Using Your Toaster:

Check the toast slots for any remaining packaging. Be sure slots are completely clear before use.

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoke upon heating, which is normal. This is a result of the heating element’s chemical reactions. It quickly goes away.
With the bread carriage in the up position, insert the slice(s) you would like to toast.
Turn the browning control knob to desired position. The higher the number, the darker the toast (1-6).
Press the carriage lever down until it locks into position

Toasting Tips:
Toasting times may vary depending on the moisture level of the bread you are toasting.

For slightly DRY bread, use a lower setting (1-3) on the Browning ControlKnob.
FRESH bread or WHOLE WHEAT bread use a higher setting (4-6) on thebrowning control knob.
ENGLISH MUFFINS will require a higher setting (4-6) on the browningcontrol knob.
Thick cuts of bread like BAGELS take longer to toast since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs.
Some very thick cuts of bread may require two toasting cycles.
If you toast bread with pieces of fruit, please remove all loose pieces before toasting. These can fall into the toaster or stick to the guard wires.
Before toasting bagels, slice them into two halves; place them in the toaster with the cut sides facing each other.
For Toasting a single slice, use a lower setting (1-3) on the browningcontrol knob.
Use caution when toasting pastries as their fillings can become very hot before the surface of the pastry becomes brown.
