Before First Use

Basic Toasting

1. Plug the toaster into a standard 120V electrical outlet.
2. Place slices of bread, bagels, or other toasting items into the slots. Ensure food items do not touch the heating elements.
3. Select the desired browning level using the Shade Control Dial (1-7).
4. Press the Lift Lever down until it locks. The toasting cycle will begin.
5. When toasting is complete, the lever will raise automatically. You may also press the Cancel button to stop the cycle early.

Using the Special Functions

• Bagel Function: Insert bagel halves with the cut side facing the center of the toaster. Press the Bagel button (LED will light), then press the lever down.
• Defrost Function: Insert frozen bread. Press the Defrost button (LED will light), select your shade, then press the lever down.

• Cancel Function: Press the Cancel button at any time during a toasting cycle to stop it immediately.

Dual Independent Controls

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Always unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior: Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Crumb Trays:
   • Gently pull the crumb trays out from the front and back of the toaster.
   • Empty crumbs into a trash bin.
   • Wash the trays in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
4. Interior: Do not insert any objects into the slots to clean them. Turn the toaster upside down over a trash bin and gently shake to dislodge loose crumbs. The crumb trays are designed to catch most debris.
