time for the best results. The heating elements will adjust to nicely toast the inside of a cut
bagel without burning the bagel’s outside surface.

toasting. Use Frozen mode for frozen foods only.
A Little Longer:If you have a preferred brownness setting but would like to toast something
“A Little Longer”, you can do so at the touch of a button, without changing your favorite
setting.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage: 120 Volts AC only
Frequency: 60 Hz
Wattage: KMT2203 1000 W
KMT4203 1800 W
NOTE: The Toaster has a 3-prong grounded
plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
PRODUCT SAFETY
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician to install an
outlet near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable
power supply cord) should be used to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power supply cord or
extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• The 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.
If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding-
type 3-wire cord.
GETTING STARTED
Before using your toaster, check the Extra-Wide Slots and remove any packing or printed
material that might have fallen inside during shipping or handling. Do not probe inside
the Toaster with a metal object. You may see light smoke the first time you use the
Toaster. This is normal. The smoke is harmless and will soon disappear.

MAKING TOAST
Shorten cord, if necessary, by wrapping cord under the base. The Toaster’s feet are tall
enough to allow the cord to exit from under any side of the Toaster.
NOTE: Different types of bread and their
moisture levels may require different shade
settings. For example, dry bread will brown
more rapidly than moist bread and will
require a lighter setting.
NOTE: For even toasting on 2-slot models,
toast only one bread type and thickness
at a time. If toasting two different types or
thicknesses of bread with 4-slot models with
Dual Independent Controls, be sure to toast
only one bread type in each pair of slots.
