INTRODUCTION

• Your new Custom Select™ Toaster is designed to ensure that everything toasts to the precise shade you like best. With preset settings for Waffles, Bagels, Pastries, Bread, & English Muffins, this toaster knows just how long to toast for your selection. Depending on sugar content, density, and thickness, breads may toast a little faster or slower, so you might want to experiment with lighter or darker shade settings.
• And if you want to toast something that’s frozen, the Defrost button thaws it before the toaster starts toasting. For those making just one slice, the Single Function gives you the perfect shade, side to side. Everybody loves toast just their way, and this is a toaster everybody will love!

Some notes on Browning

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.

• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the surface of the bread before placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two halves.

Bagel

• This toaster reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot for bagels. This toasts the cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side.
• An embossed icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the right way to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face away from the center of the pair of toasting slots.)

Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast, and bagels

• These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function. Select bread type and then your preferred browning shade. Press the carriage lever and then press Defrost. For example, when toasting a frozen bagel, select Bagel, and then select the browning level, press the carriage lever, and Defrost.

Toaster pastries

• Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.

Tips

• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered bread in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.

Single Slice Button

The Single Slice Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side.

1. Insert slices of bread.
   Be sure that the carriage is in the up position.
2. Select bread type.

4. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
5. Press the Single Slice button. Blue LED indicates the feature is active.

To Stop the Cycle

• When the Single Slice cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply touch the Cancel button to interrupt. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.

Defrost Button

The Defrost button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread to your desired browning shade.

1. Insert slice(s) of bread.
   Be sure that the carriage is in the up position.
2. Select bread type.
3. Set the browning control.
4. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
5. Push the Defrost button. Blue LED indicates the feature is activated.

To stop the cycle

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
