A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entangle-
ment or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; howev-

toaster. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR TOASTER
NOTE: When first used, your appliance may smoke slightly. Any smoke or odor is nor-
mal and will not recur after a few uses.
Your new Rival
®
Toaster has a cool touch exterior design that stays cool to the touch.
HOW TO TOAST BREAD
1. Plug power cord into 120 volt AC outlet.
2. Adjust browning control to desired lightness or darkness. Turn knob to LEFT for
light or to RIGHT for darker toast.
3. Insert bread into toasting slots. Depress bread lever. The wire basket will automati-
cally adjust to the thickness of food, centering it horizontally for even browning.
4. Toast will automatically pop up when selected browning is reached. Unit will shut
off. Additional Hi-Rise feature allows you to lift the lever higher to easily remove the
toast.
5. The Toast-Excel™ feature is automatic every time you use the toaster. Insert
bread/bagel normally and depress lever. Bread guides will automatically center the
toast and the metal flaps at the top will help trap the heat. This helps toast the
bread more effectively, efficiently and consistently.
6. This toaster comes equipped with an automatic safety shut-off feature. If food
becomes jammed or lodged inside the toaster and cannot be removed easily, the
unit will automatically shut off. To remove lodged food, unplug toaster and allow
to cool completely. Turn upside down and shake. NEVER INSERT FORK OR OTHER
METAL OBJECT INTO TOASTING SLOTS. Continue to use toaster normally.
7. When not using your toaster, unplug cord from wall outlet.
HOW TO TOAST PASTRIES AND OTHER CONVENIENCE FOODS
Many varieties of fresh or frozen pastries and convenience foods may be heated in your
toaster. Exact settings are difficult to recommend due to personal preference; experiment
to suit individual taste. Set browning control to 10 o‘clock for Fresh Pastry or 2 o‘clock
for Frozen Pastry, and adjust to personal taste.
NOTE: Some frozen pastries and convenience foods require two cycles for desired result.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature, this plug will 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.
POLARIZED PLUG

IMPORTANT
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in toasting slots.
• Avoid toasting foods with ”runny” frostings, icings or open fillings.
• Avoid torn slices of bread and broken pastries which may get lodged in toasting
slots.
• To remove lodged food, unplug toaster and allow to cool completely. Turn upside
down and shake. NEVER INSERT FORK OR OTHER METAL OBJECT INTO TOAST-
ING SLOTS.
• Different breads require different settings.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RIVAL TOASTER
CAUTION: Unplug. Never immerse toaster in water.
1. Allow unit to cool completely.
2. Wipe outside with soft, damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleanser or steel wool to
clean.
3. Slide crumb trays out in back bottom of toaster and empty crumbs. Wipe surface
with damp cloth to remove stubborn spots.
