HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

• a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
• b. The 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; and
• c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord. Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

Learning About Your Toaster

1. Bread slots
2. Toast Lift Lever
3. Frozen function
4. Bagel Function
5. Cancel button
6. Crumb tray (at rear)
7. Browning control

BROWNING CONTROL

• The browning control regulates how much the bread is toasted—in other words, the color of the toast. Lower settings produce lighter toast and higher settings produce darker toast.
• When setting the browning control, remember that dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and require a lower setting. Moist or thick slices of bread will require a higher setting.
• CANCEL BUTTON
• The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
• TOAST LIFT LEVER
• The Toast Lift Lever allows the use of the loading handle to help you remove the toast. When toasting has finished, lift the loading handle upwards from its rest position to raise the toast and make it easier to remove.
• FROZEN BREAD BUTTON
• The Frozen bread button allows you to toast bread straight from the freezer. Insert the bread into your toaster, press the toast lever down, and then press the Frozen bread button. Your toaster will extend the toasting time to allow the bread time to defrost. Watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
• BAGEL FUNCTION
• To Toast Your Bagel:
• Insert the bagel into the bread slots.
• Press the Toast Lever until it locks.
• Press the Bagel button. The Bagel light will illuminate to indicate your selection.
• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Toast Lever will return to the up position, and the indicator lights will turn off.
• Carefully remove the toasted bagel from the bread slots.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all packaging from inside the toasting slots.
• Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry, and level work surface away from the edge. Bread may burn; therefore, do not use the appliance near or below combustible materials such as curtains. Never use the toaster below wall cupboards or shelves. Position the toaster at least 3 inches away from the wall or rear of the counter.
• Plug the cord into a 120-volt, 60 Hz AC outlet. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface.
• When you first use your toaster, there may be a slight odor as the heating elements warm up for the first time. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern.
• To remove the odor, simply operate your toaster for the first time without any bread in it.

USING YOUR TOASTER

1. Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected, the darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting slots. Only toast single slices of bread in each slot on 2-slice toasters. 4-Slice Long Slot Toasters can accommodate no more than 2 slices of bread in each slot. Press the toast lever down until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster, and toasting will begin. The toast lever will not latch if your toaster is not connected to a working outlet.
3. When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise, and the toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast.
4. If the toast is not done enough, it can be toasted again. Turn the broiling control to a lower setting and keep a careful eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.

TOASTING TIPS

• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread because moisture levels differ from one bread to another, and toasting times may vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Bread that has a very uneven surface will require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including bagel) will take longer to toast—sometimes significantly longer. This is because more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require two toasting cycles.

SINGLE SLICE TOASTING

• If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning control to a lower setting than normal. By using a lower setting when toasting a single slice of bread, it will not be over-toasted

IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS

1. Switch the toaster off and unplug it.
2. Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
3. Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster, being careful not to damage the heating element.
   • NOTES:
   • The Auto-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically center the food for even browning.
   • Toast is the default setting if no food or function select buttons are chosen.
   • To use the Toast Lift, press up on the bread carriage lever to lift food out of the bread slots. It is a convenient and safe way of retrieving the smallest of toasted items.

Using the Cancel Function:

• Press the Cancel button. The toaster will stop toasting immediately, and the food will pop up automatically.
• GENERAL INFORMATION
• Tip: Your toaster has been designed for optimum toast balance. Some elements on the inside of the toaster may glow more brightly than others when in use. This is part of normal toaster operation.
• To remove food jammed in the bread slots, unplug the toaster and remove the food once the toaster has cooled down.

Cleaning Your Toaster

• After use and before cleaning, unplug the wall plug and wait for the toaster to cool.
• Wipe the outside of the oven with a damp cloth and dry with another cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  CAUTION: Do not immerse in water or any liquid.
• To avoid damage to the toaster heating elements, do not use any pointed or sharp objects for cleaning the inside of the toaster.
• CAUTION: Empty the crumb tray frequently. Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if not emptied periodically. When the toaster has cooled down completely, tap the sides of the toaster lightly to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toaster 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. Tap sides again to ensure proper disposal. Return the crumb tray back into the toaster before using it again.
• This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative only. See Warranty Section.
