. This is normal and will not occur after several uses. It is suggested to operate the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster without bread for the first use according to the steps below. Then let the toaster cool down before you start toasting the first slice.

How to Use the CRUX® 4-Slice Toaster

1. Ensure the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster is connected to the main power supply.
2. Place one to two slices of bread into the toasting slots and press the loading lever down until it latches. The CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster will heat up automatically and start toasting. NOTE: The CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster must be connected to the main power supply for the bread carriage to engage and for the toasting cycle to begin
3. Adjust the browning control to brown the toast to your desired taste.
4. To stop toasting, press the CANCEL button at any time.
5. The loading lever will rise automatically when toasting is finished. This CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster is equipped with a high lift lever to help with the removal of smaller items.
6. If the toast is not dark enough, you can toast the bread again. Adjust the browning control to your desired setting and replace the toast. Ensure the toast does not burn while re-toasting

Browning Control
The browning control enables adjustment of toasting time and has the following settings:

• Reheat – for warming pre-toasted bread
• 1-2 for light toasting
• 3-4 for medium toasting
• 5-6 for dark toasting

Bagel Function
The bagel setting works great for English muffins, too!

1. Place one half in each toasting slot with the cut sides facing the center.
2. Set the browning control to the desired setting.
3. Press the loading lever down.
4. Press the BAGEL button. The bagel indicator will light up. Ensure the bagel doesn’t burn.
5. The loading lever will rise automatically when the toasting cycle is complete.

Gluten Free Function
Use your CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster to toast, reheat, or defrost your Gluten-free bread, bagels, and waffles. Gluten-free breads are often denser in quality and require a longer toasting time. The gluten-free function adjusts and adds the ideal amount of time to your toasting
cycle to ensure precise and even toasting.

1. Place one bread, bagel, or waffle in each toasting slot.
2. Set the browning control to the desired setting.
3. Press the loading lever down.
4. Press the GLUTEN FREE button to toast. The Gluten-free button will light up. Ensure the toast/ bagel/ waffle doesn’t burn.
5. The loading lever will rise automatically when the toasting cycle is complete.

Reheat Function
Your CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster can reheat bread if it has cooled too quickly.

1. Replace the bread in the toaster.
2. Set the browning dial to the lowest setting. The arrow on the dial should be positioned to REHEAT.
3. Press the loading lever down.
4. The loading lever will rise automatically when the toasting cycle is complete.

High Lift Function
Allows the loading lever to be raised further for easier access to smaller breads. This ensures smaller pieces of bread and bagels can be removed easily.

Cancel Function
The CANCEL button can be pressed at any time during toasting to interrupt the toasting cycle.

CAUTION:

1. Remove all protective wrapping before using the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster.
2. If the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster starts to smoke, press CANCEL to stop toasting immediately.
3. Do not toast food with runny ingredients.
4. Never attempt to remove bread jammed in the slots without first unplugging the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster from the electrical outlet. Be sure not to damage the internal mechanism or heating elements when removing bread.
5.  The bread slot is to be used for toasting regular bread slices only. Do not use the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster to toast irregularly shaped bread, as it may become lodged in the toaster.r

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster from the outlet before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside with a soft, dry cloth after the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster cools down. Never use metal polish.
3. Pull out the crumb tray on the bottom of the CRUX® 4 Slice Toaster and empty it. If a toaster is used frequently, accumulated bread crumbs should be removed at least once a week. Make sure the crumb tray is inserted correctly into the toaster and completely closed before using the toaster again.
