PARTS AND FEATURES

OPERATING YOUR TOASTER

Place toaster on a dry, level, stable surface.
Plug power cord into a standard 120-V, 60 Hz AC-only 3-prong electrical outlet.
Adjust the Toast Shade Selector to the desired setting. Turn the selector left toward 1 for lighter toast or right toward 9 for darker toast. For the first time you toast, set the selector midway to 5, and adjust as desired for future toasting. On four slice models, there are two Toast Shade Selectors, one for each side of the toaster.
Place bread slices or other item to be toasted in the slots and press down the Toast Control Lever until it clicks. The Self-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically adjust to hold the food in place. On the four slice model, there are two Toast Control Levers, one for each side of the toaster. The green light around the Cancel button will illuminate when the Toast Control Lever clicks in the down position, and will remain illuminated until toasting is finished, or until the Cancel button is pushed. On four slice models, there are two different Cancel buttons, one for each side of the toaster.
If the food to be toasted is frozen, press the Defrost button after you have pushed down the Toast Control Lever. The green light around the Defrost button will illuminate and will stay illuminated until the toasting is done, or the Cancel button is pushed. On the four slice model toaster, there are two Defrost buttons, one for each side of the toaster.
When toasting is done, the Toast Control Lever will automatically pop up and toast can be removed from toaster. To remove toast, lift up the Toaster Control Level to its highest point with one hand, and pull out the raised toast with your other hand.
The Bagel button will toast bagels and English muffins crisp on the inner-facing side, and soft and warm on the outside. Place the cut side of the bagel or English muffin in the toaster with the cut side toward the center of the toaster (Fig. 3). On the 4-slice model, there are two separate Bagel buttons, one for each side of the toaster. Push down the Toast Control Lever until it clicks, then press the Bagel button. The Bagel button will be illuminated to show it is in use, and will remain ON until toasting is done, or the Cancel button is pushed. To thaw and toast frozen bagels, press the Bagel button and the Defrost button, pressing either button first.

NOTE: 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 move the Toast Control Lever up and down a few times to raise the jammed food item. NEVER use metal utensils to free food.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING:

DO NOT immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid.
ALWAYS UNPLUG the toaster from the electric outlet before cleaning.

CRUMB TRAY

The Slide-Out Crumb Tray is located at the bottom rear of the Toaster.

NOTE: The 4-Slice model has 2 crumb trays.

For ease in cleaning, grasp the Crumb Tray Handle and pull crumb tray(s) all the way completely out of the toaster. Brush crumbs from the tray(s) and, if necessary, wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
ALWAYS dry the tray(s) thoroughly before replacing in toaster. When replacing, be sure to push firmly so the tray is fully inserted in the bottom of the toaster.

EXTERIOR

Wipe Toaster outer surfaces with a slightly dampened soft cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth or paper towel. DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the surface, and NEVER spray cleaners directly onto toaster.

Any other servicing should be performed by a qualified service technician.
