USE AND CARE

Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there
is nothing in the toaster slots. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.

Be sure that the carriage is in the up position.
2. Set the browning control
Press "+" or "-" symbol to desired setting:
Setting Color
1–2 light
3–5 medium
6–7 dark
Note: Use controls and carriage lever on the left to toast items
on the left.
Use controls and carriage lever on the right to toast items
on the right.
3. To begin toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
To stop cycle
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to
stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel button. After
use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying
toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a
higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast,
sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two
cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc.,
from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help
prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires
in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
• Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, place the bread in the slot
marked with icon and set the heat selector to a lighter setting than
you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the whole
toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single
slice, you won't over-toast.
• Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select Defrost and then your preferred browning shade. For example, when
toasting a frozen bagel, select Defrost and Bagel and the browning level,
and then push down lever.
• Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long
before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster
pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely between the
guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a
fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
