IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

(Con’t.)

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION: This product is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the Toaster while it is operating or while it is hot.

CAUTION: This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this

Owner’s Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately lift Toasting Lever manually and unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Use the Toaster on a hard, flat surface. Do not place it near a flame or heat or on a soft surface (such as carpet). Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Dropping the

Toaster could cause it to malfunction.

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and

(2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your toaster may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

This product is for household use only.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Carefully unpack your Toaster and remove all packaging materials.

• To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, simply wipe the Toaster exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers.

• Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in water.

CENTERING BREAD GUIDES

Lowering the Toasting Lever closes the Bread Guides, holding the bread centrally in the Bread Slots.

NOTE: Bread slice size should not exceed 4.5” x 4.75” x 1” thick.

SELECTING TOAST COLOR

The Adjustable Browning Control Knob is located at one end of your Toaster.

Simply turn the Knob clockwise to the desired toast color: the furthest position to the left is for warming and very light toasting; as you rotate the Knob clockwise, toasting will be progressively darker.

Lighter

To end the toasting operation turn the toast color knob counter clockwise until the toast pops up or the toaster shuts off.

Darker

The first time you toast, it is best to position the Knob at the middle of the range; then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.

TOASTING BREAD

1. Place your Toaster on a flat, level surface.

2. Plug power cord into a 120V AC outlet.

3. Adjust the Adjustable Browning Control Knob to the desired lightness or darkness. Turn Knob to the left for lighter toast or to the right for darker toast.

4. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in

Bread Slots. (Avoid toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries, which may get lodged in Bread Slots.)

5. Place bread or toaster food into Bread Slots and depress the

Toasting Lever. The Bread Slots will automatically center for even toasting.

When toasting a single slice, the bread or toaster food may be placed in either Bread Slot, but may toast slightly darker on the inside than on the outside.

6. Toast will automatically pop up when the selected color is reached.

7. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

NOTE: To prevent a risk of fire, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster, but always place it into the

Bread Slots.

REMOVING LODGED TOAST

If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the Toaster, unplug the

Toaster and allow to cool. Press the Toasting Lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down, and shake the toast loose.

IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast. Doing so may damage the heating element or cause injury.

PASTRY

For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package does not have instructions, position the

Adjustable Browning Control Knob in the middle. Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.

NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting or open fillings.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in

Bread Slots.

• For best results, clean Crumb Tray frequently.

• Different breads require different color settings.

• Do not block top openings. Do not place any object over the top openings.

• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire.

• Bread which has been toasted but not buttered may be reheated.

Use a lighter setting and watch it carefully.

• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.

• Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.

• Never immerse Toaster in water.

• This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.

• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast. Doing so may damage the heating element or cause injury.
