Note: Do not place any bread in the toaster during the first toasting to allow the new elements to preheat and
burn off any dust that may have accumulated during assembly.
1. Make sure the crumb tray is in place and the bread compartment lever is on the UP position.
2. Set the toaster on a flat, stable countertop surface away form the edge and at least 3 inches away from
the wall or rear of a counter.
3. Unwind the power cord and plug it into a nearby outlet.
4. Insert the slices of bread. Be sure the bread compartment lever is on UP position.
5. Turn the browning selector to the desired position. The higher the number (1-7), the darker the toast color.
6. Press the bread compartment lever down until it locks into position.
7. When the toasting cycle is completed the toast is automatically ejected up. To terminate the toasting cycle
before it is completed, simply press the cancel button.
8. After use, unplug the toaster from electrical outlet and store in a safe place.
TOASTING GUIDE
Preheating is not necessary before using toaster. When using it for the first time, use the toaster with no
bread inside to release the smoke and gas that electrical appliances usually emit when they are new.
For slightly dry bread, use a lower light/dark setting than normal.
For fresh bread or whole wheat, use a higher setting than normal.
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher light/dark setting.
Thick pieces of bread will take longer to toast
Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins from the surface of the bread before
placing into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the
heating elements on the sides of the slots.
Single slice toasting: If you are toasting as single slice of bread, set the light/dark selector lighter than
normal. The toaster is designed to heat both the toasting compartments at once. By reducing the
toasting time for a single slice it will not be over toasted.
Frozen breads: Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and frozen bagels should be warmed using the
defrost button.
Pastries: Exercise caution when toasting pastries. The filling can become quite hot long before the
surface of the pastry becomes brown.
DEFROST BUTTON
The defrost button is designed to firstly defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle
slightly.
1. Insert slices of bread into the bread slots.
2. Turn the light/dark selector onto the desired position:
Setting 1-2: for refrigerated breads and thinner frozen items such as frozen pancakes.
Setting 3-4: for pastries, frozen waffles, thin French toast and refrigerated bagels.
Setting 5-7: for thicker frozen items such as bagels, hand cut bread and thick French toast.
3. Press the lever down until it locks into position.
4. When the cycle is completed the lever will automatically raise the toast up. To terminate the cycle before it
is completed, simply press the cancel button.
