HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade wider than the other). As a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the
plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet
feels warm do not use that outlet.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply
cord is provided to reduce risks 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 long detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally;
and

6 7
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set
or extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire
cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES:
1. Some countertop and table surfaces are not
designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on
a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot
pad or trivet under your toaster to prevent possible
damage to the surface.
2. During initial use of this appliance, some slight
smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal
with many heating appliances and will not recur after
a few uses.

POWER ON/OFF
This toaster features a touch sensitive display with a POWER
ON/OFF button. When the toaster is rst plugged in, the control
panel will turn on with the POWER ON/OFF button illuminated.
This is the unit’s idle state. To turn toaster ON, press the
POWER ON/OFF button and the control panel will illuminate.
Note: Once the unit is powered ON, If the toaster cycle is not
started or a selection is not made within 30 seconds, the unit
will return to the idle state.
Note: Two minutes after the last cooking cycle, the unit will
return to the idle state.
COUNTDOWN TIMER
The Countdown Timer is a visual representation of the cycle
time for the selected shade and function. It will automatically
start at the beginning of each cycle and count down until the
cycle is nished.
BROWNING CONTROL NUMBERS
The browning control numbers regulate how much the bread is
toasted—in other words, the color of the toast. Lower settings
produce lighter toast and higher settings produce darker toast.
When setting the browning control, remember that dry or thin
slices of bread will toast quicker and require a lower setting.
Moist or thick slices of bread will require a higher setting.
CANCEL BUTTON
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing
the cancel button.
QUICK CHECK & TOAST LIFT
The Quick Check Lever feature allows you to check the
progress of the toast without canceling the toasting process.
Just lift the lever up at any time during the cycle and lower
it again to resume toasting. If you nd your toast is cooked
to your preference, press the cancel button to stop further
toasting. You can lift the lever upwards from its rest position to
raise the toast and make it easier to remove.
FROZEN BREAD BUTTON
The Frozen bread button allows you to toast bread straight from
the freezer. Insert the bread into your toaster, press the toast lever
down and then press the Frozen bread button. Your toaster will
extend the toasting time to allow the bread time to defrost. Watch
the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
REHEAT BUTTON
The Reheat button is a quick 30 second toasting cycle to warm
up your toasted food. To use, insert the bread into your toaster
and press the Toast Lift Lever down, then press the Reheat button
to switch to reheat cycle. Your toaster will reheat your food for
additional toasting time.
BAGEL FUNCTION
To Toast Your Bagel:
Insert the bagel into the bread slots.
Press the Toast Lever until it locks.
Press the Bagel button. The Bagel light will illuminate to
indicate your selection.
After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food
will pop up automatically. The Toast Lever will return to the up
position and the indicator lights will turn off.
Carefully remove the toasted bagel from the bread slots.
BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION! Never force bread into the toasting slots.
Bread should t easily into the toasting slots. Never toast
slices of bread that have been buttered. Take extra care
when toasting items that contain sugar, jam or preserves,
as there is a risk of the ingredients leaking into the toaster,
causing overheating. Don’t use bent, damaged or broken
bread in your toaster as it may cause it to jam.

10 11
Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all
packaging from inside the toasting slots.
Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and level work
surface away from the edge. Bread may burn therefore do not
use the appliance near or below combustible materials such
as curtains. Never use the toaster below wall cupboards or
shelves. Position toaster at least 3 inches away from wall or
rear of counter.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt, 60 Hz AC outlet. Connect the plug
to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord
does not overhang the work surface.
When you rst use your toaster, there may be a slight odor as
the heating elements warm up for the rst time. This is quite
normal and not a cause for concern. To remove the odor,
simply operate your toaster for the rst time without any bread
in it.
USING YOUR TOASTER
1. Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The
higher the number selected, the darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting slots. Only toast single
slices of bread in each slot. Press the toast lever down
until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster
and toasting will begin. The toast lever will not latch if your
toaster is not connected to a working outlet.
3. When toasting has nished, the toast lever will rise and the
toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the toast lever
upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the
toast.
Note: After cooking cycle the unit will reset all functions.
4. If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn
the browning control to a lower setting and keep a careful
eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel
button.
TOASTING TIPS
• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread
because moisture levels differ from one bread to another,
toasting times may vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting
than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will require a higher
setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including bagel) will take longer
to toast—sometimes signicantly longer. This is because
more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before
toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require
two toasting cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any
loose raisins or fruit from the surface of the bread before
putting it into your toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard wires in
the toasting slot.
SINGLE SLICE TOASTING
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning
control to a lower setting than normal. By using a lower setting
when toasting a single slice of bread, it will not be over toasted.
IF YOUR TOASTER JAMS
CAUTION! Never use a knife or any other utensil or
implement to remove jammed bread. Never insert your
ngers into the bread slots.
1. Switch the toaster off and unplug it.
2. Allow the toaster to completely cool down.
3. Carefully ease the bread out of the toaster being careful not
to damage the heating element.

12 13
NOTES:
• The Auto-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically center
the food for even browning.
• Toast is the default setting if no food or function select
buttons are chosen.
• To use the Toast Lift, press up on the bread carriage lever
to lift food out of the bread slots. It is a convenient and safe
way of retrieving the smallest of toasted items.
