BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Remove all packaging materials including those which may be
inside the Toasting Slots or Toasting Lever slot.
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. Be sure the Crumb Tray is pushed all the way into the Toaster
and the Toasting Lever is in the UP position.
5. Unwrap power cord from Cord Storage Area on underside of
Toaster and plug into a 120V AC outlet.
6. Turn the Adjustable Browning Control to the lightest setting (see
Page 5 for reference).
7. Lower the Toasting Lever until it locks in place. Operate with-
out bread once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue.
You may notice a slight amount of smoke; this is normal and
will stop as the heating elements continue to heat.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TOASTING BREAD
1. Be sure no bread or other objects are inside the Toasting Slot.
Place Toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface and plug the
power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Position the Adjustable Browning Control to desired setting. The
first time you toast, it is best to use both Toasting Slots; position
the Adjustable Browning Control to Medium (mid-way between
the lightest and darkest setting); then adjust each subsequent
toasting to your preference.
3Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into
the Toasting Slots. Avoid toasting torn bread slices that may get
lodged in Toasting Slot.
4. Insert the bread into the Toasting Slots. Lower the Toasting
Lever until it locks into place. The Centering Guides will auto-
matically center the bread for even toasting. When the bread
is lowered into position, it will automatically begin to toast.
NOTE: The Toasting Lever will not lock into position unless the
Toaster is plugged in!
NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in
either Toasting Slot.

NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the
opening of the Toaster, but always place it into the Slots.
NOTE: DO NOT change the Adjustable Browning Control
selection during the toasting cycle. First press the CANCEL
Button; then turn the Browning Control to adjust the browning
level. Replace bread and toast until the desired toast color is
achieved.
5. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop
up automatically.
6. Remove bread from Toasting Slots. Use care when removing
bread as the bread and Toaster will still be hot.
7. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove
toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause
injury.
CANCEL BUTTON
To stop or interrupt any Toasting cycle, press the CANCEL Button,
located on the side of the Toaster. The bread will automatically rise
and the Toaster will turn off.
TOASTING BAGELS AND ENGLISH MUFFINS
1. Plug power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Position the Adjustable Browning Control to the color desired.
For the first use, position the Adjustable Browning Control to
Medium (mid-way between the lightest and darkest setting).
3. Slice bagel or English muffin in half; place one half in each
Toasting Slot with the cut sides facing the center of the Toaster.
NOTE: Use either Toasting Slot when toasting only half a bagel or
English muffin. Use slices that fit freely into Toasting Slots. The
Automatic Centering Guides hold food upright for uniform
side-to-side toasting.
4. Push down to lower the Toasting Lever.
5. As soon as the Toasting Lever is lowered and locked into
position, press the BAGEL Button. This changes the Toaster
to gently heat the outside of each bagel while toasting the cut
side of the bagel. The BAGEL setting works great for English
muffins, too!
6. When the bagel or muffin is done, the Toasting Lever will pop
up. The Toaster will shut off automatically.
7. To interrupt toasting, press the CANCEL Button.

DEFROST BUTTON
Take the guesswork out of toasting frozen bread and other toaster
foods. The DEFROST Button is designed to first defrost and then
toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
1. Insert slices of bread into the Toasting Slots.
2. Turn the Adjustable Browning Control onto the desired posi-
tion.
3. Press the Toasting Lever down until it locks into position.
4. When the cycle is completed the bread carriage will raise the
toast up. To terminate the cycle before it is completed, simply
press the CANCEL button.
CONVENIENCE FOOD TOASTING
Extra wide Toasting Slots accommodate many varieties of packaged
convenience food available today, both frozen and non-frozen
(shelf pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is
difficult to recommend exact Browning Control settings. However,
after a little experimentation you will discover the best setting for
your needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions
on food packaging.
PASTRY
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry
package. If the package does not have instructions, position
the Adjustable Browning Control to Medium (mid-way between the
lightest and darkest setting). Some pastries may require a second
toasting cycle.
NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with
runny-type frosting or open fillings.
NON-FROZEN SHELF PASTRY
Move the Adjustable Browning Control to a lighter setting.
For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to turn
the Adjustable Browning Control clockwise for a longer toasting
cycle.
AUTOMATIC CENTERING GUIDES
Lowering the Toasting Lever closes the Centering Guides, and holds
the bread or toaster food centrally in the Toasting Slots.

NOTE: The Toasting Lever will not lock down unless the Toaster is
plugged into an electrical outlet.
REMOVING LODGED FOODS
If a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in
either of the Toasting Slots, unplug the Toaster and allow it to cool.
Hold the Toasting Lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down and
shake the food loose.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove
toast, because that may damage the heating element or
cause injury.
IMPORTANT POINTS
•Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in
the Toasting Slot.
•For best results, clean the Crumb Tray frequently.
•Different breads require different color settings. Raise Toasting
Lever manually or press the CANCEL Button at any time to
check toast color.
•Do not block top opening. Do not place any object over the
top opening.
•Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted
butter will cause fire.
•When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of
similar size, thickness and freshness.
•Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea
cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary
bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.
•Never immerse Toaster, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
•Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast,
because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
