SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long 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, and the longer 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.
NOTICE
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 in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Setting Color
1-3
4-6
7-9 light medium dark
Note: Use controls and carriage lever on the left to toast items in slots 1 & 2.
Use controls and carriage lever on the right to toast items in slots 3 & 4.
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 (including bagels) 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 into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
Single Slice Toasting:
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice, you won't overtoast.
Notes on Specialty Uses:
The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the
"Defrost" button:
Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels
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.
3. To Begin Toasting.
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To Stop Toasting.
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the
"Cancel" button.
Tips:
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings 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.
Defrost Button
The "Defrost" button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.

2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
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 slot, 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.
