IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, PRODUCT LABELS, AND WARNINGS

BEFORE USING THE TOASTER.

• Unplug the toaster from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Metal parts can become hot. Use handles or knobs.
• To prevent electric shock, unplug before cleaning.
• To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plug, or toaster in water or other liquids.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Never leave an appliance unattended when in use.
• Young children or incapacitated persons should not use this appliance. Supervise older children closely.
• Do not operate or place the toaster:
  • On non-heat-resistant or flammable surfaces.
  • On or near a hot gas or electric burner.
  • In a heated oven or microwave oven.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not insert:
  • Utensils or foil-covered or oversized foods into the toaster.
  • Fingers or metallic utensils into slots when the toaster is plugged in.
• Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged in.
• Do not use foods that will drip coatings or fillings when heated. Such accumulations inside the toaster create unsanitary conditions and the possibility of fire or toaster malfunction. Clean out accumulated crumbs frequently to avoid the risk of fire or toaster malfunction. Do not operate the toaster without the crumb tray being replaced in its correct position.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Short Power Supply Cord Instructions

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally

Learning About Your Toaster

Preparing To Use Your Toaster for the First Time

If you are using your toaster for the first time, please be sure to:

• Remove any stickers from the surface of the toaster and wipe the outside of your toaster with a damp cloth.
• Insert the Removable Crumb Tray into the crumb tray slot.
• Make certain that the Bread Carriage Lever is in the uppermost position before plugging in the toaster’s power cord.
• Select a location for the toaster. The location should be:
• A flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
• At least three inches away from walls or the back of countertops.
• At least one foot away from any cabinet or shelving that may be above the toaster.
• Away from flammable materials, such as curtains and wall fabric.
• Away from a gas stove flame or electric element.
• Plug the Power Cord into a 120-Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
• Plug in the toaster without inserting any food into the bread slots, and push the Bread Lever all the way down until it locks. (The carriage will not lock if the toaster is not plugged into a power source.) The first toasting process will preheat the new elements and burn off any dust that may have accumulated during storage or manufacturing. It is normal for this burn off to create an odor

Using Your Toaster

Inserting the food into the bread slots and toasting:

• Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, such as bagels, tea cakes, thickly sliced breads, English muffins, etc. Slices should not, however, be so thick as to jam the bread slots.
• When toasting two slices at a time, the slices should be of equal size and freshness to ensure even toasting.
• When toasting two slices of bread, place one slice in the center of each bread slot.
• When toasting one slice of bread, place the slice in the center of either bread slot.

To Toast Your Food:

• Insert the food into the bread slots.
• Press the Toast Button. The Toast light will illuminate to indicate your selection.
• Press the Bread Carriage Lever until it locks.
• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Bread Carriage Lever will return to the up position, and the indicator lights will turn off.
• Carefully remove the toasted food from the bread slots.

To Toast Your Bagel:

• Insert the bagel into the bread slots.
• Press the Bagel button. The Bagel light will illuminate to indicate your selection.
• Press the Bread Carriage Lever until it locks.
• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Bread Carriage Lever will return to the up position and the indicator lights will turn off.
• Carefully remove the toasted bagel from the bread slots.

To Defrost Your Food:

• Insert the food into the bread slots.
• Press the Frozen button. The Frozen light will illuminate to indicate your selection. If desired, press the food select (Toast or Bagel). If no food is selected, the Toaster will operate in Toast mode. The Toaster will defrost and then toast your food.
• Press the Bread Carriage Lever until it locks.
• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Bread Carriage Lever will return to the up position and the indicator lights will turn off.
• Carefully remove the toasted food from the bread slots.

To Reheat Your Food:

• Insert the food into the bread slots.
• Press the Warm button. The Warm light will illuminate to indicate your selection. If desired, press the food select (Toast or Bagel). If no food is selected, the Toaster will operate in Toast mode. The Toaster will reheat your food.
• Press the Bread Carriage Lever until it locks.

Using the Cancel Function:

• Press the Cancel button. The toaster will stop toasting immediately, and the food will pop up automatically.

Cleaning Your Toaster

After use and before cleaning, unplug the toaster’s Power Cord from the power outlet and wait for the toaster to cool.

• Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth and dry it with another cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will damage the toaster’s finish.
• Lightly tap the sides of the toaster to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toast chamber. Remove the Crumb Tray and empty it. Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning. Be certain to put the Crumb Tray back into the toaster before using the toaster again.
• Wipe the surface on the top of the bread slots with a damp cloth and dry it with another cloth or paper towel.
• Do not immerse the Toaster in liquids.
