Use Guide

3. Operate the toaster without bread for one complete cycle on the highest setting to burn off any manufacturing residues. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Control Panel Overview

The control panel is located on the front of the toaster.

• Browning Control Dial: Turn to select browning level 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest).
• LCD Display: Shows the selected browning level for 4 seconds after lowering the lever, then switches to a countdown timer.
• Function Buttons:
  • BAGEL: Toasts the cut side of the bagel while warming the outer side. The button light will illuminate when active.
  • DEFROST: Use for toasting bread that has been refrigerated or frozen.
  • REHEAT: Warms already toasted bread for 30 seconds.
  • CANCEL: Stops the toasting cycle immediately and raises the bread. If this button is stuck, the lever will not stay down.
• Lever: Press down to lower bread into the slots and begin the toasting cycle.

Basic Toasting Instructions

1. Plug in the toaster to a standard 120V outlet.
2. Select Browning Level: Turn the dial to your desired setting (1-6).
3. Select Function (Optional): Press the BAGEL, DEFROST, or REHEAT button if needed. The corresponding light will turn on.
4. Insert Bread: Place bread slices into the slots. For even toasting, center the bread in the slots.
5. Start Toasting: Press the lever down until it clicks and locks. The LCD will display the browning level, then a countdown timer.
6. Completion: When the cycle finishes, the bread will pop up automatically. You may also press the CANCEL button to stop the cycle early.
7. Remove Bread: Use caution as the bread and slots will be hot. The toaster is designed to pop bread up to a height that allows for easy removal.

Note: For best and most even results, toast bread in pairs. Toasting a single slice may cause uneven browning.

Using the Warming Rack

1. Press down the lever located on the back of the toaster to raise the stainless steel warming rack.
2. Place irregularly shaped items like croissants or thick pastries on the rack.
3. Select a browning level and press the main lever to begin warming.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Crumb Tray: Regularly remove crumbs by pushing the tray on the back of the toaster to slide it out. Empty and wipe clean, then slide back into place.
• Slots: Do not insert any objects into the toasting slots. Crumbs should fall into the removable tray. If necessary, turn the toaster upside down over a trash can and gently shake to dislodge loose crumbs (ensure the toaster is cool and unplugged first).
• Never immerse the toaster, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Troubleshooting

• Bread burns even on low setting: Ensure you are toasting bread in pairs for even heat distribution. Toasting a single slice can cause burning.
• CANCEL button light is on and lever won't stay down: The CANCEL button may be stuck. Gently restore the button to its normal position.
• Toaster only toasts one side of bread: Check if the BAGEL mode is accidentally activated. The BAGEL button light will be on if active. Press the button to deactivate it.
• Breads toast unevenly with two slices: Place bread slices in the center of the slots, not pushed to one side.
• Bread from refrigerator doesn't toast well: Use the DEFROST function for refrigerated or frozen bread.
• Toaster does not heat: Verify the unit is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the CANCEL button is not stuck (see above).
