including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.

provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over

a longer cord. This appliance is equipped with a short power cord.

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the

16. The power supply cord of this appliance has a polarized plug. As a safety

feature the plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. To prevent electric shock,

match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot of the outlet, and fully insert

plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. If the plug does not fit into

outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

OPERATING YOUR TOASTER

1. Place toaster on a dry, level, stable surface.

2. Plug power cord into a standard 120-V, 60 Hz AC-only 2-prong electrical outlet.

3. The blue LED display will light up, the toaster alert will sound, and the toast shade

number will display the last previous setting.

NOTE: The screen will go dark if no control button is pressed within 2 minutes of the screen lighting up. The screen will relight as soon as a control button is pressed.

NOTE: To silence the toaster alert sound, press the Lighter and Darker button at the same time for 3 seconds.

4. Press the Lighter or Darker button to the desired shade of darkness. As you press the

button, the shade level will appear in the LED display, from 1 (light) through 9 (Dark).

For the first time you toast, set the selector midway to 5, and adjust as desired for

future toasting.

IMPORTANT: Before toasting bread for the first time, run the toaster without bread through a cycle on the maximum heat setting (9). The toaster may emit a thin smoke or distinct odor neither of which are harmful to breathe or detrimental to the toaster.

5. Place bread slices or other items to be toasted in the slots. The long slots permit two

standard slices of bread, bagel halves or English muffins to be toasted side by side

in each slot. Also, long slices of artisan bread can be inserted horizontally and

toasted in the slots.

Once items are inserted into slots, press the Toast/Cancel button. The bread guides

will lower the items into the toaster and automatically adjust to hold them in place.

Press the Toast/Cancel control button to begin toasting in both slots. The toasting

time countdown will display in the LED screen.

To toast only in the front slot, press the Front Slot Toast button prior to Toast/Cancel.

6. Press the Toast/Cancel button at any time to cancel toasting. Canceling will turn off

the heating elements and raise the food. After 3 seconds the toaster alert will sound

5 times.

7. Press the Defrost button to defrost and toast frozen bread. Press the Lighter or Darker

buttons to decrease or increase the setting. Press the Toast/Cancel button to start the

defrost and toast cycle. After 3 seconds the time countdown will appear in the LED

display. Decrease or increase setting at any time during cycle by pressing the Lighter

or Darker button. To cancel the cycle at any time, press and hold the Toast/Cancel

button for 3 seconds.

OPERATING YOUR TOASTER

8. Press the Raise/Check button at any time during a toasting cycle to visually inspect

the bread. The bread will raise and the countdown will cease. After 5 seconds the

bread will lower back into the toaster and the countdown will resume.

9. The Warm button can be used independently to warm bread without toasting. It may

also be pressed during a toasting cycle to keep toast warm for 3 minutes at finish of

toasting cycle.

To Warm Bread

Press Warm button. The number 1 will appear in the LED display. Press Toast/Cancel

button. After 3 seconds a countdown of 30 seconds will begin in the display. At end of

countdown the warmed bread will raise and the ready alert will sound 5 times.

Keep Toast Warm

Press Warm button during a toasting cycle. At end of toasting cycle countdown the

bread will not raise, but will remain lowered in the slots for 3 minutes. During the 3

minutes the heating element will work intermittently to achieve lower temperature

required for warming. Bread may be raised from slots at any time by pressing Raise/

Check button.

button for 3 seconds. At the end of the Bagel cycle, the Bagel and Toast/Cancel

button words will cease to be illuminated.

ADJUSTING THE POWER CORD LENGTH

The retractable cord storage feature on this toaster allows you to adjust the power cord to the exact length needed from the toaster location to the electrical outlet. Adjust cord only after it is unplugged and after toaster cools. Do not unplug if any control button words are illuminated. Press Toast/Cancel button and wait for 3 seconds for control button words to go out before unplugging toaster.

- If cord is entirely retracted into the toaster or is drawn out to a shorter length than

desired, grasp the cord by the plug with one hand and steady the toaster with the other.

Pull the cord out to the desired length.

- If cord is already drawn out to a greater length than desired, grasp the plug with one

hand, steady the toaster with the other, and pull the plug out slightly to release the catch

mechanism. Then allow the cord to retract to the desired length. If the toaster is to

remain unplugged, allow cord to retract entirely into the toaster.

WARNING: To avoid possible injury to children, DO NOT allow children to use the retractable cord.

IMPORTANT: If food becomes jammed or wedged in the toaster, the built-in Auto

Power-Off function will automatically shut the power off. UNPLUG the cord and remove the jammed food item. Press Toaster/Cancel button two times to reset toaster.

WARNING: NEVER use metal utensils to free food from toaster.
