IMPORTANT :
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper pre-
cautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property.
1. A person who has not read and understood all operating, toasting, and safety instructions is
not qualified to operate this appliance. All users of this appliance must read and understand this
Instruction Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.
2. If this appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water, unplug it from the wall outlet
immediately. Do not reach into the water!
3. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for
air circulation. Do not operate this appliance while it is touching or near curtains, wall
coverings, clothing, dishtowels or other flammable materials.
4. To reduce the risk of fire, do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
5. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately press the CANCEL button(s) and
unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair a malfunctioning appliance!
6. The cord to this appliance should only be plugged into a 220-240V AC electrical wall outlet.
7. Use the toaster on a hard, flat surface. Do not place it near any heat source or on a soft surface (such
as a carpet). Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Dropping the Toaster could cause it to
malfunction.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Never attempt to dislodge food inside the toaster while the
toaster is plugged in. Doing so could cause an electrical shock hazard or a risk of fire.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always
use oven mitts when handling hot material and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place
anything on top of the toaster while it is operating or while it is hot.
CAUTION:
DO NOT toast pastries with runny fillings or frosting.
DO NOT toast torn slices of bread.
DO NOT place buttered bread or wrapped food into the Toaster.
DO NOT toast small-size bread, mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Remove all packaging materials including those that may be inside the toasting slots or toasting lever slots.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Do not put the toaster, cord or plug in water.
4. Ensure that the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the toaster and that the toasting
lever is in the up position.
5. Unwrap the power cord from cord storage area on the underside of the toaster and plug into a 220 - 240V
AC outlet.
6. Turn the browning selector knob to (1), the lightest setting.
7. Lower both of the toasting levers until they lock in place. Operate without bread once or twice to burn
off any manufacturing residue. You may notice a small amount of smoke; this is normal and will
stop as the heating elements continue to heat.

AUTOMATIC CENTERING GUIDES
1. Lowering the toasting lever closes the centering guides, and holds the bread or toaster food centrally
in the toasting slots.
Note: The toasting lever(s) will not lock down unless the toaster is plugged into a 220-240V AC electrical outlet.
TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the toaster and the toasting
levers are in the up position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots. Place the toaster on a flat, level,
heat resistant surface.
3. Plug the power cord into a 220-240AC electrical outlet.
4. Position the browning selector knob to the desired setting(s). To test toasting times for browning, it is
best to use both toasting slots. Position the browning selector between (3) and (4) medium;
then adjust each subsequent toasting session to your preference.
5. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
6. Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting slot(s). Lower the toasting lever until locked into place.
The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread
is lowered into position, toasting will begin.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the toaster is plugged into a 220-240V AC
electrical outlet.
NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.
NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster, always place bread
into the slots.
NOTE: DO NOT change the browning selector knob selection during the toasting cycle. First press the
CANCEL button; then turn the browning selector knob to adjust the browning lever. Lower the toasting
lever and toast until the desired toast color is achieved.
7. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop up automatically.
8. Remove bread from toasting slot(s). Use care when removing bread as the bread and the top of the
toaster will still be hot.
9. To interrupt toasting, press the CANCEL button.
10.Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast. This may damage the heating
element or cause injury.
