SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 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.
POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Using your Toaster
- Before use, remove any stickers and wipe the body of your toaster with a damp cloth.
- Ensure that before plugging the toaster into the outlet, the bread carriage lever is in the resting position.
- Plug the cord into a 120/127 volt, 60 HZ AC outlet.
- Position the toaster at least 3 inches away from the wall or the rear of the counter.
- Let the first toasting process take place without inserting any bread to preheat the new elements and burn off any dust, which may have accumulated during storage.
- Select the desired level of darkness by turning the “1-7” light/dark knob on the front panel of the toaster to the right for darker toast and to the left for lighter toast. Your selection should vary based on the moisture content, thickness of bread, whether fresh or frozen, and your darkness preference.
- Next, place bread in the slot and depress the bread carriage lever downwards until it locks. The carriage lever will not stay down if the toaster is not plugged in. The self-adjusting bread guides will automatically center the bread for even browning.
- After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the bread will pop up automatically and is ready for removal from the slots. The bread carriage will return to its original position and disconnect the elements, ready for the next toasting.
- To remove toast, press up on the bread carriage lever to lift toast out of the bread slots.
- To remove jammed toast, unplug the toaster and remove the bread once the toaster has cooled down. Never insert fingers or metallic utensils into slots.
Do not wrap the cord around the main body of the appliance during or after use.
Useful Hints
- If you wish to cancel the toasting process, press the stop button. The toaster will stop immediately, and the food will pop up automatically.
- Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, such as bagels, tea cakes, thick-sliced breads, English muffins, waffles, etc. Slices should not, however, be so thick as to cause burning or jamming in the bread slots.
Adjusting the Power Cord Length
Your toaster’s cord storage area allows you to adjust the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire.
To adjust the length of the power cord:
Wrap the power cord around the cord storage posts on the base of the toaster until the cord is the length you desire.
Care and Cleaning
- After use and before cleaning, unplug the wall plug and wait for the toaster to cool.
- Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth and dry with another cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- To avoid damage to the toaster heating elements, do not use any pointed or sharp objects for cleaning the inside of the toaster.
- Attention: 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 and 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.
