SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that
there is nothing in the toaster slots. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.

TIPS AND HINTS
Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread.
Therefore, differences in moisture level from one item to another can
result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole-wheat bread, use a higher setting than
normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English mufns) will require
a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes
signicantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two
cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose fruit, from
the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help
prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide
wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves.
Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast, and Bagels
Use the Defrost function to defrost and then toast these items. Simply
insert the frozen item, select desired browning setting (1–7), press
down the carriage lever, then select Defrost.
Toaster Pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite
hot long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Start by
using the lightest setting. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while
toasting or warming.
For Best Results
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should t freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a re
hazard.
•
Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven thickness.
4. To begin toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks in the down position and
toasting will begin.
5. To stop cycle
When the toasting cycle is nished, the toast will be raised. If you
wish to stop the cycle before it is nished, simply press the Cancel
button.
6. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb
tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the
toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp
instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster and
cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the rear
cord stuff box to store any excess cord length.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
